I looked at it, I drove it, I wanted to know if you guys thought it was a buy or pass... I decided I'm going to get it nonetheless.

And also, KBB and all those other appraisers have these flaws:
High end imported cars: Add a few thousand.
Basic imports: Price listed applies.
ANY domestic: Cut the price in half.

yeah $8500 is a little steep.
I payed $9500 for my '92, but it only had 76k on it.

I paid $10,000 for my 95 with 87k and books. But all that matters is that we get a car that we like. Sourcemine, hopefully the car is as nice as the price suggests. I hope you love your SC as much as I love mine. There's nothing else like them. And put up some pics when you get that pretty thang!

sorry to dissapoint you but the 92-94 does not have fog lights. those are just corner lamps that flash when you hit the turn signal. also as you may have noticed it does not have a passenger side air bag and it uses the older ac refrigerant and it does not have the auto head lights on/off feature. but other than that the 94-96 is about the same except for changed tail lights in 95. but im sure you can find all that info at intellexual.net or if u do a search.

Passenger side airbag and auto head lights on/off feature have been standard equipments on SC4s since the 1993 model year. 
95 taillights are very easy to swap for 92'-94' cars. I have 95' taillights on my car and they look great.

And actually I have PIAA's in my headlights (PIAA Extreme Whites) and they look awesome. HID's would be better but still, they're better than stock halogens. Let me know if you ever want to roll by and check it out. I live 2 miles away from Pink's Hot Dog's on Melrose, I know you know where that is
