yeah 6 cylinder.
considering that it is a 92 model... is the 4ws reliable since it is a fairly old designed system? because thats the only thing hes worried about right now. |

I had a '92 V6 manual TX5 Ghia without 4WS. Great car, comfy, quick and reliable. Make sure all the electronic stuff works, the A/C compressor is not clicking, no engine oil leaks and all the fluids are right. Don't forget the basics like tyres, shocks and driveshafts.
Parts for these cars are not cheap - generally everything is double the price of the same thing for a Laser/323. |
