Trying to decide between 3 DSMs

[96GST20g]

So ive been looking around for a DSM to grab and get back into them and found 3 so far.

90 GSX 5spd 101k miles body is great just needs some TLC. Transmission synchros are going put for 2nd and no AC Clean Title $3000

91 Talon TSI AWD 170k miles 5spd Body looks strait but paint is rough. Salvage Title $3000

95 Talon TSI AWD 200k Auto. Body looks ok but hood has a slot cut into it, no ac, clean title $3000

Im kind of leaning towards the 90 or 95 right now due to the salvage title on the 91. All of them run and drive and prices are what I have them down to. Need a little help on them since ive been out of the game for almost 6 years now and fell out of pricing and all.

If the choice was mine, it would be the 90'.

95 since its an auto awd.

If these were the last 3 on earth, and forced to pick, I'd go with the 95.

I vote 90, unless it has more rust than the 95.

I'd go with the 90. Lowest miles and the body looks to be in the best shape. FYI the 90 has some oddball parts so if you have to replace things you may have to look harder for parts on the 90 than you would on other year cars.

ALL 3

90 would be my pick too, but I’d like to add that by the time you get any of them up to par, you could probably just pay more for one that’s already been more well kept.

Can't say I like any of them. The 90 has mismatched body panels and wing. All of the paintjobs are destroyed and will need costly new paint. None of these cars look like they're modded so it's not like you're going to get a nice fmic kit, nice cams, fp red, ecmlink etc. It's a pass for me.

90.

You guys serious about the 95? The longer I look at that picture the more I think . Even the steering wheel is odd.

 

[ShadyDoins]

We've all been picking the "best" out of those 3 but to be honest most of us wouldn't buy any of those. Even the best one imo, the 90, will take enough money to get it to where it's respectable that you would be better off just spending alittle more on a different car that has been maintained well.

my 2 cents.. don't let a rebuilt title affect your decision unless you are worried about resale value. I've had a couple vehicles with rebuilt titles with 0 issues. Honestly even got what I paid for 1 and profit off the other.

I agree here, with kbb values of our cars a tiny fender bender totals them. That’s why mine has a rebuilt title, and I can’t even tell where the accident happened.
