having also driven and worked on a few 92-96 troopers in s.florida, my suggestion is
to locate a single owner car where you can verify each part replaced and history of
the car - these have been the best performers and assurance the cars were not abused

I know or several instances of people paying USD 4500 to 5500 for a 92 or 93 model
with 65000 to 85000 miles where the cars had original paint (kept in a garage), all
major a/c components replaced with original parts (compressor, evap, condenser),
entire front-end serviced (boots, half-axles, hubs) and the overall condition of the
engine was "so clean you could eat off it..."

you may think they overpaid by 2000 or more but they got cars that have needed almost
zero repairs (one needed a starter at a cost of $130) and only regular oil changes.

I had a couple (88 &89) troopers and the problems  and the rust (and
the love - off road and dependable). So I am looking south to rust
free (or should I say salt free ) areas mid west and maybe florida??

Anyway - I found a 96 luxury for $2500 and I think that might be worth
a plane ride down and then drive the beast bak (to Toronto).  My
questions are -are the later '90s troopers pretty easy to work on?  Am
I asking for a heap of pain?  Are there years to avoid?  I know the
late eighties 2.6 4 cyl was to be avoided but I bought a couple, did
the heads - it was a drag but I had some fun I can tell you.  Now I
want some more fun but a little more comfort.

What say you?
