I own a 92 with 80,000, during its life it has had the AC replaced $4,000 (common on most no matter the year)a rebuilt bose amp $600, two close assist pumps $.800 (one customer adjust) engine and trans mounts, lower control arm bushings and sway bar links, in addition to brakes, tuneups (expensive), lots of tires, alignments and excessive tire balancing, since it has always had a slight vib. at 45 which is quite common. Bridgestone tires, the front end re-done and "road force balancing have all but eliminated that. You should check the service records of either one, the 95 probably does not have the vib. issue since they made some suspension changes
