That car looks exactly like my '92.

The CEL could be a number of things - only a couple might be serious. Assuming it checks out as minor (my initial guess is caps, rotors, & plugs) and you buy it, you're going to LOVE that car.

With 155K on the clock mine still drives like an essentially brand new car. It is fast, smooth, quiet, and gets good fuel mileage.

Stay on top of the cooling system! That, the wiring harness, and the A/C are the Achilles heels of these cars. The good news is that the M119 harnesses cost less than the M104.
