Thanks guys!

Suppose if i buy an older 92 model and it seems ok
(there are no rust and everythinkg seems to work ok)
then it is propably allready had its share of quality problems
and they are then solved during warranty time...

This one does not have ac, abs, airbags, alarm/immobilizer
and remote central locking. I believe the lack of those can be
understud so that there are less problem sources.
I could accept those "little deficensy's". Most of them are bolt in stuff
now days...

There are mostly money issues why i cannot even think of getting mutch newer
that 92--> or so...
There are allso very few on market here in finland. (There were tax related
relief for 4x4 cars pre 92...) After that they got even more expensive so
finnish people stopped buying them...
