Hi, I'm relatively new here, so I'll be fairly blunt and straight to the point. I'm attempting to choose betweeen a 1997 626 with 106,000 miles @ 5999 vs. a 1995 626 with 109,000 miles @3250 with no tax. The 1997 is in better condition, with CD player & sunroof, but we can't tell if the major work has been done yet (timing belt, etc.) and comes from a dealer 26 mi away. The 1995 is in a little worse condition, could use some cosmetic work, has a problem with the front fender, and comes from a local dealer. In doing my research on cars.com, I discovered that the 1997 has a worse mechanical rating of 2 stars vs the 1995 with 4 stars. Can someone please tell me why this is? Has anyone noticed any defects in these models? I would really appreciate your help.
