Any cosmetically, it's a new car!
I hope it gives you many more years of faithful service.

There are a number of downsides to owning a pre 97 car and while the later models did loose some options they gained some as well. Not to mention the increasing difficulty of finding cars like yours. All of the older 140's I drove were not acceptable to me cosmetically and most had some kind of issue.

Not to mention dealing with wiring harness issues within the next 5 - 10 years when the inside wiring starts to disintegrate like the wiring under the hood.
