From what I know of you, I don't believe you will be pleased with this vehicle.
It's a 1996 and it does not have a turbo, if I am correct. So, the acceleration will be "measured". Most of us would be fine with it. But, I don't think you will.
It's probably not worth rolling the dice and getting it in shape, only to sell it because it won't match your expectations.
The '98-'99 is a better choice.
