They all look virtually the same, except that 94-95 got the new hood / grill / headlights.

1993-1995's got the 3.2 liter M104 engine, so I'd put these years at the top of my list.

Next, I'd look for 1990-1992's as they got a 3.0 liter version of the M104 engine (it doesn't have variable valve timing like the 3.2 liter version).

Last, I think I'd look at 88-89, as they got the least powerful engine, the 3.0 liter M103.

Having said that, I think all of the years are great cars.
