Well, normal mileage average is .05$ to $.07 per mile so $.10 is good). I would also look at condition of both cars. Lower mileage does not necessarily indicate better shape. Carl is correct, there is not a '92 Ci so that may just be a misprint or someone that doesn't know what they've got (beware of ignorant owners in that if they don't know what they have they probably don't know how to perform regular maintenance also). The 91 and 92 both have the M70/B50 engine, however the 6 speed is rated at 0-60mph @ 6.1 seconds whereas the Auto is rated at 0-60mph @ 6.9 seconds). Hope that helps. Also, check for ASC+T vs. plain ASC and EDC shocks (more expensive to fix).
