What say the masses

[ssmoparviii]

I would like to get the opinion of everyone on here about a 1996 Mark VIII vs my 1993 Mark VIII... I have the chance to get a 96 with 113,000 miles on it. Its black with tan interior and 10 spoke wheels. The only catch is for me to get it I would have to get rid of the 93. My 93 has 116,000 on the clock its red with black interior. I dont know what is wrong with the 96 since I have not got to look at it yet. So what say you the masses?

Only way I'd fox with a 96 is if it was an LSC and cleaner than the one you got now. Being OBD II is a plus, but too many 96 only parts that you can't find anymore. Oh and tan interior sucks. A few years back I almost bought a supercharged 96 off ebay, til I saw the tan guts.

If its a DD I would keep the 93 I know.

It would need to be a much better car and a lsc

Ya its not an LSC... I really would like a Gen 2 LSC if I were to get an LSC.

 

[Calabrio]

Why consider the change?
The only significant advantage of the '96 was the gen1 styling with LSC package, the monochrome trim, the possibility of HID headlights, and maybe the dual exhaust.

Unless you just want black/tan more than a red/black, I fail to see any advantage for you.

the other car has no fewer miles and an unknown history. i don't think that's worth the trouble.

 

[NoLimit95]

All of the above!

 

[ssmoparviii]

So far I see exactly what all of you are saying... So I just think I will keep the 93... I would really like an LSC.

 

[LaserSVT]

Everyone has said what I would.

 

[BlackLS06]

I dont have a mark but if i were to ever own one it would be gen II black on black.

 

[Green Machine]

Save your ching. keep the 93. you already own the best of the bunch!

 

[Right on the Mark]

Like mentioned only thing "better" with the 96 is OBD11. Other one year stuff not good when finding parts. 93 all the way.

 

[Sapperfire]

Keep the 93, I wouldn't take a 96lsc over it simply because of the parts you can no longer get..
Just because whatever may work now, doesn't mean its not going to fail eventually, and when it does, you're stuck

you have the factory tune the LSC wishes it had...the old wise saying "sometimes the grass isn't greener on the otherside of the fence."

how dare you 2nd gen owners not even say it, sell the 93 and buy a gen 2

Is a 96 2nd gen now?

 

[BAD97LSC]

Just for you Jamie, I'm gonna get a 2nd gen in a couple of months, maybe 3, just so you'll shut your pie hole.

I see you found the typical gen 2 owner to carry the signs.

And thats why gawd hates you.

If the body on the black car was IMMACULATE then I would consider it, only because you could put the red car's interior into it and have a clean gen 1 blk/blk.
