problem looking for a car from 92-93 is it will more than likely be 100k miles, but really thats not that important what miles it has done as long as its been cared for.

they will all be over 100k as people have said, plus there arent that many tidy ones about (ie non rusty arches) and also high percentage of them have been converted to lets
