Default Which Eclipse should I buy? (Posted wrong car, fixed)

I'm about to buy a car in a week and I am deciding between these two Eclipses. I'm new to cars so can someone list the Pros and Cons of each?

Car 2

Without reading the descritions I say 92 hands down. 92 has a chance to havethe stronger motor and rear end if it is 92.5 or earlyer

even if the 92 is a 7 bolt its still a 1g 7 bolt. nothing to worry about.
id go for the GSX just check out the drivetrain good.

Well that is not 100% true. ask 93eclipseGSX he had a bearing give way. On top of that I though 92s had flip ups? this one is not. So it got me thinking. Plus I think the 90 looks better after a second glance and atleast the 90 is a 6 bolt

90-91 had flip ups, any motor can have a bearing let go.
its not just the year of it, its how it was treated from the day it was new. the 1g 7 bolts dont crankwalk like the 2g ones,
that motor is no more likely to spin a bearing than a 6 bolt is. lots of 6 bolts spin bearings. its all in the condition and how it was maintained. i think the AWD car would be better just for that reason, and its got alot less miles on the car itself. i cant honestly say untill i would personally look at them both but the GSX would be my first choice
