Default Difference 89/91?

Hey guys. Im looking at two Vettes in mint condition. Ones a 1989 the other a 1991 both are automatics. Which one would you pick between the two?
Is there a big difference?

I have an 89 but i would pick a 91, first of all it has the modern dash, secondly its almost the year that the l98 was last produced so it would have less defects and if you don't care about these two things than get the most standard one cause i wouldn't want something thats not suppose to be there.

Though the '91 comes with 5chp more due to flat-top pistons, I prefer the '89 for the MAF, the digi-dash, feel of the interior and it's overall styling.

But it's a no lose situation with either; just depends on your preference. Take a look at the options on each, the look & feel and go for the one that you "need".

Money, miles, optional equipment ?

I would think the price/condition and cosmetic differences should provide a clear winner.

Given the same condition the 91 should cost more passed on age, so providing there's not a huge difference (price gorging) you almost have to discount price if you can afford either.

Its then up to which you like better with the interior/exterior differences.

I guess I basically saying, mechanically and performance wise there's really no difference - its coming down to what you like.

Post some pictures and you'll like whichever you choose :cheers:
