$23K isn't a bad price if it checks out well, but '94s are showing up in the high teens. Check the fit of the soft top, and look for ANY rust in the frame, especially around the rear crossmember and gas tank area. Also on the sills, under the doors. Check the bottom edges of the doors too
The 3.9 is fine, as long is it never got severely overheated. It was a bit light in the 110, but for a 90 it's ok.
'97s are great for the auto, but I don't much like GEMS EFI systems. What's your primary use? City, country or offroad.
