Welcome! The biggest issue is always cooling system. If you're able to find a 95 model, it will most likely have the M42 OBD1 motor. This motor was designed without a plastic cooling pipe that is failure prone on the M44 cars. Also, M42 motors have forged internals vs cast, so there's that.

99s are rare and were all sport models, so that's something to consider.

I have a california roof model which can be fun sometimes but also has its own problems.

These cars are easy to work on and fun to drive, you'll have a good time either way.
