1. Year does not matter much as long as you get the post 90's car, the important thing is how the owner(s) took care of the car body and maintenance in all these years of service.

2. the m42 is better

3. will let the m40/42 gurus chime in on this.

if the offer price is right, your fren will find many good examples for sale. :yes:
