Are the head gaskets good? any issues. I want to buy a 1994 to 1997 for around $4000. There are plenty around. What should I look for when buying one. Should I do a compression test?

Thanks any information would be appreciated.

Well it sounds like you liked the four door thing which is cool, In that case i dont know if anyone already said this but go with the 1995 LS Cavalier their pretty much the same thing but the LS dont have limiter my friend went 120 on the freeway with his cavalier yea i know its hard to bolive and for some reason i think their lighter than the two door. Yeah just a suggestion
