As for the cars...
'89-'90 had same body but different front bumper...the "nostril" bumper.  The engine is the KA24E 2.4L SOHC w/ 140hp and timing chain problems.
'91-'93 had the smooth front bumper.  The engine is the KA24DE 2.4L DOHC w/ 155hp 160lb.ft. of torque and the timing chain problems are pretty much rememdied.
'94 only the convertible was available with the same KA24DE as '91-'93....it's heavier, flimsier, and slower.

The '91-'93 KA24DE's had weaker internals than the '95+ KA's, so turbocharging is limited w/o a rebuild.  Popular swaps are the JDM SR20DET and CA18DET.

As far as price...not sure, but I got my '92 base model fastback in excellent condition 6 months ago for $3K.
