164K, bad VTCs, 1992? You're not in Houston and looking at this:

... are you?
I was thinking of getting that one for a repair/resell in case it wasnt going to sell
Transmission is probably fine, just needs to be cleaned. Mine was terrible until I cleaned the pan and replaced all the fluid. Power/Comfort probably just needs new bulbs. VTCs arent too hard if you have some experience working on cars. Injectors should be checked, as well as coils, and spark plugs... those things usually solve engine performance issues.
