WHy do you need to know the model?

Anyway, I can't tell you unless I know more options. Power anything? Cruise control? Sunroof?

It is NOT a GSL.
I'm confused on why your mechanic would need to know the model. . . .

there is no power anything. i dont know about cruise control because so many things from the inside are missing. it has a sunroof but to open it you have to turn a dial. if you look straight up at the sunroof you cant see through it (cloth).

It's a GS, but that makes no difference. When ordering parts they will ask if it is a 12a or 13b and if it has drum or disc brakes. That's all you/he really need to know.

Yep, there's absolutely zero need to know the model other than to find out if it has drums or not

this is about when your faith in your mechanic should be waning, and you should buy a haynes manual (or an OEM service manual if you got the cash...)
soon you'll be doing alignments with large, straight 2x4's and a good measuring tape
