Thanks Hades I will be getting pictures tonight and will probably go see it depending on the rain situation. It has been pouring for the last few days.

It's saying FI for all of my cars as well, except the SA (it doesn't say the VIN is valid ).
Either way, it's wrong. . . . or maybe they just don't know better. Either way. . . . have you actually SEEN the car? That picture doesn't look. . . right. . . . somehow.

yea i should easily be able to get for 1500... 2000 is the max. He said he was asking 2k but prob wouldnt take less than 1500 so im sure its def between that. Does anyone else think this is a good deal? How does it look all in all. Like I said he got it in a trade but is going to get in touch with the guy who owened it before him and ask that guy what he did to it. I will keep you posted with that as well as more pics in the AM. Let me know what you guys think.

Actually looks pretty good. I spotted what appeared to be a missing lug bolt on the rear, and the rear wiper is not installed. The wiper may have been removed, or the rear hatch glass was replaced with one from a rear wiper car. As long as the holes have been sealed, it shouldn't cause any problems, though.
The missing lug should be replaced ASAP. That can cause a safety issue.
Very clean looking body, on the outside. Just be sure to look for rust on the underside, before spending any money.

Is it that little storage like dip by the power windows? If I'm not mistakened, something with a control **** goes there.

I don't know what it is because I never thought to use it when I started up my GSL.

Edit: Yes, my 100th post!

GSL would have a Disk rear, But have the standard 3.90 gear, SE has the 13B and the rear got a 4.09 Gear.

I think the GSL and SE models came equipped with the upgraded stereo, including the balance/fade joystick in the center armrest rear of the stick shift.

In any event- that paint job looks suspect. Anytime the locks and door handles are oversprayed leaves leaves me wondering.

Check for cancer under that pretty wide-body...

LSD came on the GSL as well.
My 85 GSL has LSD and disc brakes all around (just smaller than the se).

Does anyone else have some insight onto this car? Does it seem like a good deal I whould be going to take a look at it this weekend he said he needs to change the spark plugs because it is running slightly rough right now. He is also going to try to get me more pics. Either way when I go look at it I will take more pics as well.

Options for a GSL were 4 wheel disc brakes and IIRC, standard LSD differential.

I believe they came standard with a rear wiper and the sunroof/moonroof.
