Ummm...$6,000 for a BASE model? Haha...I bought my GSL for $500 (yes, five hundred). My Dad got his GSL-SE for $1000. I got my 83 GSL for free, and we got the 84 GS parts car for $25 and a 6-pack...I think that 6K is WAY WAY WAY too much for that car...No LSD, no sunroof, no nothing...Just my opinion though

If you weren't in PA I would sell you mine for about 1200-1300! Mine looks just as nice except it has a stereo and a ripped drivers seat! Eeesh!

WAAAAY too much. I paid less than $3,000 USD for my GSL-SE (top auf der line mit der bigger engine, etc) and it was extremely straight, near mint interior, both sunroofs, factory manual, etc.
