Is it a GTU GXL or SE

My car doesnt have any markings to tell me what model.......1988 its 5 speed power everthing moonroof....shock adjustment from inside.....and most of the bells and whistles I guess. I heard that for an N/A 7 the SE is best but dont remember for what reason.....is it a good car to build on or should I sell it and look else where. I got an incredible deal from a friend and dont want to see it go.

I think you have a GXL.

ppl think the SE is better with respect to weight. Its the lightest of the group you mention (I think, I dont have facts on this).

It all depends on what you want. Then the trim becomes the best for you. I like power features, the GXL is best for me.

Ya, mine is fine. My friend did it the same way and his is a little harder to turn though. Either way, you get used to it and our cars aren't so big or heavy so its not bad at all.
