OK, I was reading through the FAQ looking at what came with my car and now i cant figure out what model i have... my car has:
14"phonedials
power steering
doesnt have power mirrors
locking storage bins
electric sliding sunroof
Some of this stuff was only standard on the sport, some base, some luxury. was a lot of this stuff just inconsistancy or what?

 

phonedials=base

 

vin serial is 532044 should be 87 not 87.5

 

and power steering is sport

 

dude u have a base

 

hmmm, whatever it is, it sure got the **** out of everything. it has neither lightweight, nor any sort of sporty package (has power steering and no lsd).

 

=wrong.

I had an 86 Sport w/o PS and I've seen plenty of phone dial wearing FC with PS.

 

ya i know lol, so the power steering, sunroof, and storage bins came on the base? and it doesnt even show non-electric mirrors on that page

 

If it has power windows and/or Tilt wheel. I'd call it a luxury. If it doesnt then i'd call it a base

 

I guess I am just waiting for Icemark to tell me I have a base lol

 

well does it have power windows or tilt wheel?

 

no, but it has a sunroof.

 

i'd call it a base then.. cuz you have no REAL luxury unless you have the plush carpet.

 

so why would my base have all the other features?

 

PS and bins were common on base model. dont know about the sunroof. Doesnt matter what the brochure says. If you ask the dealer for somthing they WILL throw it on the car just to get a few more bucks out of the buyer. And bins are SUPER easy to add to a car that doest have them.

 

are there realy that many inconsistancies in the models? like they accidentaly cut a hole in my roof and put the sunfoor in? or maybe ran out of manual rack steering so just put power in it?

 

my base model has the same options as yours it also had AC

 

i have AC too. and im pretty sure i have the 100w stereo

 

My 88 SE had A/C, PS, a sunroof, and bins.

 

yeah i have a 200W kenwood stereo and a 1000W alpine amp and (2) 350W RMS woofers. and it still makes it a base model

 

ditto with mines.. with the 14" 4-lug "phone dial" rims.

 

my old 7 was an 87 red base with the phones of course but had a sunroof, p/s and crank windows. there is a step down though depending on the options the customer got. there is one at my work. its an 86. no bins, no sunroof, cranks windows, non tilt anything, honestly the car is in some bad shape but you get the idea.

 

That's what my dad's 86 n/a was like. Manual everything, no bins, no P/S, no nothing. COMPLETELY base.

 

Factory metal sunroof and no power mirrors means it is a 87.5-88 SE, not a base.

This is covered in the Standard and optional features thread at the top of this section.

 

but what if you have sunroof, no power mirrors and 87.0 vin
