Most like it is an LX, possibly an upgraded DX (base model).

Looks very nice, I'm sure it's probably never seen rain ever.

If you have power options its an LX, if not its a DX

It has the LXI console, hes not from the USA either. Who knows what it is. Does it say on the title? Or the Registration. Or do a free VIN check on carfax that will tell you what it is.

How do you get a free VIN check on carfax? I havent been there lately but the last time I knew you have to pay for it.

well it is just a check to see if there is any info on your car, you have to pay to find out what it is. But it will tell you the model and stuff.

He's from the UAE, which is right next door to Saudi Arabia. It has all those nice LX/LX-i power options and the DX bumpers. Probably an LX.

in europe, there weren't any 88-89 bumpers. Every 3G overseas had 86-87 bumpers.
in your case, it looks like DX model with some options upgraded such as power windows and probably power locks.

hmm, i was thinking a realy easy way to find out what year it is would be to look at the stamp plate on the door jam. thats what i would do. although, mine says it was made in 1986, but was sold as a 1987. oh yeah, i forgot to say it doesnt say when it was sold, just that my grandma bought it in november 1987. also, my stamp plate says what month it was made in.

Well I've got a question then......
Mine is a 88 LX & has no power options what so ever. So why couldn't this be a LX too then?

Automatic accessories, with a manual transmission.

Gee, that was hard to figure out :rolleyes:
