Okay im shopping around on autotrader picking out a few 8s to go look at this weekend:) but.... there is a problem... id like to get an idea what i will be payin so i call up the bank to have them throw some numbers at me but they need to know whether its a base, sport, touring, etc.. is there a way i can tell a difference from the physical aspects on the car in the pics bc autotrader doesnt always list what trim it is?

these are the three i am linterested in but none list what trim

My guess...

Autotrader links:

1. GT (leather, sunroof, nav)

2. Touring (sunroof, leather but no nav?)

3. Sport or Base 6MT with xenon/TCS-DSC option?

The third is just like my car which is 6MT, has DSC/TCS, xenon, but no leather/sunroof/navigation. I'm still not clear if this is base or sport.

yeah i would have to pick out the strange ones haha

:dunno: anyone else know or have any ideas?
