what exactly do you get with the SE model and is there anything special with it? i know there were LE and XLE models and i saw an SE and was curious what exactly that was. guy said it was a 92.

yeah the car was a 5 speed and a V6. the reason i ask is because im buying it this weekend. it was front ended and im going to fix it and drive it.

different rims and different suspension as well I believe...

different suspension? that'll be fun to get parts for, lol. im not a big fan of the wheels though. my xle wheels should look nice on the SE.

***Eye8Pussies*** · 09-13-2005, 05:07 PM

^ well, identical suspension design, but apparently different spring rates or something like that, and possible beefier stock sway bars....not sure if anybody's ever confirmed that for sure tho

I have the "special" Sport Cloth Seats, u got that if u didn't get leather. Some SE's came with auto. Spoiler should be standard, black panel in the back. no insulation under hood or under trunk.

i went and looked at the car today. i made a deal with the owner and im picking it up this weekend. it has 115K. the seats are really neat and striped and have speakers in the pull handle on teh door panel. also, the mirrors and door handles are factory unpainted. it is basically opitioned similar to my xle. it has a black leather steering wheel and shift knob and boot. yes, it does have the spoiler.

the car comes with all parts to fix and since my faher owns a body shop and since im a good mechanic, i really think i can have this car done and ready for my daily driving by november. car just needs a power steering pump. it whines pretty good. and yes, its good on fluid.

any tips on replacing the power steering pump? kind of a heads up before i get started.

SE received revised spring rates, stiffer dampers, a beefier rear sway bar, blackout "sports" trim, sport seats, the aforementioned insulation differences, and a quicker ratio power steering rack, unique to the SE, among other things. EPC searching reveals that the SE's mechanical bits came as an LE "Sports Package" in Canada... Can't say I've ever seen one of those.

you've never seen an SE or the LE sports package from Canada?
