this might sound a bit crazy, but i was sure this car was an SE at first...but now im not so sure. it has no badges on it at all so thats no help, the antenna seems to have been removed from the car, and as far as standard features of an SE vs a base model im at a loss too. power door locks, cruise control, etc are all options for the base and standard on the SE. the stereo could tell me (cassette vs CD) but it has an aftermarket headunit. so i guess what i am asking is, is there any way to tell whether this car is an SE or not by the VIN number or some other means? i know some car companys have all of that info in the VIN number such as camaro Z28s (has Z28 in their vin number) and the trans am ram airs (also known as a WS6 because WS6 is in all of their vin numbers). this really isnt a big deal, but i would still like to know. thanks

A search will turn up a VIN code reader.

Also sunroof, spoiler, and 5 lug are usually signs of SE.

quick easy way to tell if its an se, 5 lug and white gauges. i have never seen a base model with those. i have seen a base model with power locks, sun roof, tilt wheel, power antenna, interior trunk pop handle.

other things to look for to see if its an se. adjustable window wiper speed, seat patterns, fog lights, factory rear sway bar. there are some other things i forgot... but its really hard to tell cause almost no two are alike.

lol, if you remove all aspects of an SE i don't think the car is qualified to be an SE anymore... even if it was before.
