What's the SL have over Base?

Ok...as you better know by now i'm going to get a SL then in a year i'll sell my half of the SL to my dad then the SL will be my dads.Then i'll get a VR-4.

Here's wad up.I was looking in a car (sorta like autotrader, its called "Wheels For You") and i saw a 95 3000GT in it.Red, auto, looked pretty nice.So i called the guy and found out its a base.But...its only $4444 and i think i can talk him in to lowering the price even more.So yesterday i went to go look at it and other then 2 or 3 dings and somelittle on the exterior and a smoke burn on the passenger's seat and a hole on the driver's seat it wasn't to bad.It does have the DOHC engine (6G72) but no leater, one thing i really wanted.But for $4444...thats pretty cheap.So if i'm only going to have it for a year should i just get that then in a year get my VR-4?Or should i want to find a SL?I might add the dealer was sick and he is the only one who run's the place so i didn't drive it...but we called him again and told him that we would like to drive it so he said come down saturday.

So...should i just get it if it drives ok?

What does the SL have that the base doesn't besides leater, cd player and the heat contolls...oh yea...and a sunroof?To me this sounds like a good deal.Tell me what you think and what i should do.Thanks everone.

The base has everything the Sl has except a few minor things. No leather, anti-lock brakes, sunroof, or the digital heat controller. They are pretty much the exact same car. Anyone that tells you different is on crack.

Thats a great price for a 3000GT, the only thing the SL really has over the base models is extra features like Leather seats, sunroof, cd changer, infinity 6 speaker system, etc. The base model is just fine, there is no power difference in the two. I think if its been taken care of and you get it checked thorougly with no major problems, you should definitely get it.

If you can live without leather and a sunroof for a year then get the base.

Your 1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 is the 92nd out of the 315 that were made that year. Only 21 of which are exactly identical.

The base does have the 6 infinity speaker system and the cd-changer.

I thought we discussed this some time ago. The base model had 164 hp during a couple model years (97-99) as well as smaller rims then the SL.
