Theoratically I could find a loaded base model slap some junk yard grand am/ls rims on it and it should value at the same amount? Again thank you for your information now I know what I'm looking for when comparing the two. Hopefully I can find another 6-10 year old Lumina with low miles and pick it up for under $3500.00

But then again if I buy under 130,000 miles that just means eventually I'll have to do the intake manifold and head Gasket's my self :-)
Still like the 3.1 though.
Could be about the suspension. I checked the code on mine a while back, and it was the soft suspension, FE1 I think. Yeah, there doesn't seem to be a real clear line between an LS and a well appointed base model. I put the spoiler on mine that the LTZ models came with, and removed the pinstriping. Gave it a better look in my opinion. Less like Grandma's car. I may black out the rear panel and blur the line even more.
