GXE, SE or GLE??? i always thought it was a GXE but my insurance card says its a GLE. so i then checked the title, it said MGS. Here is what i have...

-1997
-White with black leather
-Steel wheels/hub caps
-spoiler
-NO fogs
-NO GLE badge
-NO power seats
-NO climate control
-5-speed
-Bose..dunno. i bought the car with an aftermarket stereo
-black gauge cluster

isnt it a GXE? is it common that insurance companies mess up on trim levels? well, if it is a GXE, better resale value with GLE.

ALL GLEs had power drivers seats, Bose, auto trannys, alloys, and auto climate control. The GLE badges didn't get added to '99 I think.

If your door handles are chrome it's a GXE if they are body coloured it's an SE. But it is looking like a GXE due to the guage colour, who would want to loose those beautiful whites?

You should also be able to check the VIN with a local dealer.

It's a GXE, get it corrected with insurance co asap, might save on premium.

Its a GXE...my neighbors have the same thing...a GXE with leather...theirs is a 98 though. I think in '97-'98 leather was an option on the GXE.
