LSD was standard on touring. It was optional for non touring. This is a great link for info. According to this, one could even have the ultimate base I30 with cloth, no sunroof, and open differential 5spd tranny just like whats in the maxima.

According to Edmunds, the Touring edition in 96 also had LSD as a standard feature:

What do you guys think about the car? Specs:
$6200 for a 96 I30T 5MT in my color preference (pearl white over black leather), all of the usual options, and 100% bone stock. 88K on the ODO, new clutch, all service records complete from a dealership. PP book is lower than that, but that does not take the rarity of the car into consideration.
For reference, my mildly modded 97 was $6500 last feb (04) with 97K on the clock, BUT 1/2 of the mods came right off, and the car had run N2O.

Personally, I'd hold out for at least book value considering that amongst regular people (Read: non-enthusiasts) an I30 with a manual transmission is probably not the easiest thing to move.
On the other hand, considering the rarity and the fact that it's your preferred color combo, it might be worth the premium to go ahead and bite now before it (possibly) gets away.

That is the arguement going through my head right now. I looked far and wide after the 97 was destroyed and found nothing closer than FL. I am very happy to pay $6000, but the guy seems pretty set @ $6200. I keep wondering if making a big deal over $200 and loosing the car will not leave me regretting my stubbornness.

If he is that subborn, then I would just cave and pay the extra $200. The car is ultra rare after all with the stick and LESS than 100K and few people can appriciate this.
Looks pretty solid. The leather, doors pannels, trim, and exterior are all good. Could use some new floor mats and a new antenna, but over all I'd jump on it.

He is also taking his time working out the deal- not rushing me into it or trying to tell me about how many other interested people he has. After we talked on the phone Sun, he emailed me last night to tell me that when he gets back from vacation, he wants to work a deal w/ me over the other prospects just because he knows that I will do right by the car.

He is a max enthusiast who bought it as an upgrade from his maxima, but now has changed priorities. He knows how rare it is, and I think is being fairly level with me on things.

BUY IT!
It needs a few things though- 97 center console, SE gauges, 350Z pedals, clear tails, Cefiros and Y pipe
and some suspension. Consider some ES bushings for $30 while you're at it. Oh yeah, a tint and a nice detailing job.
BUY IT!!
EDIT- It could also use Ben's rear mounts and a hacked air box.....

But the B&M STS was probably the best $130 I ever spent.
