Well I checked the 95 out and drove it for about 5 mins. The car is AWD
so it must be a LSi. No sunroof, I guess that was optional and left out.
It has a tape and cd player in it from stock. The air conditioning works
fine. Doors have good electric locks. The rest like windows I didn't try.
The seller explained everything works. I was pressed for time while there
so not much testing done. I am at this point only concerned with the
engine. No strange noises noticed yet. I wish one of you was here helping
since you all know about this car.

The imperfections to it so far was a small indention only noticeable if you
were at the right angle on the passenger side and a small rip in the driver
seat. All that is nothing un repairable.

The bad thing is it stalled a few times when I was turning and I had to
manually put it in 1st, then 2nd, and 3rd. I have some thoughts and if it
shifted well manually than there shouldn't be anything wrong with the
transmission. Plus there is a button for manual or automatic shifting on the
handle so possibly it was pushed in by mistake and I didn't know. I mean
I did shift it and it worked I am not sure if it would have shifted without
the button pressed. I droven many cars that can shift to first and second
without any button pressed, but this was the sellers reason for it happening.
It ran very well and picked up good at times so maybe that was it.

I need more time to drive it and somewhere not in the city. The owner also
said it might be the transmission line wasn't corrected properly and would
have his mechanic look at it in the mourning. Smoke came from the engine
after parked, but he said it was just where the fluid dropped on it while in
the shop.

I am not sure about it yet. Doesn't this thing require premium gas as
opposed to regular or can I use either? I am going to check it out again
tomorrow after I get off from work.

What does LSi mean?
