(Anyone notice the car also lacks a sunroof?)
It's a 1992. Actually, all of the numbers appear to reinforce what the seller is claiming, except for the eighth digit. It should be a 2, 4, or 5 (indicative of doors, so really should be a 4) but is instead a "0." That error in transcribing, of course, makes me question that everything else was done right, though really only the year model is something that might be deliberately changed.
I'd say this car is definitely a Bad Buy. I noticed the clock/tach thing too (claims to have a tach, but really only the giant dummy clock in the dash). The 1992 GL should have special alloy wheels. There's a little too much uncertainty here for my liking.
However, the 140/240 Model FAQ says that the 1992 240 GLs *did* have the '86-style grille, which I presume is one with the chrome trim like my 1989 GL. Also, it looks like there's a switch on the dash to heat the side mirrors, so that equipment is present.
This auction really puzzles me. Clearly deception is present, as the car obviously doesn't have a sunroof, which anyone can see. Also, none of the 240s had tilt steering, and this one doesn't have a tach, despite what the seller claims. The car, independent of the seller, should also have the alloy wheels and a few other attributes of GLs. It's definitely not worth buying from a seller like that.
I just can't get over the lack of a sunroof!
