Hi everyone,

I test drove a 240 a few days ago and it was love at first sight. I'm currently still looking around but I've came across a few different models...

Does anyone know what's the difference between the GLE and GLT?

Basically, I'm looking for a 1993 240 4-door with a 5-speed manual transmission (with sunroof).

Do they even exist, and how do I find out about such information?

The Volvo website doesn't help, and Wikipedia isn't of much use as well.

GLE is top of the line equipment, GLT is turbo, no 5 speed - only four speed + overdrive and 4 doors stop at 1992 - only wagons in 1993. I might be wrong on all of these - but its a start.

Thanks :)

I'm actually looking for a turbo version, but I sort of gave up after I came across some sources that stated the turbo edition stopped in the mid 80's... :(

Hmm; wonder if the suffix's have different meanings internationally.
In the UK the GLT was just fuel injected, no turbo.
GLT was also higher spec' than the GLE.
