yeh i thought GL's were the autmoatic versions of CL's.

its a tidy motor though. u could probably get one cheaper.

do you know how many miles? its probably alot if they dont mention it in the add.

Should have most of the extras being on an "H", but I reckon you could get a lot better for cheaper. Keep looking mate

If its low mileage and you can knock him down then should be a good buy.
