A friend bought a used 2001 Civic LE and is concerned it doesn't say
"LE" on the back. The manual doesn't mention a model either, just
"2001 Civic".

I can't believe the dealer would lie about this, but is there a
reference anywhere that shows what the different levels had?

Thanks!

he would need to use the vin to identify this model.

LE? LX, maybe.

Go here:
http://www.carfax.com/
Type in the VIN into the little box at the top right. This will confirm
what model you've actually got.

Don't be alarmed by the reports of "records" on your car. That's a ploy to
get you to order the report.

I got the report for my car and one of the "records" was "one owner".
Well, duh. I AM the original owner. And it didn't mention the fender-bender
I was in 3½ years ago.

Thanks. Is there a place online to do that? It's in Quebec.

I'm surprised there's no way to tell from the difference in features
(like CD player or heated wing mirrors), were there non-visible
differences as well?

I'm sure she said "LE". It has a CD player and heated wing mirrors,
those are the things I remember (wasn't in it, just admiring it).
It's in Montreal BTW.

Thanks for the advice!

I'm pretty sure she said LE. Thanks for the reply and I'll follow up
on the various advice I got.

Does this mean there was no LE?

Thanks!

I guess there was no LE. Found this review online.

I'm surprised the LE wouldn't have an "LE" on the trunk though.
