I saw one of these...and it was only 2k with 80k miles....what are the specs of this ride....never seen a STE before.

I was curious about this as well so I had to look it up. Below is directly quoted from wikipedia. Seems like they would have been pretty sweet rides back in the day. Looks like they were only around for a year or 2.

"entering production on September 12 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_12), 1989 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989). The new Grand Prix STE (Special Touring Edition) had special seats, audio systems, and Driver Information Centers. The seats were 8-way pneumatic with adjustable lumbar supports. The audio systems were 8-speaker with full graphic equalizer and a "gain" slider to control bass. The Driver Information Centers were quite a step up from the more basic ones available in the SE and Turbo. In addition to the basic information that the SE LCD counterparts displayed, the STE vacuum fluorescent display (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_fluorescent_display) DICs had a full light and door monitor with icons for all the major vehicle systems. The STE also had a front and rear lightbar in addition to a trunk-panel. A turbocharged STE was also available for this year. A 2.3-liter 4-cylinder Quad 4 was also available in this model year although not a popular option".

The STE is really just a 4-door version of the GTP available in the early 90's. In other words, most have the 3.4L Twin-dual cam V6. They are also the ones with the light bar across the front grill, and tail light bar across the trunk (with amber turn signals in the squares where the brake lights usually are). Otherwise, nothing special about them.

if its the turbo im def picking it up when i get the money.



I wouldn't. While the Turbo GP's were neat, they weren't all that fast (a 90 GA with a Quad 4 HO was faster as specified in the 1990 Pontiac dealer brochure), and are real money pits when they age.

I remember way back in 92 my aunt and uncle had a white one. That was a sweeeeet ride. If I could find one now (and if I had the money to maintain it), i'd take it. I dunno about blue though.
