First welcome to the site second the LX has power windows door locks wheelcovers the SE is basically an LX with a sunroof and wheels and the EX adds a 6 disc in dash changer ( 01-02 models) different wheels and rear disc brakes that was the short and sweet version. If I were you I would go for the EX thats my opinion but all in all dont jump on the first car you see be patient and shop around good luck, what part of Maryland are you in Im in Bowie.
