Is there a chassis code system?

Hello forum people,

I'm trying to buy an 86 from Toyota Jamaica and having tremendous difficulty. They have a reputation for being difficult. They are the only dealer in the country and toyotas sell themselves so they don't have to try. If I could I would buy something else but there is nothing comparable at this price point, maybe a used s2000
The sales people don't know what available options are. It appears to be similar to what is available to australia but I don't want to assume. Is there a chassis code I could look at to know the options on the vehicle? I am particularly concerned about to LSD, I am not buying the car without it!

anyone with inside info please help

The automatic aussie GT86 doesn't come with a LSD.

You might want to post this so others with the GT86 and not the US FR-S owners can help you.

No, the LSD is available if the paddle shifter is available, the standard grade auto 86 don't have the paddle shifter and LSD.
