I think that the Hemmings article forgot to metion that the tii model will appreciate more than a carb version, especially round lite models!! I read a similar article in the New York Times 2 1/2 years ago that singled out the 2002tii as a sleeper collectible. As a certified appraiser, car dealer and avid eBay watcher i can see these cars appreciating significantly. I have sold 2 tii's in the last 16 months, and both were above $10,000
