My Mom also had one. She ordered one when they were announced. She got one of the first batch to hit NJ. The dealer she ordered it from didn't even try to get extra dollars for it. Within a few weeks of her getting it, dealers were asking 1500-2000 over MSRP.
About 4 months after she bought it, DOW gave her a company car and she offered it to me. I had my eye on a 2002Tii and passed on it. She offered it to me for what she paid, and I stupidly turned it down.
I ended up selling it for her (at a 1200 dollar profit) which she let me keep. I must have gotten 120 phone calls from the add I placed. They were in such high demand when first introduced. Plus then they were only made in Japan, so there was a long wait for orders
