Have been thinking of parting ways with my Limited. Bought it in Oct. '04 for $7,000 from this thread:

I just don't have the time or money to do to the car what I want, and it's discouraging. The car is in the same shape it was described as in the above thread, I just added 4,000 miles to it.
So far I've added a TA-49 turbo, 009 injectors, Turbotweak chip, Scanmaster, Centerline Telstar wheels and brand new tires, a Walbro 340 w/hotwire, Denso O2 Sensor, Accufab regulator, Marshall FP guage, right rear airbag, new front brake hoses, upgraded power steering reservoir.
Never have had a chance to take it to a track, so I won't claim any times, but the car runs great. I wouldn't hesitate to drive it cross country. I drove it home from NJ without a hiccup. There is some mild rust at the bottom of the passenger's side door. Not visible from the outside because of the chrome trim. It's been there since I bought it and hasn't gotten any worse. Car has a slight oil drip and smokes a little on cold startups... I'm guessing valve seals. Once it's running it's fine.
I've gotten alot of compliments on the car. It was repainted at some point in it's life and cleans up real nice. IMO the prep work could have been better, but it's decent. I've taken it to shows and have had alot of people checking it out. Car would come with both the stock wheels and tires and the Centerlines. If not interested in the Centerlines, I'll knock $500 off of the price.
I've put about $2,200± into the car and would like to get around half of that back out. So let's say $8,200 for everything, $7,700 without the Centerlines. I will not budge much on the price. It's not a "have to sell" situation. I just hate having it sit in the garage waiting for upgrades that I can't afford to make right now.
Thanks,
Mark
