TR Limiteds, rarity and price
Years ago I had a conversation with Dennis Kirban about TR Limiteds. He was inquiring about mine to find out some specs on badge palcement, as he knew I had a fairly Low mile and likely unmolested one. He mentioned the possibility of the color being a significant factor in rarity. He thought the yellow ones were extremely rare. He mentioned the possibility that black TRs were not produced at the same time as the WE-4. Making the black 87 TRs somewhat rare. He also stated that even though the "Astro-Roof" is a seldom seen option, he thought the leather seating might be as or even rarer, and might be easier to research. I believe he mentioned that the production numbers for these options might include NA Limiteds as well. He suspected that Canada may have been the reciepient of a disportional amount of these models. He suggested that the options codes on the inside of the trunk lid might be a place to start for comparison. I talked to Rich Lasseter about my Limited, after he had published mention of the most optioned GN in the G.S.E.X. (That one had an "Astro-Roof".) I believe the sticker price was around 19,240 (aprox). My original sticker was 19,150 including a 200 "Value Package" credit. So that particular GN was a more expensive car. I mentioned the fact that my car didn't have power seats. He said it was common to not have power seats packaged with the "Astro-Roof" due to headroom considerations. I would be interested to hear from other Limited owners about their orig sticker price as well as options and colors.
