Different types of Trek 3500s?

I'm looking to offload an old Trek 3500 at the moment, but researching for the ad I noticed that the images I'm seeing online look different to the the one in my back garden. The trek website has this one - http://www.trekbikes.com/us/en/bikes/mountain/sport/3_series/3500/ - which has suspension & stuff, but the one I have (16" frame) just has regular forks.

I don't want to misdescribe it in the ad, so can anyone advise if there were different versions, or if the suspension was only added after a certain year, or what?

The bike has a pretty clear 3500 up the back of the frame, so it's definitely a 3500.

Thanks,

Does your bike look anything like this one?

It appears, that the last year, that the 3500 was made with rigid forks was 2009.
The 3500 was reintroduced in 2011 with suspension forks.

That's not quite it, but I reckon it must be one of the 2009 or earlier ones alright.

Thanks,
