Default im back

hey im back ive been without a computer for about 2 months now and it sucked. still no luck on finding a S2. i take that back i found 2 in auto trader one was a rebuild title and the other one was black with a competition clutch. both had low miles. the one with the rebuild title had a carbon hood and a gp sports body kit like my red one but i kinda want to start from scratch. which would you choose??????

no rebuild title unless its a parts car or a track car that your are going to strip down and reinforce with a full cage and basically start from scratch knowing that that all the safety is back in the car.

I see used S's everywhere, you need me to point them out to you let me know.

go with the safe car with the clutch

My 2 cents.

Yeah, it's going to be a little tougher this time of year to find the best deal on one since it's getting towards summer. Best bet (if you can hold out) is keep searching and saving until the end of the summer and nail down a great "end of model year" deal.

www.autotrader.com is a GREAT starting resource.

Hope you don't get what you pay for and have to put more money in the car in the long run.

Best advice is find a private seller. car lots are going to be more expensive almost everytime compared to private sellers.

Also have cash ready to go. if your budget is 12K then have it in pocket ready to go. You show a person, asking 14-15Kfor a car, 12K in cash...they will probably buckle unless they have too much money invested or financed into the car.

Like the old saying goes........................Cash Talks
