Default $29,000 for a 2003

I was down at Searamonte Honda Yesterday and test-drove a '03 Silverstone/blk. Great car, nice tight feel. Defiantly slower than my Integra, but that can easily change with a few future upgrades.

Anyway, I was quoted $29,000 before tax and license on it. How do you think that sounds? I wanna try to work 'em down to $29,000 out the door but that's a long shot. By any chance, would anyone know what invoice on the 2003's are? My uncle is a Porsche salesman and he says I should get the car somewhere between Invoice and msrp. But $29,000 still seems kinda high.

Grace Honda in San Bruno does have a '01 for $26,900 with 13K but I'm really if'y about that one due to all the problems I've been hearing about the 2000-2001. What do you guys think?

So you test drove a brand new S2000 and pushed it to 9000RPM?

I'm pretty sure $29K brand new is almost unheard of in the Bay Area. You better jump on that.

15- 20 more ft-lb makes that much difference?


BTW, $29,000 + tax is a good deal.

Well yeah. You gotta remember my Integra is a little lighter than an S2 plus my car is Supercharged so that means, 150 ft/tq at 2000 rpm. So I'm used to having power on demand. S2's don't really start moving until about 6000+
