Talking Been here awhile, but new owner!

After the last year and a half of wanting one, I finally got my S! I got an amazing deal on a 2001 NFR with only 42K mi and a clean history. Car is in perfect shape!

I found it on cars.com, flew out to Dallas yesterday morning to get it, and had a 13.5 hour drive home yesterday! But I enjoyed it Even had a few people try to race me last night on my way home.

Oh, and don't worry, I am already checking the oil at almost every fillup! But after wanting one of these for so long, it is amazing to finally drive it and enjoy it. BTW, it is my daily driver!

Thanks! All I have to say is that it is WELL worth the wait. I've had a huge grin on my face everytime I taken her out for a drive!

I'm biased, but I would say go for an AP1. I love the raw, completely unrefined nature of the first generation S2k's. Plus they have the F20C

Other than that, search, check the FAQ's, and testdrive each! Good luck!

Congrats! Welcome to ownership, Craigers!

You probably know this already, but keep an eye on the dipstick at every fillup.

Glad you enjoyed your ride home. The fun is just beginning!

How much did you pay for your car if you don't mind me asking?
