I'm resurrecting this thread - Do most people feel that going to a dealership for the three test is the best idea? I am looking in the riverside area at a private party s2000. About how much would these test cost, a general ball park range.

The car has 20k miles, MY07, the 2nd owner purchased it as a CPO from Honda in Utah 12/30/2011 and is flipping the car because he purchased it to resell it. The car is still covered under the bumper-to-bumper warranty til 12/30/2012 (THIS YEAR) and powertrain 12/30/2014. its very clean, except a few curb rashes and some touch up paint to the front bumper from daily driving rocks that hit the bumper. It is $26k out the door, white with red interior, fully stock, with extremely clean paint.

Well, if your considering paying roughly 6k under original sticker price for a five year old S, it better be damn near perfect.
