Default Future S2K Owner!

Hey everyone!

I'm looking at a 2004 S2K with 54000 miles on it after work today. I figured this is the best place to go for advice.

The car is going for $18.5k. How does this price sound for a 2004 with 54k miles? The car is in great shape, had 1 owner, and was garage kept. I'll be trading in my 2010 Lancer GTS so hopefully that should take care of a lot of the cost.

Also, I'm 6'4". I was reading around the forums and I got mixed answers as to whether I would fit comfortably. I suppose 'comfortable' is a broad opinion.

Thanks for any input! Hopefully I'll be an official owner soon.

I can see your knees hitting the steering wheel.

First mod: steering wheel. 18.5k is kinda high, try and negotiate.

you mentioned trading your car, so i assume your getting it from a dealer. have them chop the price down by 1k to 2k as for your height, try to drive it, or even just sit on it for 15-30 mins, press clutch, change gear; if your comfy cool... bottomline, if your happy with the drive, take it... and enjoy

yes, it is at a dealer. There is a 2004 350Z roadster convertible with 20k miles going for the same price at a dealer close by, so maybe that will persuade them to drop the price

Price seems a little high. Good luck with your decision.
