Default Getting an S2K!

New to the S2k community.

Well after months after selling my car, thinking what car to get, a 90's or 00's, getting ripped off on a bad car deal , having no car for months, not being able to buy myself nice things due to saving, and bugging my parents to let me burrow their car I have finally decided to get an S2K!

I have owned two Z32's n/a and an MKII n/a and my original plan was to get an MKII turbo but then I decided that Im going to need a more newer and updated car. I have been looking at different cars 350Z, WRX, IS300, RSX, Audi TT, and 05+ Mustang since I work at a Ford dealer. After owning 3 RWD coupe's, and as much as I love my job and company I just cant see myself in am american car no offense , I narrowed it down to a RWD either a 350Z or S2K. Since its going to be my DD I need something reliable, with good mpg, and fun. The s2k is all that and more plus is sexy as hell and the company that I work for also owns a Honda dealer so parts are gonna be cheaper.

Now I have to find one at a good price, with good mileage, and in either spa yellow or GPW. I have $3k for a down payment and hopefully by the end of the month Ill have $4k.

My budget is $17k and wanted to know if you guys can give me any tips so I can get the best deal and what to look for. Also how much would insurance be? Im 21 with not tickets or accidents. If its too high then Im just going to put it on my moms name hehe

Sorry if its a lil long but just excited to be a future s2k owner.
