Help me decide, should i settle for less?
Basicly, here is my delima. I have wanted to get into an S for about 2 years now, I am finally able to afford one comfortably (as in not go broke owning it/make payments)
A friend of mine has a MY01 white w/ red interior s2000 about 60k on it, clean title needs 2 airbags he bought it from auction but the lady at DMV screwed up and he ended up with a clean WA title. He wants $13,000 I know he drives the car hard sometimes (races every now and then and donuts sometimes)
A local honda dealership has a MY01 yellow w/ black interior s2000 with 50k on it, of course clean title everything is pretty much flawless and brand new since from dealership.. they want $20,000 out the door.
I can't decide. My ideal colour for S2k would be yellow but for that I will need to wait about another two months (pay off completly no financing) and with that one I know everything is going to be flawless on it, white is also attractive especially with the red interior however I never pictured my self in a white s2k.. Yellow/Silverstone/Black
Your advice/opinions are greatly appreciated, my main concern is if I skimp and just buy my buddys I will run into problems and most of all not be happy with it wishing I got the colour I wanted. This is my first "NEW" car I've owned a few ITR's and other misc. integras

What is the exact price difference? Do both prices include TTL so they're comparable? If the price difference really is $7k, that's crazy.
If you're set on buying a yellow car and that's what's going to make you happy, then wait and find a yellow car...seriously. You don't want to drive down the street, see a yellow one, and wish that you bought that one instead of what you actually bought.
For major purchases like a car, I'm a true believer in buying what you want, not what is pretty good since it's cheaper.
Keep looking for private party 01's in the 18k range.
