Default hey, soon to be s2k owner here..

Hi, I've been through so many hondas I've had an EK with CTR swap, EG with B18b and turbo, GSR integra, another EG, and now I'm into another DC wich i'm about to be selling...

Local dealership told me they can get me a yellow s2k, MY01 with 50k on it, 18k out the door I am pretty tempted to do it but there is a silver one that they said 20k out the door with only 23k on it silver one has red interior and is the silverstone metallic, any help deciding? I am debating selling my 03 CBR 600 to help pay for the s2k...

Oh yeah, Hi!

Go with your heart on the choice. To some people the color makes all the difference. To others a good deal is the way to go. Just my $.02.

BTW - Welcome aboard.

Everything else being eqaul...like condition of paint etc, I'd spend the $1k extra and be nearly 30k miles to the good.

that's what I was thinking spending 1k more isn't really that much of a problem but I really wanted yellow, I had an integra I painted silverstone metallic it looked cool but on s2k I wanted more of a sporty colour... :/

Honestly, I would go with the one with 30k miles. If it looks like it has 20k less miles than for me it would be worth it. Color can always be changed but I mean the condition of the car is more important. If the one with 50 looks like its in perfect condition and you can't live without yellow than go for it. Most of the time if not all a car with less miles will always be better than one with more miles.
