Hello All:
I just picked up my 04 Suzuka Blue S2000 yesterday. I have been checking out this forum before I made my purchase decision, but now that I am an owner, I am officially a registered member. On the advice of you folks here I drove both the AP1 and AP2 to see for myself what was best for me. I found an 03 with 38k miles that was very clean. It was Gray with the S2000 badges removed. It had a K&N FIPK on it and and sounded awesome! I was ready to pull the trigger on that at $12,900. But then I found the Suzuka Blue 04 that was mint with only 7200 miles. I also has all the paperwork (factory papers window sticker etc) and stuff from day one. The extra keys still have the sleeves on them. The tonneau cover still is in plastic. It has all the maintenance records (LOL not many in 7200 miles). The gentleman who owned was a retired airline pilot and even had a log of every gas fill up since day one. I don't think it ever saw rain. The inside of the fender wells were even clean! I ended up working a deal on the 04 for $16,000. That may be high for an 04 but given the condition, I am very happy with the deal.
It was a hard decision between the AP1 and the AP2. I wanted both! I can see the appeal of both. In the end for me the low mile car seemed like the one that will cost me less in the long run. Plus I am am having a new car experience without the dubious joy of the new car dealership process.

Hey Guys,
Im a rank amateur to all this but picked up my S2k a couple of months ago and this site looked like it could be pretty helpful. Interested a bit in tuning, more so into my ICE, non flashy however. Hit my full 12 points last week so could just be looking at the car for a while, and not driving it. Nice meeting you all anyway.

Hey all, just got a 2007 S2000, grand prix white with red-black interior, it was pretty much a hammy down from my older bro (best hammy down ever!!!!) since he got a 2010 Toyota Tacoma and it didn't come at a better time since my 2002 Eclipse Spyder GT was wrecked. Well I was never really into modding cars but now I'm going to make it my hobby, fun way to keep myself occupied and the more you know whats in your car and the things you put in it then the more you'll be able to take care of your car in the long-run (S2K from hell video was a big inspiration haha). So all be on the forums often asking questions and learning and if anyone is down in Cali SD, hit me up to chill.
