Thumbs down Looking for an S2K...

Hey everyone! I just sold my 05' STi and am getting ready to buy an s2k this month. I had an ITR before my STi but it was stolen. I can't wait to get back into a honda!! I haven't had the best of luck finding one though (I live in Colorado). And I am still trying to decide what color...

So far what I have found is:

03' Spa Yellow w/ 65k for $16,995

03' Suzuka Blue w/ 46k for $17,995

02' Berlina Black w/ 16k for $16,990


I am trying to find an 02-03 preferably with one owner and decent mileage. I've heard about the improvement in the oil jets from late 02-03 but not sure if it is worth strictly going with the 03 or not? Anyway, any advice on what I have found so far, the 02-03 oil jet difference, and if you know of any good deals is appreciated!

Thanks!

I'd go with the suzuka looking at those prices and mileage

the berlina doesn't have enough miles on it in my opinion......i would be checking for dry rot on boots and seals on it. Just looks like it sat to long.

46k miles and $14,400 looks like a deal to me

Yeah that what I was thinking.. But I called the people with the suzuka today and they raised the price from 14,400 to 17,995 saying it was an error in autotrader.. damnit

So Idk what to do now.....

I'd take a look at all three, as far as color I'd probably pick spa yellow. Good luck!

Yeah it is hard also because the spa yellow is in kansas, the suzuka is in phoenix, and the berlina is actually local here in denver.. is the difference in the 02 and 03 really a big deal with the oil jets? because as far as i could tell there are not any other differences between 02-03...

I know I said I am looking for an 03.. or possibly an 02..

But what do you guys think about a 00's GPW with red with only 14k miles?

I love it. Trust me I was looking for a late-model ap1 too because of the extras, that all went out the window when I got MY00 Silverstone with red interior. GPW is a rare color to have and definitely my favorite.
