Hi all -

My name is Tyler, I from Connecticut, I just picked up an 05 S2000 yesterday and was looking for a good forum to join. Just wanted to say Hi and post up the pics of the car.

Sticker price was 22,850 for the car. Had a trade in for 2500 and put 1000 down. will be paying 514 a month for this thing

Why are you paying that much? How long is your loan term? That's quite a bit to pay monthly. Anyway, welcome to a great forum

Cool thanks, I did not know what one to pick. I was thinking Monza Red would be a bit duller than what I have....

My loan term is 6 year at 12% Financing - because I have not had credit for long enough period of time.

So, after my first bill I plan on bringing it to my Credit Union and having them refinance for me.

Yeah, it really shouldn't be that much money. Sounds like the dealer did something screwy.

Yea, It is alot.. I meant to say "I have not had credit long enough" up there.

Also - my air box was really dirty with shit inside of it so i cleaned, and while taking off the air filter I found some hoses that were INSIDE the AIR FILTER, I have attached a pic... anyone know what these are? Only thing I can think of is if someone an after market on there, and just was hiding these inside the filter.
