Hi everyone,

i have been on the site since november last yr looking at a s2000, and after endless searching i finally landed a deal today !!!

just to make it short, i had looked at probably 5+ s2000s and for the ones that i was closed on making the deal but for most of them called me say 30 minutes before my appointment or when i was on the way to look at the car that the s2000 was sold or they are holding it.

Including this deal when i was going in to sign the papers last weekend and they rejected my offer suddenly saying they couldn't do it. I thought man, maybe it's just not meant to be
i almost gave up since summer was closing in and it was pretty much impossible to get the deal i was looking for. however, i got a call this morning and said they were willing to go lower but not at my last offer, but then i told them i would only deal at that and they replied in 1 hr saying they are willing to match edmunds which was my last offer, so went and picked it up.

i also purchased warranty for the peace of mind.

man, couldnt believe it's actually sitting on my driveway!

since it is my first stick and rwd , anyone got tips for me as a beginner? again, im not looking to race or anything, just gona cruise but no tc is scaring me a little bit.

below's a pic

Traction control is overrated

Seriously though...just don't be stupid. This car can be very dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. Learn how to properly drive before you decide to bang gears and race every Mustang on the road.
