They're buying you a car for you not doing something?


Anyways, for that budget and mileage/MY range, I found something for under $15k. I'd probably look for a 2006+ (VSA) and, unless you're looking for certified, maybe try private sellers first.

 

The S2000 is going to be much much harder than the Camry. Please drive safely!

I don't mean to sound condescending just because you're just graduating high school, but if you want to drive fast go out on the track. The S2000 is an excellent track car. Don't bother trying anything on the street. You won't learn anything and will get yourself or someone else hurt. I'm a novice too, and my karting instructor said, "Take it slow out there. You won't learn anything if you're in the dirt all the time."

Plus, S2000 owners already get enough attention from the wrong crowd and most people think we're just a bunch of idiot boy ricers. I'd like to prove them wrong if at all possible

I thought about that a few days ago cause my parents know I would try something stupid... lol thanks for the advice, I'll drive safely and won't make the rest of the s2k community look bad!

VSA? I've been looking into certified sellers since some can offer warranties even though they can get a little pricey. I feel kind of sketchy buying a car from a private seller cause some don't tell you everything about the car, you just have to trust them with what they tell you. Does this make any sense? haha I'm typing this while I'm half awake.

 

^^ it makes sense but who's to say the dealer tells you or knows everything about the car I recently bought a s2000 and i saved about 6k because i got a great deal

 

VSA = Vehicle Stability Assist. It won't defy physics but it can be better than nothing if you push the car too far. As far as private seller vs. dealer, I've found that most dealers are much better liars if need be and individuals rarely try to pressure you to do anything. Private sellers don't have a quota to meet and the car they're selling isn't just another car. I came close to buying a mint 2003 Berlina Black AP1, almost entirely because the seller was clearly in love with the car and I had absolute faith that it had been religiously maintained. You'll never find a dealer that can give you that kind of peace of mind.

 

So I just got my s2k! 2000 nfr for $13,800
