Default Taking delivery next week

Hi,

I am super excited about picking up my Imola Orange S2000 next week. I have owned many cars in the past (i.e., C280sport, 540i, RX8, TSX, X3, WRX), but the anticipation of having my own S2000 makes it difficult for me to concentrate on work.

How about sharing my purchasing experience?

I was on call the night before. Usually, I would just go home to catch up my sleep, but for some odd reason, I stopped by a local Honda dealership and so happened a brand new "IMOLA ORANGE" S2K was sitting in the showroom. I could not believe my eyes as this unique color is hard to come by. The dealer said, there's only 10 in Canada for the year 2007. My impulsivity kicked in..traded in my 06 WRX..sucked up some losses for terminating the lease early.

Well...here I am..only 72 hours away from having my first convertible, but definitely not the last one. Promised my fiance that I won't mod this one, but I have already looking into getting Compustar 2-way alarm, audio upgrade, and maybe some Mugen parts down the road LOL.

Cheers, D

It can have that effect On a summer day, I still can't wait to leave the office and drive! Welcome to the site. Hope everything goes smoothly for ya. I'm curious, did you purchase it without ever test driving one?

Hey..thx for the welcome note. I test drove one 3 years ago. But the time was not right. Ever since, I always wanted one. I delayed my purchase for this long b/c I want an unique color. And the color that I've always wanted is Imola Orange. I really do believe everything happens for a reason.

Take care, D
