dont give up. there are several people in this area that got the car for below msrp.. do a search on this forum.

I got my car at MSRP in the end of year 2000. Had to order the car around summer fall of 2000 and it was a 2001 model..

It is now 2002 3rd quarter.. you can definatley go below msrp now.

btw its non of my business but do you really want to let $15k sit in a car as your down payment when loan interest rates are so low now?

If you mean put less money down and finance more, I don't want my monthly payment to be astronomical. Anyway, I can afford it.

John,

if you are hellbent on paying under sticker... buy from that guy in South Dakota, fly out and drive it home.... i think he is selling for $31k or so.... you save $2k.... spend $500 in airfare and lodging and drive it home..... or have it shipped for $500 and you are still ahead by $1500.

Goodluck....Scot

o ya... get a haircut

i definately think you can get one for lot below under MSRP. Out the door my price was $32,000 including tax, tags and freight plus
extra wind diffuser (which I sold for $100)
4 yrs oil change
1 jacket (that i need to drop off to Mike)
2 hats (that I am giving away)

so it actually ended up costing me 31,900 out the door...
if i were you, i would pick up a used s2000 2002 model year for less than 30k and use the rest of the money for mod or vacation in the s2k.
my 2 cents.

John,

I didn't shop the car intensively but got quotes from MSRP to $2,000 over MSRP (Jim Coleman). I bought the black one at Pohanka from Mustafa Taha this afternoon. It was actually only offered via Ebay Motors. I'm not sure it was a great deal, but I wasn't in the mood to shop and be patient. Ironically, black was my fourth choice but since I'm not that picky about colors (I usually get tired of my car's color within a month anyhow) and will concentrate on the view from the inside. If you end up finding and buying a silver/black or susuka blue/black, we should consider meeting to trade 'em. Good luck.

I recommend you do bargain heavily on this car. Don't pay MSRP! I would say 30K is a fair price for this car. Dealers are full of it. I just sold my 01 for 29K but it took me a long time to do so. I had paid 33200 delivered last April 01. Overall I lost about 6K with interest. My car only had 6k miles and was in mint condition. That's allot of money to lose in a year on a car. Good Luck!

Andy,

It's driving fine. I've been making up lame excuses to take it out for a drive every night. I'm also finding it difficult to keep my foot out of it during break-in.

John
