The only other S2k I see regularly besides my own in Brooklyn is a silver/red that often parks on 7th ave and Carroll in Park Slope. Maybe this was the one you saw, or maybe this is you. The guy actually came up to me on the street to talk one day back in July or August while I was at a stoplight.

Actually, now that I think about it- on Thursday I was on 278W towards SI, but it was around 6:30pm. I got off at the 86th street exit (going to a free dinner at ArriRang!)

I went to all dealerships throughout brooklyn, staten island and longisland. I found a dealership in long island (South Shore Honda) that was willing to sell it to me at 31,500 but they only had yellow and silver/blk left. I wanted silver/red. So I went to Staten Island Honda and told them to match the price. The salesperson originally said NO WAY! But I went back and spoke to the manager directly and he finally matched it.

I have 4,300 miles on it and I am bringing it for service this weekend. The manual says to bring it in on normal conditions at 7,000 miles. Under harsh conditions (like everyday city driving) its says 3,750 miles.

hi alexis... i recall sending you email several months back about whether or not you had gotten the s2k. glad you're doing well with it...

the first scheduled maintenance/oil change i believe is around 3600-3700 miles or so. check the boards under a search, but don't wait til 7000. don't do it in manhattan... there are places in queens that can probably do it while you wait.

good luck!

All he has to do is an oil and filter change with that mileage. Do it yourself or buy the filter and take it to a shop no need to go out of your way looking for a good Honda dealer.
