Default 2001 S2k Yellow 7500miles factory body kit, mint!

The car is in perfect condition. They say its 4 months old. What do you think its worth from a Honda dealer. I live in Honoulu. Im having a tough time budging the sales manager past $32,800 plus fees and taxes. I offered him $30,000 out the door. Do you think thats reasonable offer? Or too low? Thanks!!!!!

By the way hes tells me the Kelly blue book retail is 38,000
Which is a more accurate price of a vehicle NADA or KBB? Kelly is way too high, its ridiculous. Thanks

Well it's NADA KBB that's for sure. I really think you ought to give this a bit of thought. You can buy a new one for 32K KBB is a joke.

What does "mint" mean? It's practically new. Mint may apply to a car that's a few years old but...

Send a PM to Colin, I'm sure he can get you fixed up with a brand new '02 model for the same price with 0 miles.

My advice, say "no thanks".

The expression 'out the door' means inclusive of all fees and taxes - in other words the dealer would have to sell you the car for ~$28k to get an out the door price of $30k.

$30k plus tax and fees is probably a reasonable price. However, a 2002 (if you can get it for MSRP) would be a better bet IMHO.

The NADA Guide is more accurate than KBB, I think. Go to: http://www.nadaguides.com/

if you are willing to pay $30K for a used S2K, why not spend $2-3K more and get a brand new S2K with 0 miles and with all the added equipment?

That's what I did. I don't know if this is feasible to do that in Hawaii though.

Good Luck.

I would not pay MSRP for a used car. Either get a enw one or offer$28M. there was a brand new one in the Times for $29,900 a 01 . I think you can get a deal with the new models out and production increasing.
