Another tidbit of info... according to http://www.hondanews.com/ year to date sales on the S2000 are down 6.9% compared to this time last calendar year. I wonder how that plays into the equation.

I agree that it's doable. A local dealer has 3 silver/black S2000s sitting on his lot and he's aching to do a deal. They dropped their $5k mark-up without blinking, but they wouldn't give me what I wanted for my trade-in, so I walked out.

I'll probably sell my car outright and go back and talk to them. $30-31k shouldn't be a problem, though...

Maybe you can wait 'em out and they'll call back with a new offer? Good luck, man!

That's what I'm hoping for, but I'm not holding my breath. If/when I do sell my car and have cash to offer, the dealer's not gonna get as good a deal as I was willing to cut yesterday.

How sweet it would be if the 'review' by McClatchie were true. A 2003 Honda S2000R with 360HP? hehe ....

While I don't agree with the fellow blasting you, I don't think your playing field (for buying a Honda) is as level as the average persons. You stated you know a person very high up in AHM so sure it's easy for you to get a great deal! I never heard of anyone getting a new MY2000 S2000 for less than $32k unless they 1) had connections or 2) waited until very late in 2000 or 2001. In fact people on this board (or was it the old one) were calling me a lair when I said I got mine for MSRP, with no options, in August 2000!!

Agreed, and I wouldn't consider the CRX and Del Sol to be part of the same lineage. I owned a '90 CRX Si, and was deeply disappointed when I test drove a Del Sol (the 160hp VTEC version). It was quick enough, but gained too much weight and didn't handle nearly as well as my old CRX.

It would be really cool if Honda resurrected the CRX in its original low cost, lightweight spirit!
