I personally hate having to guess what the previous owner did to the car and how it was maintained no matter how known this is.

I say go new if you can drop a heavy down payment (aka trade in)

Used. I owned two used S2000's and they were both perfect. Never had any problems with either one. And my second one had a SC when I bought it and was owned by a 20 year old.

used. considering how much a car depreciates in its first year, it surprises me how often people buy new cars. especially when you can get a an 06 with less than 15k miles or an 07 with almost no miles.

I test drove the Chicane Silver 08 with the black/red interior and I honestly hated the interior color. Unlike previous models, the red leather now extends up to the top of the headrest on the 08 which I think is completely disgusting.

I would get a 2007 GPW S2000. It's two tone red/black. With red middle panels, red carpets AND RED and black seats. While the 2008 GPW is only red seats. Lame, if you ask me.

2008 without a doubt. Newer car usually wins over older model year.

i went new, no regrets.

used will certainly save you money. run the numbers and see if it's worth the compromise.
