Default 2008 s2k

i am a big fan and always have been, of s2k.
starting with my00, it has gone relatively untouched for a near decade now.
on one side, it awes me of the performance as well as the design,
but on the other, i feel as if is a little bit too untouched.

anyways, as the topic stated,
if you are in the market today, would you buy it again?

i am pretty sure i am going to buy it before the end of this year, new,
but while researching, i just wanted to hear some opinions.

other cars i am considering are,,,, (well, i've been CONSIDERING forever now,,, but be easy on me, i don't like getting flamed )
z4 no M,
possible new 350z, or perhaps 370z (not a big fan of convt, if i get s2000, hardtop would be my first purchase for the car)
135

so, what do u s2k experts say about this?

well,
apparently, 370z is going to be in the market at the end of this year or early next year.
in fact, (i believe now confirmed),
the new model will debut in november,
http://www.my350z.com/forum/showthread.php?t=334420
i am guessing the pictures/info will be leaked a month or two before.

if it would be lighter, (dun need more power than current vq really though),
i might jump for that.

135 looks like its going to stur up some compitition with a lot of cars but the S is it's own magic toy. It all depends on your passion for the car man. i would buy an 08 but only a CR as I find it useless to pay 28-29k for 0-100 miles on a Honda as opposed to an older AP2 or AP1 with the same everything (for the most part) for much cheaper... it is a Honda so used is an option =)

08's are great... buy why buy new when you can get a dealer certified used... for way less money?

i don't buy new cars anymore. That's just throwing money away.

I had good lucks buying low mileage, certified used cars. that seem to be the way to go.
