I bought an 02 used, then traded up to a new 07. Don't regret either of them one bit.

 

I traded from an 03 to an 06 and that was for a lot of the changes. Not too many changes from 07 to 08. I honestly think the 08(non-CR) wheels are ugly and I really cant stand how much more they made the headrests stick above the roll hoops.

 

I like the 99-05 head rests better anyways

 

the reason for me going new/near-new is the fact that in used cars, we aren't sure of the amount of abuse the car might have taken. especially, a performance/track oriented vehicles, such as s2k.

for my preference, i like 06/07 gpw,
first time in rwd and moving to seattle makes me think i would want the vsa.

 

i have an 07, just for a couple of weeks. i'd buy an 08 in an instant if i'd knew it is the last year for the S.....

 

I did

 

I couldnt buy a new one, I have no where near the money. I had to buy used, got an 03 Suzuka Blue, last year of the 9 grand redline.

 

Isn't Chicane silver new for '08?
Your sig says you have an '07.

my 2cents..

used s2k's with low miles are great buys because they're generally babied by their owners - look at all the folks on this forum who keep it garaged in winter, have DD beaters, obsessively wash/wax ... i mean its an expensive impractical convertible, so it tends to be a secondary nice day/summer car.

bottom line, used STI or EVO scares me. used S2k doesn't.
