Is $29,000 a good price for a new 2002 s2000?

 

Yeah that's a good price.

 

YES

 

What color, are you going to keep it for 4-5 years?

 

I just ran Kelly Blue Book reports and got the following figures for a stock '02 S2000 w/ 1000 miles in my home zip code of 94577:

"Used car retail sale value" = $33,690.

"Trade-in value" = $27,295

"Private-Party value" = $30,645

The values differ a bit for different regions, so you'e have to run the numbers in your own zip code.

If the numbers for Buffalo are within 2 or 3% of these, I'd jump on the $29k offer pronto!!!

 

They have Black, silver & red. There is also another dealer with a Yellow one for the same price but it has 400 miles on it.
I plan on keeping it about 6 years.

 

If I could get a 2003 for somewhere near that (silverstone or spa preferred) I would be very happy.

 

Yep, that's a good deal. I just bought a new '02 from a Boston dealer for $28,988.

 

Pass on the car w/ 400 miles on it. Of corse look for an 03' but if it's 1-3k more go for the 02. There is no diffrence. They will have more insentive to sell you he 02 cheeper!!

 

Hey CC, and fellow western NY'er...

Sounds like a very good price. I've seen a couple of '02's listed at about same, but not much lower. From reading here, I suspect you can probably work an '03 for near invoice ($29,785) to a tad over $30K. But if you hold on for 6 years, little depreciation advantage to the newer one. Still, I'd use that as a bargaining chip and see if you can squeeze a bit more, or get an '03. Please report back on your final decision and experience.
