my only concern would be that someone would beat me to it before I could run to the bank and acquire the cash....

That's easy to avoid..If you want the car...Talk it over with the seller and you can negotiate some deal. First come, first serve.. I'm still looking for an S..i'll definitely own one someday..I recently acquired a crx. Maybe trade in my Lancer for one after the summer..

I would be very concerned.


A car like the S with In that condition, could be be purchased by someone else in a heartbeat! Buy it before you have to kick yourself for not snapping up that car.

I bought my '08 S2000 with only 8000 miles on the odometer. The oil was only changed once at a Honda dealership.

I had a very well respected S2000 shop (SOS) inspect my car, perform the leakdown and compression test, and change the oil before I started on the long drive back home.
