I am near certain about buying an S2000 by the end of Feb. I hate the whole car dealership experience and really want to get a decent quote over the internet with no hassle. I have gotten one so far at $31500, but it is about $1000 more than I am willing to pay. Ideally, I'd like to get it for $30000 or less.

What is the best service for requesting quotes on the car? Autobytel? Cars.com?
Basically, I'd prefer to buy from a dealer within a 100 mile radius. I am in Northern VA.

Thanks.

 

<-----Dealer in Norfolk, VA - check your PM.

 

you should be gettin much less than that considering the time of year.. try cars.com and email every dealer around. NoVa should have very competitive pricing

 

So far I've emailed 5 local dealerships. There must be over 20 in a 50 mile radius.

I didn't have much luck in terms of speedy responses when I recently bought mine. Instead, on a whim, I went back to the dealer that is near my house, told him the price I was willing to pay and wouldn't budge. My logic was that dealer was the first place I visited, but I'd be happy to do some shopping. If they agreed, it was a sale for them, and if not, oh well. The only other stipulation was they had to get the color I wanted and it had to be low miles. It took thirty minutes, but by the time given the dealership was dead, I think they were happy to make the sale that night.

It was about a week after I sent out my emails (and got the car) that I started to get responses. It was weird, nearly all came back on the same day. It is as if the web-sales folks are all trained to only check their emails but once a week.
