"One of my friends has one and he tells me it's like a 4 wheeled motorcycle - sounds good... "

You should drive one first... it's only a 4 wheeled motorcycle to those who don't ride bikes. It's not nearly as fun as bike, but as far as "cages" go, it's easily one of the more entertaining ones. Won't your friend let you drive his? I got a test drive a used one at a local dealer, and it's a fun drive for sure, but not what I thought it would be. Not saying that it was bad in anyway, just different than my expectations going into my first drive.

my friend that made the comment about it being like a four wheeled motorcycle has a Honda VFR800.... while it is no R1 or 929 it's still a bike.

As far as a lease goes - i think i'd rather buy it outright. I'm thinking about probably trying to put down 7 to 10 thousand... just a guess.... i don't know when but it's something that i have been thinking about for a while. I'm just trying to keep my payment as low as possible.

If you want to have an idea on what are the lease prices for your car, you could check yahoo auto.. When leasing, you could be able to try the car before buying it and keeping it. When you buy the brand new car, you could be able to aware that the car didn't have problems in the past, which could save from fees of inspection. You could also ask car dealers on what is the right option.

You do realize that this thread was from 2001 one right? Don't think many people are looking to lease and S2000 still considering they haven't been made for a couple of years lol..

If you need to lease it--You can't afford it. I can afford a lease payment on a Ferrari, but I can't really afford one.
Buy a older S2K and enjoy it.

How do people even find these threads? Do they search " I want to buy a S2000" and they start replying?

Did drwhojm sell the Prelude?
Was it "buy or lease" for the S2000?
Did he ever get married and buy a house?
So many unanswered question from 2001.
