Just test drove an S2000 yesterday for the first time...I see what you guys are so obsessed about! Here's the deal...my2001, red, only 10k mi. I know the finance mgr at the dealership and he says they'll do $23,200. What do you think?

 

That sounds like a first time price a dealer would give. Work him some more and I guarantee you will get him to drop the price a bit more. Is the car worth 23k? Absolutely.

 

Sounds fair... more or less. If he's a friend of yours he should definately be able to do a little better. Just my .02

 

23 is far too much for an 01.....

i would say 20.5 not much more as it's out of warrantee

 

The reason I thought it sounded like a good price was due to the ultra low miles (10k) and the fact that it is certified. Kelley BB is $24,315 retail and $20,400 trade value. BTY my friend says he can get me a Honda extended warranty (7 yrs/70k) for about $700. Are these cars prone to need repairs often?

 

You should get the dealer to throw in the extended warranty for that price. I paid $24.5K for a 2001 one year ago. The car had 30,000 miles, certified and the dealer through in a 7 year extended (hondacare) warranty for up to 100K miles with a zero deductable.
Please note, I bought it in So.California, the balance of the country should charge a little less.

 

Another question to you guys...has anyone put on studless snows like blizzaks on their S? Any other thoughts on trying to drive this car in winter would be appreciated. I'm in Spokane, WA and we get quite a bit of snow up here...

 

The car is fine with snow tires - just respect the fact that it's a rear wheel drive car and you'll be fine

i traded my 01 in back in april for 18k - just check the for sale section for ball park prices - i am considering selling my 04 for 25.5

 

Tons of us. Do a search.

 

Thanks for all the info...I'm going to go look at the car again and drool (while trying to hide it ;-D ) I'll check back in hopefully with some news...
