CPO, $0 deductible
Yes and no on how extensive
The CPO warranty is "almost" b to b for the first year and drivetrain for 3.

Honda Care will cover most major components after the first year.

The dealer will try to charge $$$ for the Honda Care.
Just try to get them to throw it in as part of the deal.

 

I just picked up a certified CR a few weeks ago. I didn't want to deal with having to worry whats going to break next and have to fork out money out of my pocket to get it fixed. Even though I know how to turn my own wrench, I'm glad all I have to deal with for awhile is fluid changes. I bought the car and it had some bad hardtop latches that were loose and a deformed windshield gasket. Took it in to my local Honda dealership and got it fixed for free. Great piece of mind for me.

 

Rieg how many miles and year? And price? I'm seeing what kind of deals ppl are getting. Oh where are you located?

 

08 with 25k 28.5k before TTL SoCal

 

similar story with me, i traded an 09 GTI in after buying it brand new and owning it for 6700 miles.

when i picked up my S there were 2 comparable ones at the dealer, one was not certified, had some over spray on the front bumper where the PO spray pained the lip, and needed a good detail.

the other one was certified, and really clean, but cost a little more

both drove well and seemed mechanically sound.

i went with the cheaper one, detailed it, got a new lip, and changed all of the fluids. its been trouble free and im glad i didnt buy the more expensive one. i took my S to another honda dealer where they did a free multi point inspection, they said they dont understand why the dealer i bought it from didnt certify it and mark the price up, the car was in great condition.

 

@dirty, GTI mk6 is awesome, dont get me wrong. I'm def gonna miss the cabin tech. I got heated seats, sirius, BT, sunroof, 18 detroits all for 22.5k OTD. but its not doing it for me. I feel like I can cut my losses and get something I really enjoy now vs later. its the S...

I had a poor experience with my previous s2000, I feel that its not worth the headache and stress.

yay i hit my 55 post mark

 

@S2k-DJ - I would love to keep the GTI, but its definitely not feasible right now. I'll have the gti paid off in 2 years and I figured after that maybe, but 09s are the last of s2000 and they are gonna just rack up miles. So I might as well dump the GTI now and have some fun for a few years with the s2000.

edit: your post was deleted.

 

I got mine certified used at Honda Stealership. maybe $2-3k more than avg price.

reaoson:

1. Don't know anythin bout s2000s (crashed my car 2 days before i bought the S) needed car asap lol.

Now i think i got ripped off, but i drive evryday not worrying about my tranny or my engine failing on me.

BUT.... I still think its not worth it now. Peace of mind VS price?? good luck.

 

I work for a Honda Dealer.

CPO is great when purchased from a HONDA DEALER. Its meaningless if purchased from a non-honda dealer. In fact, its pretty rare to see a Certifed S2000 at a honda dealer around here. Most of the time the honda dealers send to them a sister non-honda dealership just so they dont have to have it certifed and put a warrenty on it.

So you should expect that s2000 to be in good shape.

 

@grandmasterkhan which dealership do you work for?
