Arrow Is this deal for S2000 worth it ?

I came across this deal a few days ago but I don't know if I should take it. I was waiting for the 06 to buy for $30k + Tax + tag. But I know this girl selling her car. It a lease that she have to turn it in in 2 weeks. 02' Black on black with only 4300 miles !!! She want 20K for it.
Obviously no warrantee and it not my color choice but with such a low milage and for the price do you guys think it worth it ?

Yes, That's a great deal! Go for it. Why buy a new one and eat the depreciation when you can buy an almost new 02 at such a good deal. Plus you get the 9K redline.

Is the girl included with the car? If so, we need a detailed description of the girl to make an informed decision.

All kidding aside, I think the decision about whether this is a good deal depends on the competing importance of $10K, the differences between the 02 and 06 and your personal preferences about color/style/features. Good luck. Either way you'll have a winner.

Technically I can afford the extra 10K because I am selling my 93' RX7 and I have extra money save up... But 10K is alot of cash that I can put to good use toward my house.... kindna feeling guilty for spending so much money (30K+) for a new car.

4300 miles for $20K...That sounds way too good. I assume since you know this girl that you know nothing is wrong with the car (salvage title, accidents, etc.). Buy it. Drive it around for a while. And if you decide you want an '06 sell that car for (probably) a profit.

Great deal. Also you end up getting the 9k version of the S, definitely the difference.
