This is not a great deal. I got an 07 Laguna with 17 miles on it from Anderson Honda in Palo Alto just over a month ago for $28,600. S2000s are not selling very well at all, and with the 08 coming out, dealers will be extra desperate to get the 07s off their lots.

Be patient, don't appear desperate to buy, and make the dealers sell at YOUR price. Trust me, you hold all the leverage in this situation, and should not settle for anything over $29,000.

The price isn't bad, but people have been getting them for a little less. But if it's the color you want go for it. But before you get it, price insurace. This is one of the most expenisive cars to insure, and a $300/month insurance bill might give the parents second thoughts.

There was a 2007 GPW up here in the Sacramento area that I was interested in and the dealer offered $29,1000 to me. Some one else got to it before I could though.

The guy who got it, got it for $29K with front lip thrown in.
