Took me four months, and had to drive four hours, to finally get what I wanted - the rare 04 GPW/tan.

After i saved up enough money to make a huge down payment it took me 4/5 months of serious research.
I was also in Interested in an FD RX7.
I got it from a local dealer for great deal!

I was casually looking for a 02-05 S2K for about 2 years before I found mine. It all started with me looking around to daily drive one and then I ended up buying a Fit as a more practical choice.

2 years later, I'm looking at a M5 to replace the boring daily driving Fit and stumbled upon my perfect S2K. My criteria the whole time was pretty much no DBW, glass rear window and a good condition GPW. Additional pluses was mine's a 2005 with only 14,000 miles with a 6 pot Wilwood system (and Prodrives for a Subaru fitment ). After talking the dealer down 5k from their asking price, I am now a very happy S2000 owner!

took me about 8 month. i was ready to settle for any color, mainly looking for a AP2. but i ended up with a great deal on a gpw AP2. with low mileage. i was really close to buying a red blue yellow and black.

Gpw is usually price more cause alot of people like white.

I found our S in about a month. It was supposed to be a surprise for Evan, but I couldn't keep quiet about it

I was looking on and off while at the same time saving up money. It took me 6-7 months before i actually got what i was some what looking for. I didn't want silver, yellow nor suzuka blue. I was preferably looking for an AP2 but they were out of my price range. I was also looking for a well taken care of car with a clean title. I came across an 03 Berlina Black with 30k miles for $16000(CAD). Car was in mint shape and best of all it was lady driven. I lucked out

Took me about a year but I wasn't looking that hard when the one I bought found me. I knew what price range I wanted, I knew I wanted an '02/'03 and when I found this one with only 15,000 original miles in 2006, that was a 4 year old car with 15K miles, looked like it just rolled off the showroom floor, and I paid $15,000 less than it sold for new. I couldn't pass that up.

I looked for about... a year to get what I wanted. Obviously more seriously as time went on, but I was looking/willing for about a year
