took me months to find my S...6 or so...but i had a strict criteria...ap2.. less than 5k miles...berlina black..ended up traveling 16 hours to get it as well two times.. lol

it was well worth it though

 

2 years, but that was mostly my fault because it took forever for my car to sell....

When I was 100% in the position to buy it took about a month. I found a 2001 (the exact year I wanted) with 20,000 miles, a hardtop and perfect condition.

 

I remember when my friend bought his S2K about 5 years ago. I never thought I would own one, and especially not his. I don't think I could have picked up a better S! Thanks MULDER!

 

took me 8 months to find ... wanted 9k of fun with glass rear window, so my options were limited...

others i looked at were boxster S, TT, z4, 350z, m3, evo, is300...

 

I looked for about 8 mths... I wanted a unmodded S with low miles either in GPW,BB,or Silverstone, I finally found mine at a Kia dealership about an hour away on a Thurs went there on Sat which was my 26th bday after my wife and I attended the St.Louis Cardinals game and drove it home. Best bday I have ever had!

 

Took me 3 months to find ap1 with all red interior with under 60,000 mi. (my only criteria). Just make sure you buy what you want. Good luck with the search

 

 

took me about 3 months to find mine.
criteria: no accidents, one owner, any color, no body damage, no mods, fit my price range.
flew up to go get it then drove 11 hours back home.

 

I was just looking for a low production number AP2 GPW and I found number 000002 FTW

 

Mine sat on a lot for almost two months, then I finally said "Why not go drive it?". The rest is history. It's been a happy four years.
