talk to hardtopguy. that's who i will be dealing with in march when i start hunting for an '05. he seems to have great prices for the car, and great prices for the oem accessories. he's an authorized comptech dealer as well (for down the road )
ask around, he comes with a million references.... (for me, i'm fortunate he's somewhat close by as well)

Front Under Spoiler
Rear Trunk Wing
Honda Alarm with shock sensors
8 Disk CD Changer
Wheel Locks

When the dealership tried to stick it to me for the additional OEM accessories at "their" price, I simply used their computer and brought up the OEM accessories that I found online for a price that was considerably less. They couldn't argue with that. They also installed the parts as part of the cost.

I did get the Honda Care for 60mo / 100k.

Stick to your guns. Happy negotiating.
Whoa!! Please tell me how you were able to get all of those accessories included in a price already below invoice! That's $2500 worth of accessories, for free??

Just for reference, for MY05:

Base invoice (inc. destination)
$30,155

Base MSRP (inc. destination)
$33,465

Some available accessories (from Hondacars.com):
$499 Front underbody spoiler
$489 Rear spoiler (small)
$699 Rear spoiler (questionably ricey )
$54 Wheel locks
$459 Side strakes
$448 Security system
$620 8-disc CD changer
$519 XM Radio
$499 Headrest speakers
$159 Ti shiftknob

(figure a general discount of 33% if you buy these accessories from majestichonda.com)

Honda care warranty should be around the $1400 mark (unnegotiated), and it should be 7 years not 6 (still 100,000 miles).

boca if what you are saying is true (yes I am doubting you but I'd love for it TO be true!), then you just got OTD (less TTT) with a ~$37,185 car for DAMN NEAR invoice price on just the base car!

Anybody know about likely dealer price discounts in the UK. I haven't got an S yet but been drooling over the catalogue for months and want to get one for early next year.

Sorry UK friend, I know nothing. Check out the UK S2000 forum on this board though!
