Hi all.. I'm new to these forums. I came across them a few days ago and I am addicted. I spend hours reading all the threads. I envy all of you who own an S2000. I just graduated college and got a pretty good job as a software engineer. The only problem is with rent/costs of living/girlfriend/etc.. I won't be able to save up the $35,000+ needed to buy an S2000 for a couple years. So.... until then, I am living vicariously through all of you I seriously get excited whenever I read threads that are like "I just drove my new s2000 home today!!" Gah, the thrill you must feel.. owning an S2000. I live in Santa Barbara, California.. am 23 years old. Is this not a better time or place for me to get an S2000??!!?!!? Anyways... keep up the posting of your pics, stories, mods, etc. I love it all!!!

Oh yeah, there was a purpose to this post... How much did all of you new '04 owners pay for your s2k (Out the door, tax and all)? I have my heart set on a Silverstone w/ red/black interior... if they still have that color combo available in a couple years.

Have fun all. Drive safe.

 

Keep faith, if you desire to own one, where there is a will there is a way. It's worth the wait. Until then, welcome to the board and good luck on your ownership goals.

 

$35,400

silverstone/black

Man call me crazy but i am now working on my first payment due February 28.
And you are right about the time and the place.Picking it up tomorrow,just saw it today for the first time all wrapped in plastic.Everything went well except i forgot about the red light ticket i got last october.
I don't mind paying for the car but i almost passed out when allstate quoted me 2,400 for 6 months.
Got alot of insurance co. to call tomorrow.

 

lol. i'm right there with you.

i definitely get excited for those people when i see a thread title of "JUST GOT MY 2004!!" "TOOK DELIVERY OF MY CAR" etc etc.

as for the prices people paid for their cars, you can do a quick search on those. tons of em around.

4 Years later, i got mine.

 

just wondering, why not by a good, used 02?

 

amen

(I dont have one either, and when I buy in a few years, after college, this is what I'll do )

 

Yeah, you can get one for really good price now a days. I paid a grip for mine about 2 years ago, kinda sucks, but o well.

 

timing is everything. I feel your pain. I didn't buy my first car after graduating from college for a year. I was saving up to pay off my school loan. Now after 3 years of working I am able to save up enough money for 2 cars, one of the the s2000, of course and a new house. It's totally worth the wait. Don't worry, you'll get yours eventually.
