Default Leftover 2007s

I'm looking to get back into a S2000 and have begun looking online at what is available in my area. To my surprise there are still 4 leftover new 2007 S2000s within driving distance. What is a "new" 2007 worth now? They are 2 model years old now. Any issues with buying a new car that has potentially been on the lot for well over a year? These are still considered new by Honda right? Warranty begins the day you buy it?

How much are they asking for a 'left over'? I paid 26,000 for an '07 with 12,000kms if that is any reference. Car was like new interior and out.

I submitted requests for 3 quotes from 3 different dealers. Have not heard back from any of them yet.

Ah well good luck. I believe it is from the date of purchase so they should honor the Warranty but I can't say for sure. Dealership should be able to tell you that. Contact Honda direclty yourself to make sure your not getting a line from the dealership though.

Good luck with the deal. You will love the car as I do.

Wow, umm, hmm. With some '08 CRs supposedly going for 29,500, wow, a leftover untitled MY07 would be, what, $27k or so?

I purchased a "leftover" 2007 about 3 months ago. It includes a full factory new warranty. 27k should buy it. (Best purchase I ever made, love the car)!

29k for a CR?? About 6 months ago when i bought my 05 a Wade Raulerson Honda in Weston, Fl. had a blue CR for $37k. 29k sounds like a steal.

The only problem with buying a car that's been sitting so long is the oil already needs to be changed and the car still hasn't been broken in. You need to have the oil changed immediately by the dealer and have them use an oil that works good for break in. Not just their Honda 5-30 or w.e.
