Seems like ok deal, about avg these days, it's not massive discount, but not a rip off either. Honda warranty is always a plus, I would pay extra to get it, if they car is clean and you like it, go for it.

 

yea they were asking 24000 for the car and they came down to 22500 but i think if they try giving me lower on my trade i'll just make them come down on the car its only got 18k and its super clean.

 

In dont think thats a great deal, but it sounds like it would be a convenient purchase, which, for me, is worth that money. For a little more smack you may want to look into an 06+ for the VSA. As a DD in an area with the 4 seasons the VSA will protect you. The racelogic traction control can also save your arse and is fairly priced at a little over 1k and not to bad to install, from what I hear, which can be had for all S2000's without dbw. At the very least do yourself a solid if you get the 04 and buy a good set of Ultra High Performance all season tires and install them when the temps dip into the 40's ... even with the traction control cars it is irresponsible to drive with summer only tires on an S in colder climates .. 'IT' just happens to quickly!

Offer 20,000 or 22,000 OTD.

 

Just to let you know that theres someone here locally selling an 06 with 19k miles on it for $22k. Then again there someone selling an 01 for $19k but thats a different story. Honestly I'd offer 20k otd or wait for a good deal. Patience pays off.

 

Which would you rather have.... a crappy car with a great warranty, or great car with a crappy warranty?

I personally would prefer the latter, so I'd spend the money and time to get the best car possible. You can't trust the dealer to deliver you a good car any more than a private seller (where do you think dealers get their cars?). Don't let them fool you into thinking that they performed any real inspection/repair.


BTW: In 06 the Honda increased the warranty to 60k....

 

22k OTD sounds like a decent deal. See if they'll take it. The taxes/registration always comes back to bite people in the @$$.

 

Local dealer has one here (silver w/red n blk) that's an '05 w/10Kmi for $22900 w/Honda Cert Warr, so that's really close.

If it's THE car you want, go for it!

 

I honestly think its a little high even by my understanding of prices (socal) I'd say try and get them to drop prices by another 2 grand or so. Goodluck!

 

yea i dont know if there gonna go for 22OTD there gonna try screwing me on my trade thats just how they are f---ing dealers
