Post Lowest Quote on new 2008 CR?

Hey all.

I'm in talks with a dealer who might be willing to match another dealer even if they are out of state on new CR pricing.

What is the lowest quote and name of dealer that you have obtained so far?

I'll start. Spa yellow at $28,500 with no haggling yet at Coral Springs Honda. I'm sure it can go lower but what else have you guys seen?

Anyone still think the S2k will hold great value or price will jump back up?

don't think it'll jump back up much but S2Ks seem to be holding their value (as a % of original (actual-not MSRP) prices) better than many Z4s, boxters, miatas , or SLKs right now.
I'm judging that on the "buy it now" and "completed" prices on eBay---for example--right now there is an 06 M Roadster with 7900 miles at a "buy it now price" of $31k and an 07 Boxter with 15k miles for $34k buy-it-now. both those cars were over $50k new. Cars that are being bid on are going for even lower.
While we've seen a big drop in the value of our S2Ks over the past 6 months or so, I think we've done better than owners of other brands of roadsters. For example, my 05 with 8900 miles would probably fetch about 18-19k on ebay---a big drop from a year ago but still not bad for a 4 model year old car that I originally paid $28k new for.
Wish it was better though........

Take a look at the Porsche Cayman S. An '06 Sold for less than 32K (MSRP was over 60K). You can find many '07's for under 40k. I was all set to get one since the price was dropping, but I found that the S2000 is dropping in price too (not as much as the Cayman S though). If I wait I'm sure I'll be able to find an '06 Cayman S for under 30k or an '07 for mid 30's. However, I'm seeing '06 and '07 S2000's for around 20K. I'm thinking the S2000's will continue to drop in price and there will be no appreciation in price anytime soon. If Z4 Roadsters and Porsche Caymans/Boxsters are dropping in price I believe that this will add pressure to S2000 prices. Of course I could be completely wrong. I hope I'm not though, I'd love to get an S2000.
