ok i currently have a 04 civic Si (love it but its no S)and i just found a MY00 Silverstone S2K for sale at a dealer and i was thinking of doing some trding. i ve wanted one for a while but could never find a used one till now. it has 24000 miles and they want 20.991 for it. its in great shape the guy bought it new and traded it in for an 05. just wondering what you thought of it. i have searched and read but just wanted input on my application here. just wondering what insurance and stuff will be like. thanks ahead guys

 

Insurance is going to vary, but generally, if you are younger, expect to pay a lot. Your best bet is to try a few online quotes or call your insurance agent directly.

Good luck

 

Do it, but be prepared to get smoked on your trade. The dealer might move a little on the price, but they know spring is around the corner. Good luck and hope you get the car!

 

yea i kinda know what to expect from the trade. but as long as i can get tha payments worked out good then it all good. and before ya ask i do have alternate transportation to...lol... i have a 94 civic also.

 

20.9 is on the high end, but if it is in excellent shape, it may be worth it.

I would have a compression test done before you get it, though.

 

I think you've made an excellent choice.

 

yea its in great shape and it was bought with every option available (except hardtop). how would i have a compression test done, would the dealer do it or what? anything else i should look for in a MY00

 

the dealer can do it. it costs about $50, but the dealer really should do it for free to prove it is truly a good car.

You can pretty much quote me to them: "The car you are selling is a little high on the price, but if it is truly a good car I am willing to pay that. If you can show me compression numbers on it that will ease my concerns about the health of the engine." If you say that to them, I can pretty much guarantee they will do the test gratis.

$20.9 is a little high, but as you said, you can't find any other S2000s now can you? So, the price is probably accurate for your location.

 

did you get it.
