Default Nice to be back!

After a close to 3 year hiatus, I bought my 2nd S2000 today.
I used to have a Sebring 2003, which I traded in on January 05 when it had 25k miles.

Today I picked up a 2000 Silverstone with 37k miles. I've been looking for some time and I felt it was a good buy, so buy I did.

I'm extremely happy because I've been looking for a bone stock $15,000 Silverstone or Sebring with low miles. There is some wear on the driver seat bolsters but what mattered were the miles and the condition of the car overall. The passenger seat looks brand new.

Did I do good?

I'm happy to be back. I think I'm going to start looking for a red driver seat, or a pair of black seats.

37k for $14.7k sounds reasonable to me, but how it drives is more importantly, not how it looks.

Congrats!!!

It drives well. Took it out on the highway to make sure it drives straight and true. No brake shudders either.

I test drove a blue 2003 yesterday also with 37k miles but the rotors on that car were warped pretty bad.
