When I need to make a decision that doesn't require emotion, I do a line...

Bought my current S out of pure emotion, being a good deal for what it is and being slightly out of my budget.

Month after I bought it, I got falsely evicted, had to move to a more expensive apt and girlfriend/roommate lost her job. But I'll die before I sell the S.

I don't see a VIN sticker on the front bumper, rear bumper, or fenders. Has this been in a collision, or did the car get resprayed?

I feel like I am very qualified to reply to this... seeing as how I sold my 6MT 08 TSX two months ago, and now drive an 04 S2K. I thought I'd have some buyers remorse too... until I went and saw the car for the first time (bought out of state). I smiled the whole time I was driving home. If I could have kept the TSX and gotten the S2K, I would have... I just didn't have the garage space for my cars AND my wife's car. You won't regret it, buddy.

according to my autocheck back in 2007 there was an accident claim but not a total loss where a parked car was hit, not sure if the S was at fault or if it was the car in the parking lot.

It was an 08 Premium white pearl with black/tan interior. 70k mi and the final price was $15,500. They do hold their value well as long as it has the H or A on the front.

You said you haven't driven or seen the car in person already. Have you driven any S2K before? If not then I would recommend for you to go check it out and drive it for a bit. I think it would be extremely hard for you to walk away from it after that! These cars are so much fun and I dd mine and enjoy it every single day.

Yes but only the ap1s and I love them, but I hear the ap2 the interior is better therefore not taking away from what I'm use to with the acura. In terms of luxury
