Love the White with the Red/Black as well, classic look that will never fade.

Nice matching set. How much did you end up paying for the S2000?

$24,991. As soon as I saw it listed I called up and put a deposit on it. I barely got it before the next guy who was three minutes behind me. There was a long list of people that came afterwards as well.
The dealer raised the price by $1000 on AutoTrader after I made the deal. However I did only pay the original price.
I don't even think the bonnet that goes over the soft top when it is down, was ever used. It is still in the packaging. I also don't think the previous owner ever used the soft top. It looks like new.
I just knew when I saw the color combo that I needed to get it ASAP. So happy with this car.

Thats awesome. Similar story when I got mine. Mine came with the oem hardtop as well and as soon as I saw that I sped right to the dealer. I managed to beat a guy who had already requested photos prior to the dealership posting them online and he hesitated on the purchase so I managed to scoop it up. Suzuka Blue wasn't my first choice of color, but the year, price, mileage and hardtop was too good of a deal to pass on. Also, the color has really grown on me since ownership.

Given the three, the $19990 is the better choice (IMHO). The first and third ones are overpriced for the mileage, mods, etc. (third has been lowered; I put prime value on non-modified). At 126K, that should be at least 1K less, if not 2K. Last year I picked up a Laguna Blue 2006 with 111K, single owner, no accidents, no mods for $15,300 at a dealership. The second one looks to be in better overall shape, and at 57K, is relatively young.
However, if your point is to modify it, perhaps the first one is more to your liking.
In my opinion, that color is just amazing. :-)

how much would you pay for each one?
I wasn't sure if any of those mods on the first one were beneficial.
Wow! That's a good price.
I wasn't sure if 2008 with the cluster change etc was mkre worth it
thanks again.
i tried to edit my post but it won't let me?

I also agree. The second one is definetly the best deal. The third one is owned by someone in the NorCal S2k group on facebook so I would join and ask him. He's documented and been the most honest in the description out of the three so you might have less of a headache if you buy from him, even with the higher price.
Remember this is California so we naturally pay a little bit more for our cars than other states. For reference I got my 2005 Suzuka Blue with 58k miles for 20k with a OEM hardtop. So the 2nd choice is definitely the best deal.
