hey guys i ended up not being very happy with the sales team that i posted about earlier this month and found another GPW

2007 GPW / blk&red interior
59,000 miles
NO ACCIDENTS
all body panels VIN match
Factory GPW hardtop
Never modified (that i can see)


I havent seen the condition of the soft top but the salesman told me it was replaced by last owner so basically new. i also havent seen the underbody but when i drove it it felt very stable and nothing out of the ordinary. I also have no maint records from previous owners

25,500

its local should i pull the trigger?

thanks guys!
That is an excellent price. Especially being local and from a dealer? I would pull that trigger, bro. Very desirable color combo too.
i love the color as well and having the OEM hardtop is a huge bonus, anyone else have insight? its a little higher mileage then i wanted but has everything else i wanted

Personally, I would try to knock it down to around 23.5. Take away the hard top value (around 3500) and that leaves it at a 20k car, which is how I see that car worth. However, an 07 in that color combo is very hard to find. Try to talk them down a little bit, but if they don't, don't immediately pass on it. It's still a relatively good deal, if truly unmolested.

Thank you! thats exactly how i feel that its still 1-2k over what the going rate is but yes indeed it is all OEM and comes with the hardtop. also seems to be the only one within driving distance that color combo that i can see with my own eyes and drive. im thinking ill call them back

I saw that 07 GPW as well, looks clean! For me, the price and mileage are just a little high, but not outrageous. If you're looking to get into an S2000 right away and need the hardtop it's worth trying to negotiate a bit more or just pay up and end your search. Was $25,5 out the door?

Make sure you get a look at the soft top and under carriage too.

its a pretty clean car! shady little mom and pop dealer but whatever, they wanted 28k i said no way and told them 25,500 i stuck there and they are giving it to me. i know they probably put out 18-21k depending on how good they are but i am a service manager at a dealership i know how it works and didnt lowball the hell out of them. ill probably pick it up this week i gave a small deposit. 25.5 + tax& fees so im spending more then i wanted to but its clean its worth it.

Hey Guys..

I kind of need a little more room and have been contemplating selling the S as much as it hurts my heart. I can always buy another in a few years though

It's a 2004 Silverstone, Black leather interior, with 43k on the clock. Interior is in great condition and probably only needs new floor mats. The car is in excellent condition with only minor rock chips in the front from normal driving. It will also be needing new tires soon.

I had a small accident where someone backed up into my front bumper and it was scuffed/scratched, it was his fault and the guys insurance paid it and they repainted the front so it shows on the carfax but I have the pictures of the damage and it was really minimal.

The car has not a single ding or dent and is garage kept. It is also mostly stock minus the UK mod, shortram intake, front strut bar, tein lowering springs, and professional SQ sound system installed with proper sound deadening (Focal comps, Alpine Sub in custom molded enclosure, Pioneer HU), and tinted 20% all around. The softtop is also in excellent condition. I always get compliments on how minty she looks. I also have all the stock parts which can always go back on the car.

I was wondering what I could expect to get for it. Any tips, advice, suggestions? I'm located in NJ by the way.

This sounds like an oxymoron, lol

Maybe looking around 14k, considering common color combo, tires, mods and minor accident.

It gets me every time. Stock is stock people! Just list the mods, however light they may be, but don't say stock, except for...

That's like saying "hey she's a virgin, except she slept with xx,xx,xx,xx and xx." She's mostly stock.

Im not sure about the socal market but here in the south that's a 17-18k car max. I personally wouldn't pay that much for it but thats because its the ugliest color they made
