hello guys, I've been lurking on the forums trying to read everything i can about this wonderful car. I've decided to purchase one in the near future. Just wanted to get some opinions before i venture into the dealership this weekend. Here are the two i plan on testing this weekend.

2008 GPW/red interior 4582 mi
2007 BB 16806mi

Which one do you think i can get the better deal on? I'm hoping to negotiate in a hard top.

which one should u b able to get a better deal on? well thats easy. one if a year old with 4.5k on the clock, the other two years old with over 3x as many miles (not to mention its not one of the "rarer" colors).

i'm not feeling the GPW with the cr wing on the back tho - of course its just my opinion.
overall u just gotta decide which one u'd like more. the newer rims or the ap2v2 rims? the black (aka "black isn't a color...its a part time job"), or the white (aka not as popular of a color in an s2k but was the most popular color for all cars in america last year). both don't seem to have many miles which is a good thing.

personally i think i'd chose the newer one with less miles. i like the color scheme of that one as well(tho black is always classic), but chances r ull get the 07 for much cheaper

The white is the most "Honda" color of the two; especially with the red. I do not care for the rear wing at all :-( The wheels are just OK, but easy to clean.

The black one is nice, but kind of boring. Nicer wheels, but will take you an additional 20 minutes to wash each time and that can add up over time.

The year and price are something to consider especially with extended warranties if you go that route.

I'd go with white. I'm biased though.

with the statement about wheels. ap2v1 and ap2v2 wheels take forever to clean, though look awesome once they're free of brakedust

I was considering buying the white car. If you don't buy it let me know how much they'll let it go for.
