Been in the VW scene for the past 3 years, needed something different and a little more reliable.
sold this yesterday..


...picked up this 2006 only 18k miles

 

Congratulations. You've picked a very fine car.

 

Your Golf looked nice! Enjoy the s.

 

LBP is a beautiful color. Treat it well. No car wash brushes on it!

 

definitely a step in the right direction, the new ride looks awesome.

 

how was the vw in terms of reliability?

 

How do you like the S compared to the VW??

 

Nice choice getting the S2000....

Enjoy it.... hit a couple of local meets... you'll can learn a lot from other owners!

 

Test drove the s2000 last month for the first time and I wasn't impressed, but the salesman didn't really let me take it out to far. Then went back to the dealer with a pretty good cash down and he let me take it out with my GF... Got on some nice backroads and opened it up a bit and I couldn't wipe the grin off my face, the car was instantly sold after that haha.

Since owning the VW for 4 years I've done the clutch twice, transmission, new turbo, coilpacks blow out at least twice a year, and constantly swapping out axles. Vw's have So many electrical gremlins and it rattled like crazy inside, Idk maybe I got a lemon but the car was not reliable at all. But 20lbs of boost in a little hatchback like that was pretty fun, the s2000 is an upgrade in so many ways and I'm very happy with my decision!

Its my first rwd car so I've been taking it easy especially in the rainy oregon weather. I would like to lower it in the future but I don't want to change the handling characteristics to much because its such a great car the way it is.

oh and I NEVER use those brushes at the carwash, I always take my own bucket and microfiber towel

 

Congrats!! Love that color.
