Thumbs up Thinking about getting a S2k

Hi everyone I am new here I currently own a 07 G35 coupe 6MT. The car is kinda slow for me, I know the S2000 will not be much different but I really want something more fun to drive around. I want to start going to the track race a little (auto crossing) have some fun. However, I don't own a second car so it will be DD. I really never use my rear seat on the G so I don't care about that, I rather have a drop top instead of the rear seats. I have found a 06 with 45K miles for $16000. I would like to hear your guys advice on this should I trade in my car for it or not. Why or why not, I'm in collage so I don't have a huge budget.

Thank you very much.

Stop thinking about getting one and get one already . Buying an s2000 is something you will never regret. No one ever does

Wow 5"8 210? Height wise you'll be fine but you might find the seats a bit tight.

as with many car buying experiences, what's stopping you from test driving one?

i test drove a g35 before i bought my S, and decided it wasn't worth the money to sell my DD and go all in for a G35, in my opinion of course.

as for the S you found, you should always get it checked out and do the regular routine of finding out as much about the car as you can. if you're more serious about it there's this guide when you're looking at them

I had one of the first pre-order G35's back in 2002. It was a good car but it just wasn't for me. If your main priority is fun to drive then you won't regret making the switch.
