Factory paint jobs are not perfect. My resprayed Integra had ZERO orange peel.

Thanks for taking this so OT though. Yet another reason I love the S2KI community. :-)

 

yeah, but it'll probably save your car's life when it rains. You can always turn it off when you don't want it...I do.

LBP is the hottest color so I think it's definitely worth it. 14k miles is a HUGE difference....that's a year's worth of driving for alot of ppl. The seats for the MY06+ AP2's are nicer imo.

When you think about all you're gaining from the MY06, the benefits will easily exceed $4000. Don't forget to include the value that you're gaining by just getting a car with lower miles/later model year

 

The Ap2V2's are not that icky...Of course mine are powder coated so that might have something to do with my decision on their looks.

 

it wouldn't hurt to just test waters locally in a private sale (list your car on some free advertising sites to see if you get any interest) and if you get a buyer, check to see if the 06 you wanted is still available and go from there. That way its kind of a lower-loss situation money-wise in a time where spending money needs a double take.

this way you can get maximum value for your car over what a dealers trade in would give, and then the 06 will seem like a much better deal! and if you don't get any interest, your stuck with, well...an s2000 still so its not that big a deal

 

Honestly ... VSA would be the plus on the 06

I wouldn't recommend you respraying the car. Factory paint and aftermarket paint just arne't the same. Also not to mention your resale value might get jinxed.

Anyway, I would just keep the car. I deliberately chose the 2004 and 2005 in 2006 PERSONALLY because of cosmetic stuff and the stupid reclineable seats. However, sometimes I do wish I have VSA just to keep my right foot from doing stupid things

 

agreeed on vsa being anti fun lol.

vsa gay.

 

not to flame but how is VSA "gay" or "anti fun"? there is a button to turn it off, i can see how people that dont have the system like to bash it.... but i believe in the system, so the VSA might not be for everyone but its a saftey feature that they kept on the car MY06+ just my 2 cents

 

lol yea i know i wasn't being serious at all.

im just jealous thats all. =[

 

lol its ok, only some of us are lucky lol jk bro!

 

hey i tried to buy that car last fall, fyi they have had it since july maybe they are ready to move it now. I will bet they wont want your car though, good luck with it sales mgr is a tool.
