Default Had the S for a week now...

Hi All.

So I finally sold my camper van, and decided to make the move and buy myself an S. Looked at a few, but decided that Monte Carlo blue was the colour to have, found a beauty down in northampton, probably paid a little over the top, but it was immaculate. For all those interested its a sep 2002 (52), GT with 51K on the clock. Price paid was 7350, and the only non standard bit was lower front strut braces.

I've had it for a week now and the Vtec is addictive! I love driving the s although, now the weather is crap I think it is time to jump back the the daily driver, my volvo v50.lol.
Have a trip planned to the nurburgring for the 4-6 nov, anyone else on here going to be around then? Any tips bar the obvious ring rules and etiquete??

Cheers

Welcome

Beautiful colour, seems a fair price too.

There is a good thread on the 'ring here: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showt...&#entry19564422

Aye, very cheap!

I bought a black S2k, same age, same mileage for £8.5 back in April. I hope it hasn't lost 1k already!

I'd say you got a bargain, I paid 8k for mine (same age, 45k, but no hardtop) a month ago and I thought that was very well priced
I hope you enjoy it!

Congrats on the car. Don't look at what else is available, just enjoy yours! Blue is normally just for girls which is why you probably got it cheap!

It'll easily have lost that in the 6 months you had it, reckon I'd have lost near 4 grand in a year...

I hope that was cheap otherwise you've just wrecked my day!

I was hoping to get around £8500 for my 46k mile 03 next month, I might have to have a little re think or delay the 911 dream.
