I used a broker to purchase mine but some of the owners in Vancouver did it themselves.

Hey,

I've been in the market for an S2000 in Victoria for the past 3 months. I checked out both the cars you mentioned; I was not very impressed with either. For 30K I thought I could get way more car if I imported, and I did

I ended up importing an S2000 with the help of a company called Messiah Motor Cars in Vancouver. I actually picked up the car yesterday and it's MINT. The two cars you mentioned dont even compare to the car I ended up getting.

If you can't find what you're looking for in Victoria, I'd strongly recommend importing a car. If you have someone like Messiah Motor Cars help you out, you don't need to worry about all the paper work/modifications/inspections.

Please let me know if you want anymore detail. I was in your exact place one month ago so I think I have a good feel for what's out there.

Cheers

Bruce helped me import mine. He is a pretty good guy. Welcome and too bad you didn't make it out to the meet yesterday.

If your interested in the Poker Run in July let me know and I will sign you up.

Yes, that was me. I saw yours too, very nice

Do you live downtown? I've seen a GPW AP2 in the underground parking of a condo building downtown. How many GPW do you know of in Victoria?

Off hand I know of 5 now. I have one exactly like yours only a few mods, nightzone has an 06. Stock with low mileage, Jon has an AP1 that is heavily modified (body kit wing and all), and there is another guy that I don't believe is on here that I ran into once, an older guy.

I sent you a PM did you get it?

Good to know, thanks. Do any of those S2000s have red/black interior?
