Almost get an '06 S2000 today.
 
I have a deal online is norcal for about $1000 less but local guy is nice and help me alot. So we agree at $31,500 + tax included all fee. I went to the dealer this morning ready to sign the paper. They come back with $31,500 + $300 fee + tax. They said sorry it's miscomunication. I said thank you and walk out. Look like I'm going to drive to bay area next week.

Way to stick it to the man.

Dealers suck...

Why not pick up a used higher reving '04 or is it '03 for under $20K...? They will be real cheap coming into winter...

Just a thought.

I have a bad luck with a used car. Civic SI bad tranny, Caravan replace the whole tranny, Talon skip timing belt engine go bye bye, Mecedes C Class many anoying electrical problems. I always buy a warranty... with my luck, I'll use it.

When you buy a used car, well there is a secret... Vodoo is the word. Sacrifice a chicken, make a big ring of salt around the used beast and exercise the demons out. After the ceremoy, let the chicken bones dry out and hang them from the rear veiw mirror.

MattR 2006-09-02 02:32 PM

Sweet man, I hope to see the car some time once you pick it up. S2000's are awesome.

Dean 2006-09-02 02:47 PM

I did forget to say... Cool... Can't wait to see/drive it. :)

Good to hear you walked away from the dealer with the "oops, sorry, miscommunication bit". I hate that kind of wheeling-dealing.
I had a Caravan with a bad transmission too, glad to be rid of it.

sp00ln 2006-09-02 05:51 PM

Again, props on walking out!

Can I ask, why an S2000?

JC 2006-09-04 09:14 PM

Nice choice of cars and way to stick to your guns man.

I want a convertible M3 and S4 are out of the budget, Evo and STI don't make a drop top, 350Z is too heavy and look funny when the top is up.

We're going to the California this week to get the car for almost $1000 less.

Pat R. 2006-09-05 08:36 PM

If you want a set of stock 16" wheels let me know- I have 4 1/2 sets:
1. 5-spokes that came on the car with shaved Sumitomo HTR-Zs (not for sale)
2. 5-spokes off an '02 with Hoosier R3S04s (for sale)
3. 5-spokes that are powdercoated black with <500 mile Hankook Z212s (for sale)
4. 3 front and 3 rear JDM 6-spokes with Kumho 710s (not for sale)

Pat R. 2006-09-05 08:44 PM

I forgot to mention...
 
If the whole Heaven / Hell thing you hear so much about in church is true then Bill Pearce is burning in Hell right now. I would only do business with BP Honda if I were an ex-con and missed getting fucked in the ass and laughed at afterward.

Nick Koan 2006-09-05 09:55 PM

I still want to get one. Maybe a high reving early model in a year or so.

zpeed 2006-09-08 02:18 PM

Got one yesterday.. Auburn Honda deliver the car here with almost $1000 less. I'll take some pictures.

ArthurS 2006-09-08 02:33 PM

Congrats again Nat!

Nice! You need to give Pat R. a run at the last autocross of the season... get your break-in miles done before Oct 7/8! :cool:

Nick Koan 2006-09-08 03:58 PM

Awesome!

Can't wait to check it out.

I only have 3 or 4 auto-x in last 4 years, one in my mercedes C-240, one in my brother STI and last one last year in my friend boxster. I hope to be with in 5 second of his times. I put on almost 100 miles yesterday, 300 miles to go (break-in at 600).

Duckie 2006-09-09 09:42 PM

Have fun with the S2000, my friend just bought an 04 not too long ago.
