Hey RGB...I'm also in Mass, and just stopped into a dealer the other day that had a NEW 03 and a NEW 02 in the showroom! 04 wasn't in yet. I don't know, maybe they're not selling as well around here? I've been thinking I'd shoot for a price under 30K on an 04, and am glad to hear about your experience. Was that a delivered price and was it in the Boston area? |

| FYI, Carsdirect is listing 'em for $30,500 for the Boston area. | |
| purchased Suzuka Blue 2004 S2000 (1st '04 at dealership), on 10/30/03, for $34.5 K (before trade-in), including factory hardtop. | |
| That's an excellent price! How is the hardtop? | |

I requested quotes from a number of dealers in Houston, San Antonio, Corpus Christi and the Rio Grande Valley. My best price accepted was $31,742 including the headrest speakers installed. I could have done better by dealing with a dealer in the north, however it would be offset by the cost to deliver the car home. Overall I am really happy with my purchase decision and look forward to driving every it every chance I get. Oh, by the way, there is much more room in the trunk than with the 350Z, I can get 2 sets of golf clubs in the trunk if I use my smaller bags and leave the pull carts at home! |

... was my deal in Cleveland, TN (near Chattanooga). This was a little better deal than what I was offered in Chattanooga and Dalton GA and a considerably better one than what the Woodstock GA (northern ATL suburb) dealer would do. Could have bought a Sebring Silver w/the red & black interior |

Bought our Suzuka Blue from Ralph Schomp at $30,600 out the door. They tossed in a 7yr/100K extended warranty gratis if we let them service the car after factory warranty runs out. Probably not; dealer service is too spendy. They had one '03 left at $28,700 and four '04s, all at $30,600. The buy was quick, simple, hassle-free with none of the "I have to talk with the finance guy" BS, or other car store horror stories. In fact, the dealership did everything possible to please us after my wife couldn't make up her mind re: body color/interior combos. They brought other vehicles in from other dealers and their storage warehouse (two of these had to be prepped for comparos). The one issue that occured concerned the car itself. We (she) decided on Suzuka Blue, a color in extremely short supply in Colorado--one car--in Ft. Collins. The lot boy put a foot-long shallow crease in the right side rocker panel taking it off the showroom floor and didn't tell the Schomp rep who picked it up after sundown on Friday. We were out of town and went to pick the car up when we landed at DIA on Saturday. When we arrived at the dealership 10 minutes before closing--our sales guy showed us the damage, apologed profusely and said they had an excellent body shop. I knew they had, but I turned the car down. It was nearly closing, but the sales manager started calling out of state and got a dealer in Cheyenne, Wyoming. He had an S2K on the showroom floor--the only one he had and the only Blue one in Wyoming. Monday morning, a Schomp rep drove one of their 2Ks to Cheyenne in a dealer trade and brought ours back. It was unmarked and perfect. It's been two weeks and we've put less than 100 miles on the car. It rained for a week and my wife was going nuts to get out and drive "Tsunami." The weather has cleared and we're quickly forgetting Giulia. We'd been driving a super-clean, '63 Alfa Spider show car that I bought new and raced in club events, modified to the hilt with a 2.0L, racing suspension, Plus 2 wheel/tire package, magnificent body work and paint, custom leather interior, etc., etc., but it remained a 60s classic with all that connotation entails. A fellow Alfisti offered $12K for it. Giulia's gone and Tsunami has taken her place in the garage. I've owned, driven and raced a variety of excellent machinery, some costing well over the Honda's price tag. I will say, however, the S2K is simply incredible for the money. In fact, let's just say it's incredible. Period. We couldn't be more pleased with our choice... |

i bought a suzuka blue 04 S2000 today. i got it for 30,850 which seems to be a reasonable discount given the time of year and demand for that particular color. my thanks to all of the previous posters here. it helps one assess whether you're getting a fair deal or not. I love the car. perhaps the most fun i've had driving a car, ever. |
