Hard to think they would lose so much on a sale - I wonder if Honda didn't shoot the dealers some cash to help move the left overs off the lot?
 
You CAN get a new 05 without the "demo miles" for $30k including destination and dealer fees.
 
Congrats on the new car - and you got the right color! One good thing about the demo miles is no torture waiting to VTEC the motor

REAL S2000 PRICING by erniereeves

I live in a pretty competitive market area when it comes to cars and homes actually. I know you can get an S2 for about 300 over actuall net cost (including holdback) which would put you about 700 back of invoice. If you're thinking of doing it, there really isn't a better time than now. The money factor is great and I believe it expires on July 5th. Be sure to find a dealer with plenty of inventory, or they are likely to push an older unit on you with possible lot damage.

I'm in San Diego, just bought a 2005 S2000. Looking for Lojack vendor. Dealer wanted $1,000 for it installed. Can anyone recommend where I could get Lojack? (If I'm in the wrong forum, apologies, please let me know where I should go.) Thanks.

June sales numbers - S2000 sales up! by dwynne
Jul 10, 2005 (8:55 pm)

The lease special seems to have done the job, the June number are out
 
http://www.hondanews.com/CatID2001?mid=2005070148995&mime=asc
 
and S2000 sales for June 2005 were 972 units, up from 629 for June 2004. Total of the year is now at 3,945 still a little behind the 4,238 for YTD for last year.
 
One of the 972 was mine - I traded my 2001 S for a new 2005 S. The dealer gave me enough on the trade to buyout the lease (7 months left) so no negative equity to roll into the new one and nothing out of pocket to get out of it. Then they sold me the new car for $30,000 including dest and dealer fees. Needless to say, I am a happy camper!
 
BTW, they are selling my trade in CPO - with less than 18k on the clock it should make someone a nice car for a less than new price.

Purchase experience 2005 S2000 by fr33fall30

Just purchased new 2005 S2000 at dealer invoice. (Of course dealer gets holdback). Not too bad - car is brand new 0-10 miles right off the truck. No other trade-in or financing involved. I have my own financing.
 
This is a great value if you asked me for what you get performance wise. I don't yet have kids so now is my time for an impracticle car like this. Keeping my other car to get through winter here - then I will sell it next spring. Will have to get snow tires for the following winter if my daily driver. . . . Good luck to all.

Need help in deciding which is a better deal! by ohfreddie

Dealer has two S2000's that we've looked at. Please help me decide which is a better deal. There is a used 2004 with 475 miles, that has not been titled (we'd be first owner I guess). Their best offer is 28,900.
Then, there is a new 2005 with 150 miles, MSRP is 33,500 and they will go down to about 30,000.
 
I'm thinking the 05 is a better deal. Although I like the color of the 04 (silver with red/black interior), I have never let the color influence me out of a good deal.
 
The last choice, of course, is that neither of these is a GOOD deal, and that I should wait until the weather gets a little worse here in Chicago, and make them another offer. Any help appreciated!!

$30k for the car including any dealer fees is a good deal. I have heard of a little lower prices, but not by that much. Invoice is $30,409 and there is a little over $1,000 in hold back, so bottom line dealer makes nothing price would be $29,400 or so. Most dealers don't want to deal into hold back at all, but some will to move a car (like a convertible once summer is over).
 
If you like the car, I would guess without some money from Honda to clear out the 05s you might at most save a few hundred dollars. See how little that changes your payment (if financing) and you might decide to go ahead and deal now so YOU get to drive your new S before the weather gets cold. Sure, you might save a little if you wait but then have to drive around with the top up and the heater on.
 
The supply of S2000s at dealers who deal is probably getting low with the cheap lease deal they have. One place I know in KY still has a couple (a black and a silver, I think) and they will do $30k and maybe a little less.
 
The 04 is out, just too little of a discount for a full model year older car.
 
The new 06 S2000s will have stability control (a much needed feature), different seats, steering wheel, and wheels (and some other changes). The other big news is the 06 will have a 36/36k bumper to bumper warranty but will have a 60/50k powertrain warranty. So if you are going to wait, just wait and get a new 06 (but you may have to pay more).
