#281 of 416 Re: April 2007 S2000 sales numbers [habitat1] by dwynne May 02, 2007 (10:19 am)
Replying to: habitat1 (May 02, 2007 2:51 am) I always wanted an NSX, but I could never afford one (and really could not fit in it since the driver's area is tiny - much tighter than the S).   In a recent AutoWeek they reported from the NY auto show the S2000 CR "The CR hits dealerships this fall". So maybe the S2000 will live on? Hopefully in more than just the track version CR.   Link to story with pic   The new lease deals are up on the Honda page and the S2000 deal is not hot. It comes in at 6.84% effective rate. I was shocked it was not more. The pre-figured deal has the car going for under invoice, so they are probably still doing the $2k dealer money.   Dennis

Replying to: accelerator (May 02, 2007 5:48 am) I had an 01 and now have an 05. The 2.2l motor is easier to drive and still fun, the older 2.0l meter was more "fun" when you could wind it up (which is not as much as you would think). It is more "raw" and sometimes I miss it.   The newer cars have larger wheels and tires and better stability (even without the electronic assist). Even driving at less than ten tenths the older S2000s could sneak around on you. Just out goofing off I went into a decreasing radius corner a little too fast and the next thing I know I am fighting to keep the rear of the car behind me . A lot better in the newer design. The upgraded interior is nice too.   The new lease numbers are up and the effective rate is 6.84%, so no big help there.   I would buy a new 07 with the $2k off - you might could get it for invoice less the whole $2k if you find the right dealer. That puts you not that much more than a used one, and if you are financing you save on the interest rate (usually a good bit cheaper rate on a new car than a used one).   Of the choices you have here, the 06 is the one to get.   Dennis Replies to this message: accelerator (May 03, 2007 7:24 pm)

Replying to: rujo (May 03, 2007 12:02 pm) My local dealer is saying $28,500 plus TTL. I say it is a legit offer from your dealer. I'm shopping around for a Laguna Blue and to see if any dealer will beat my $28500. My local dealer doesn't have a blue one but can transfer one in for $275... That is just $275 I'd rather not pay.

Replying to: accelerator (May 03, 2007 7:05 pm) My local dealer is saying $28,500 plus TTL.   This is good news - looks like prices are dropping into the invoice less $3000 range. What part of the country are you in?

Replying to: dwynne (May 02, 2007 10:27 am) I had an '82 Toyota Celica Supra and did that once (decreasing turn) and as hard as I fought, I wasn't able to keep the rear behind me... I did end up going into the ditch just between two light poles... all I could think about was that I didn't want to become a statistic (I was 16). By my skillful driving (because all 16 years have the skill of good ole Mario Andretti), I managed to steer clear of the poles and to safety.   Back to the toic, I went to look at the 06 and apparently it was car going to auction. It turned out to have 4500 miles instead of 7500 miles and was in prestine condition... on the outside. Inside, the speakers were blown, the compartment between the two seats were broken and the kicker, the vin tags on the fenders appeared to have been scratched at. The trunk and the hood didn't seem to close tightly so I figure 1) somebody abused the hell out of it or 2) it was a theft recovery. The small items were no big deal, but the fact that the vin tags were scratched at really concerned me. Anyone ever hear of this before? Why might a person do this?

Replying to: accelerator (May 03, 2007 7:05 pm) Whoa, wait. I came in here new to this. Are you saying you can get a new 2007 S2000 for $28,500???
#289 of 416 Anyone know of reabates? by jimhemi May 08, 2007 (7:49 am)
Does anyone know of any rebates/dealer incentives on 2005 or 2006 S2000's? DO they exist or just a urban legend on this car? I can't find any on this site and some others. Replies to this message: accelerator (May 08, 2007 7:59 am) jimhemi (May 08, 2007 10:16 am)

Replying to: jimhemi (May 08, 2007 7:49 am) Assuming you are talking about new, good luck finding a new '05. I've seen 2 2006's that were new, but there weren't any incentives on them. Banks view a new '06 as a used vehicle in terms of lease so it is probably wiser (and cheaper) to find an 07. Replies to this message: jimhemi (May 08, 2007 10:16 am)
