I'm just recently buying a 2003 S2000. In fact I'll be signing the contract next Monday. I searched around for a while and found this deal. It's blue on blue, good condition (no scratches or dents on the exterior, broken antenna but the dealer will fix it for $25, and a very minor tear on the passenger door which they fix for $125, like new rims, about 65% left of tires life, clean engine, everything else looks very good). It's one owner. Mileage is 63,580. It was listed for $17,475 and I negotiated it down to $15,500. Is it a good deal? OK deal? Bad deal? It's my first manual car, first sport car, and most expensive car I've purchased so I'm a little nervous. +) Any input is appreciated. Thanks. P.S.: I'm from austin, texas.

Look for "individual owner" listings and you'll eventually find the one that the guy dried with baby diapers after he washed it with distilled water. Cars.com showed a "weekend driver" in Rockport with 14,700 miles for only $18,900. Call him and talk him down!

The one you talked about is a 2001, with 14,7000 mi, selling at $18,900. So basically it's 2 years older, $3.5K more expensive, lower miles. Is that worth it? I do have a budget of $18K max

Replying to: vinnyny (Jan 06, 2008 6:39 pm) As far a which one to get, you'd be best to talk to the person and get a vibe from him. If either owner says, "yeah man, this thing is fast!" He probably didn't wash it was diapers with distilled water.  I'm a member of the s2ki.com forum and there are lots of s2k fans who do baby their cars and in fact, I'd suggest you hit www.s2ki.com and find the local chapter. There is almost always someone selling their S. Oh, also see if they'd let you have the car inspected by a mechanic you trust. If they say they are not comfortable with that, run. If they say sure, get the inspection done. Just because they agreed, doesn't mean they aren't trying to hide something. I've sold many cars before and people have asked if they could have a car I was selling inspected... only 1 person actually got the car inspected. People think if the seller of a car is willing to have their car inspected that the seller's car must be okay. This isn't always true. It could simply be they are bluffing and/or calling your bluff if you will. Check out s2ki.com. You'll find a wealth of information and maybe your first S! Let us know how it goes.
