Ask your dealer (or a dealer) what the current S2000 residual and money factor is so you can compare and see how bad it is. I have an e-mail in to mine to see what they say, but no answer (yet).

Dennis-
 
my local dealer has a leftover 07 advertised at 6000 off MSRP and they told me they have now made is 7000 off MSRP.
 
so 7000 off MSRP on an 07, but it's brand new.
 
good deal? they also have 08s, but they don't claim to have as much off but I honestly think they would knock those down just as much.
 
is the 07 and 08 the same? any mechanical differences at all?

With the dealer cash incentive, is it safe to say that I could try to get the purchase price of a new MY08 1,000 lower (that is if I intend on utilizing their 2.9APR)?

2008 versus 2007
 
Nothing drastic but significant to some:
Minor changes to seats ( I notice the headrest is a little higher)
Minor changes to dash (fuel and temp guages are moved to right)
Tire monitoring system
Honda has "retuned the regular model's suspension for better high-speed stability"
New 5-spoke wheels which I happen to like better
 
Hope this helps,
Joe

Current Deal - $1k in dealer cash by dwynne
Jul 23, 2008 (8:30 am)

I heard back from the dealer that leased me my 08 S2000.
 
There is a $1,000 dealer incentive if you lease OR take the discounted interest rate.
 
If you loan / lease where they get the $1k then their current price is about $30,800 for the car, dest, and doc fee. If you pay cash or do some other loan or lease then the price is $1k higher. Hint: take the cheap loan from AHFC and just pay it off in a couple of months.
 
The lease works out to be $499 + tax for 36 or $463 + tax for 48 (both terms 12k miles per year) with only tax and tag and first month due at signing (with top tier credit). I don't have the MF and residual break down, but I asked for it.

5-spokes are easier/quicker to clean than the 11-spoke mine has.

OK, corrections.
 
The selling price would be $30,042.50 (hey, that is less that I paid) if you do AHFC loan financing.
 
If you do the lease or pay cash the price is $1k higher.
 
Sorry for the mistake.

Spray on Meguiars wheel cleaner, a quick brush, and hose off. A LOT easier to clean than the legendary BMW brake dust even with S2000 and lots of scrubbing.
 
Of course, we have a guy that comes to the office and will detail your car inside and out for $25 (no wax or carpet shampoo at this price, just wash and vac). During the summer when my boss' son is not in college he comes to the office and does it for $20. So mostly, the number of spokes does not bother me much .

Dennis-
It looks like your corrected price doesn't include the $670.00 destination charge, which isn't negotiable as far as I can tell. Price with the $1,000 incentive in my area looks like $30,055 + $670 = $30,725. Lower than that would mean asking for a piece their hold-back (2% of $34,300 MSRP =$686).

What is wrong with that ?
 
I paid $30,247.37 for my 08 back at the end of May for the car, dest, and doc fee. This included a $1k lease incentive (and a cheap lease rate). The current price for a PURCHASE from the same dealer is $30,043.50 - so less than I paid. The lease price is $31,043.50 now and the lease rates are not as attractive.
 
We leased a Pilot from the same dealer in January and the price for the SUV, destination, and doc fee used up all but $150 or so of the hold back.
 
If you lived closer to GA, I could hook up you with my dealer. If they have a color you like in stock that would be your selling price ($1k higher for leases).
