I'd never buy a car that had been test driven by others, but I'd also never buy a model that I couldn't test drive.   Which is why demos are so important.   Yes, that's an expense for the dealer, but considering how much money buyers are giving them, it's part of the cost of doing business...

#42 of 416 Headrest speakers by parm Aug 16, 2004 (12:01 pm)
I've looked at the S2000 headrests and am having trouble envisioning how speakers can be integrated. Can anyone clue me in? Thanks.

Two options.   1. The MY04 model offers headrest speakers as an option; basically there is a plastic enclosure that fits within the roll hoops and includes a pair of tweeters hooked up in stereo. The plus is factory support (for what it's worth) and stereo imaging. The minus is cost + the fact that you're probably paying a huge markup for subpar options. These work with the earlier models too.   2. Over on places like s2ki.com you can find information about "S-Pods" which are similar enclosures that allow you to put in your own 5 1/4" (or so) midrange driver. The plus is low cost, getting to choose the driver, and probably way, way better sound quality for the buck. The minus is a little DIY + as far as I know you don't get any stereo imaging with these, so it might seem weird to have the left channel alone directly behind your skull.

Also, I think there are some pics at handaaccessories.com that might help.

Replying to: blacktalon (Aug 15, 2004 6:38 pm) Interesting post. You wouldn't buy a car that someone else had test driven but you wouldn't buy a car unless you could drive it first.   Lots of people feel like you.   Trouble is, it's unlikely a dealer would keep a dedicated S-2000 for that purpose. They are in such short suppl for the limited market they attract it would make no sense.   And like I said before these attract non-buyers and joyriders en masse whe would want to drive the car just because they could.

Well, it works for me.   I've never had trouble test driving a car which I was interested in (including the S2000). More importantly, I've never had the far worse problem of purchasing a car that turns out to be disappointing.   The Honda dealer where I tested the S2K did in fact have a dedicated demo, which the sales guy encouraged me to push hard. And I told him up front that I wasn't planning to buy for at least a year or two...
#47 of 416 I rest my case... by isellhondas Aug 26, 2004 (4:39 pm)
But I'm glad it worked for you!

Gotta put a plug in for Brown Honda- located in Toledo, Ohio. Recently purchased a new Silverstone w/ red/black interior for a great price and did the deal entirely over the 'net. Their net Mgr. was great to work with and they were/are very willing and receptive to S2000 deals.   Gotta admit, this car- after years of trying to make up my mind- was the right choice. Snug fit, quick, agile, beautiful lines, head-turner, wife magnet, kids dig it, grandmas drool over it...you get the point. If you don't have one, go treat yourself somehow. She's worth scrounging up the money for. Replies to this message: vinnyny (Aug 27, 2004 7:09 am) titan (Aug 27, 2004 9:42 am)

Replying to: vinnyny (Aug 27, 2004 7:09 am) If you are looking to buy and distance isn't an issue, I'd advise you check these folks out, Vinnyny. I paid an even $32K flat. This price included rear deck spoiler, front chin spoiler, side strakes and head rest speakers. The kicker is the color is Silverstone with the red/black interior. This was the first dealership among roughly 20 I checked out who would even consider negotiating for this color combo. Everyone was willing to deal the yellows, reds, whites, etc., but not this one for some reason. So, in the end, I drove home feeling real good about the deal and the process.   Titan
