Yes that is a very good link, thanks. Is it up to a particular dealer if they decide to offer/extend a warranty for additional time frame or is that automatic with being a "Certified?"

Replying to: accelerator (Mar 27, 2007 9:59 am) "The certification process includes an exhaustive 150-point mechanical and appearance inspection, performed by the dealer, to ensure that each vehicle meets the highest possible standards. Plus, all Honda Certified Used Cars come with a 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty and a 12-month/12,000-mile limited non-powertrain warranty. Dependability, quality and value. Make the smart choice, and find a Certified Honda that's right for you." Sounds like a pretty good deal.

I revisited the web site and found the quote. The one I found is a 2004 Rio Yellow, $26k with 36k miles so I'll have to decide if buying used is better than leasing new.

Replying to: accelerator (Mar 27, 2007 10:56 am) Don't even think about it. At $26k for a 3 year old car with 36k miles vs. $30k +/- for a brand new car, that you break in with full warranty? Are you kidding me? But a new car, for goodness sakes. Unless you can get that 2004 down to about $21k - and even then, I'd rather have a new car for $9k more, let alone a measily $4k. |

Well, I went and test drove it and I still love the car. It was very windy so I got a good assessment of what it would be like on extreme situations. The seats were very smooth and did not hold me in place very well (I'm 5'9" 140#'s). The '07s I've sat in have better grip but perhaps that is because someone else hasn't smoothened the leather. The car was great but the seats were a little dissappointing. I think I am going to hold off and hope that Honda will have their special lease rates soon...

Replying to: accelerator (Mar 28, 2007 11:26 am) There are a few of us now waiting for the next lease special. I am on Honda's website daily so lets hope its coming soon. If history repeats itself, there should be a S2K lease special in the next month or two, and possibly one again in September.

Rather than wait for special lease rates, why don't you just cut your best deal on an S2000 and buy it? Resale values on the S2000 are exceptional and if you can get one for $30-31k new, drive it for 3+/- years and sell it for $22k +/-, you'd be hard pressed to beat that with any lease, special or not.
