I have a deal online is norcal for about $1000 less but local guy is nice and help me alot. So we agree at $31,500 + tax included all fee. I went to the dealer this morning ready to sign the paper. They come back with $31,500 + $300 fee + tax. They said sorry it's miscomunication. I said thank you and walk out. Look like I'm going to drive to bay area next week.

Why not pick up a used higher reving '04 or is it '03 for under $20K...? They will be real cheap coming into winter...

Just a thought.

I have a bad luck with a used car. Civic SI bad tranny, Caravan replace the whole tranny, Talon skip timing belt engine go bye bye, Mecedes C Class many anoying electrical problems. I always buy a warranty... with my luck, I'll use it.

When you buy a used car, well there is a secret... Vodoo is the word. Sacrifice a chicken, make a big ring of salt around the used beast and exercise the demons out. After the ceremoy, let the chicken bones dry out and hang them from the rear veiw mirror.

Sweet man, I hope to see the car some time once you pick it up. S2000's are awesome.

Good to hear you walked away from the dealer with the "oops, sorry, miscommunication bit". I hate that kind of wheeling-dealing.
I had a Caravan with a bad transmission too, glad to be rid of it.

Again, props on walking out!

Can I ask, why an S2000?

I want a convertible M3 and S4 are out of the budget, Evo and STI don't make a drop top, 350Z is too heavy and look funny when the top is up.

We're going to the California this week to get the car for almost $1000 less.

2. 5-spokes off an '02 with Hoosier R3S04s (for sale)

4. 3 front and 3 rear JDM 6-spokes with Kumho 710s (not for sale)

If the whole Heaven / Hell thing you hear so much about in church is true then Bill Pearce is burning in Hell right now. I would only do business with BP Honda if I were an ex-con and missed getting fucked in the ass and laughed at afterward.

I still want to get one. Maybe a high reving early model in a year or so.

I only have 3 or 4 auto-x in last 4 years, one in my mercedes C-240, one in my brother STI and last one last year in my friend boxster. I hope to be with in 5 second of his times. I put on almost 100 miles yesterday, 300 miles to go (break-in at 600).
