Bought it from a Private seller locally. Took forever to find a good deal on one and couldn't pass this one up. It's an 02. Completely stock (other than hideous wheels), maintained well, mint condition. IT's hard to find a decent one around that hasn't been used and abused. Guy I purchased it from is a little older and works for Bridgestone.

Which car do you like better? The new Si's are pretty sick, but so are S2000's.

Si's are nice. I can't lie. I wouldn't mind just a civic in general to mod or do a motor swap in. I think it'd be fun. But then I can't get this image out of my head of being able to take say a type r civic or k20 swap and pick up the kids from soccer practice. Its a family car no matter what you do to it. Whereas the s2000 is something my wife and I could put the top down on and go cruising down the pch in. So don't get me wrong I like civics, and think they're fun cars, but trust me you won't regret getting an s2000.

On another note, if you buy used, check out the 02-03's for ap1's (as previously stated.) If you want a used AP2 try 04-05. You can usually get better deals on those years compared to the newer ap2's. And the cash you save on getting a deal on a used one you can put towards mods, firearms, or whatever else you might want.

Don't get a si,If u want a civic there is nothing wrong with a swaped ek or eg.si's are overpriced and not all that people say they are.I'd rather get a s2k for just a couple grand more.rwd is a plus!
Ap1s are really nice and look better IMO than ap2 but get a 02-03 they are much more refined than 00-01.
