Need some advice..
Hey fellas..ive been a member for a while now and usually browse through this particular forum. Im at a point in my life where an S2k is in the future...the near future..like in a month! Heres is my dilema...im torn between 2 S's...One is an 03 GPW with tan/black for $16750 with 51k on it...the other is an 05 GPW with tan/black for $16k with 64k on it. The dealers wont budge..ive been in contact with them for a week and they wont move..Both are stock except for the 05 radio..its an after market. Is this the going price for white s2k's? Ive seen 04 silver ones with hardtops for low 15's and under 40k miles? Any suggestions?

Re: Need some advice..
Yeah they deff arent gonna move on the price on either one..i just spoke with the both of them... So 16k for an 05 with 64,000 miles on it is a decent deal?

Re: Need some advice..
to be honest both of those s2k's are a lil over priced.
Id go with the ap2 for sure if your debating between the two. Im more of a
ap1 guy.
Im have the same situation right now looking for a s. But ive been looking outta state and have found better deals, but with higher miles around 65k.

Re: Need some advice..
Im on the fence but leaning that way... the place that has it offers a warranty at least but the 05 i can get for 16k but it has 64k on it...i think thats too much..and the guy said that there hard to come by and some one from canada is looking at it! LOL! Im gonna try to go down and see the 03..its in pa, about 2 hours from me..

Re: Need some advice..
id suggest neither....
in my opionion the 03 is priced a little high, the 05 is priced to sell.
BUT
if your so worried about a warranty... wait until you find one at a honda dealer and get a hondacare warranty...
aftermarket warranties SUCK
i work at a dealer and i deal with them alot.
S2000 is a sports car and they will most likely, call driver abuse on you if you experience any extreme repairs such as engine failure trans failure diff failure ect.
plus alot of places wont accept aftermarket warranties, and even if they do, if the aftermarket company will only pay X dollars but the repair shop wants more, your still responsible for the difference.

I'd say neither, buy from a private seller and what till you find EXACTLY what you want. Winter is definitely the time to buy one! Craigslist and ebay have the best deals...
