I'm from the Hamilton area up in Canada. I have asked a number of dealers to test drive a new s2k and they said it's not allowed because they don't want miles put on them. Apparently they are calling it a collector car. I drove in with my itr so he said he knew I wasn't just wasting his time. "He just couldn't take out the s2k."

Would anyone be willing to take me for a ride in their s2k? I have a quick itr and I could return the favour. That would be alot better than buying the car and realizing that the car is not for me.

 

wow a FMIC'd ITR rolling up and they didn't let you test drive a measly S2000!?

 

dealerships here wouldn't let you test drive an ITR either when it was new

 

go find one used. they will have no problem letting you drive used ones. and par for the course.

i had to put a downpayment on both of my S2000's before i drove them, and i am 35, married with a house....

 

I offered my visa, and I am 29, married and a mortgage free homeowner. Also I think it's worth noting that my itr had 67km on it when I picked it up in 98. Really gentle miles I'm sure. I just think it's alittle rediculous. So I'm off to find a used one, Thanks.

 

Yes it's a step down but I'll get by.

 

PM me. Maybe we can set something up i'm in the Mississauga area.
I have a benson sleeved 85mm civic as well, i wouldn't mind checking out your ITR.

 

Tell those dealers "I bet your wife let you 'try before you buy' when you married her"

 

I know this is not my post but sence were talking about s2k's and itr's I need some advice just give me your input like I said sorry to intruded hope you dont mined. The question is I have a chance to trade my bb 2000 sk2 99xxx miles with some mods lowering, spings exhuast, exdey clutch,and rfp1's to trade evan for a 2000 yellow jdm front itr all stock 98xxxmiles what do you all think.

sorry again this just seem like a good post to ask lol....

 

^never trade an s2k for a glorified civic.....now back on topic

 

you should have punched the sales man right in the throat...ive head about the corvette doing that and thats understandable but over an s2000? i didnt think dealers did that

 

Boch honda in norwood MA let me test drive 2 2009 S2000's with no donwpayment, then let my gf drive them... and this was before we talked numbers lol...

 

It happens on cars that they consider "sporty". They don't care about 5 miles of a test drive, they are afraid of the car getting crashed.

 

Thats ****ed up, your a customer looking to buy a S2K and they're worried about their other 25 S2K's on the floor not being able to sell yet they don't want miles on them

you should sue. If that were the case, they should at least put one test drive S2K.

 

Also I never knew they started doing that here to S2Ks, I'm going to swing by and test it out sometime soon.

 

The dealers I have been too never let me test drive an S either...

 

They let me test drive mine because I told them I was paying cash and was ready to buy that day. Lol they had it inside and even moved cars out of the way to open the doors and get it out.

 

wait what dealer has 25 s2ks in stock?

 

Same deal when i went to a dealer, but they had 2-3 used ones available for test drive so i just drive one of those, seems like she said if they checked my credit and was at all serious they would be willing to pull out a brand new one from the garage for me.

 

If u had a bank check ready i bet u could drive it. Having a credit card doesnt mean ur gonna buy it.
