Default dealer negotiation

How far will I be able to talk down a dealer if any for an '03 s2000?

It depends on alot. Do you have a trade in? How much will you be putting down? Are you financing through them? There is always some movement in price, but it depends on the dealer, and how good at negotiating you are. Only sure way to find out is go to Honda, talk to them, and see what they will do.

Right now should be a buyer's market. Just honestly tell the dealer that you're a serious buyer with cash in hand or are willing to fill out a credit app. right away (if you're financing) if the price is right. Do some research yourself, set a price you're willing to pay for the car and directly ask the dealer if they are willing to sell it to you at that price. If the dealership declines, then go to the next dealer. Eventually you'll find someone who's willing to sell to you for your agreed price.

also, go in with an understanding on what invoice is, and get the price to where you feel comfortable. if you have a trade-in, at that point, present the trade-in. when we picked up our '01, it was our 8th or so honda from the same guy so he just came out and told us right away what they were making, how much it would cost us, and gave us some coupons and whatnot for oil change, service, etc... didn't mean a whole lot, but it was better than nothing.
if you don't feel comfortable with the price, just walk out the same door you came in from.. if they have room to budge, they'll stop you at the door.
good luck!

Well he is in Florida so I would presume they don't exactly go out of season like in more temperate areas.

You can save more money buying up north for $29k and spend $1k shipping than buying one at $33k sticker in your area.
