i just bought a 07 type-s.

I also owned a 2003 type-s. I am not a car expert, but I have driven many many many cars to include countless rental cars. This is one of the few cars that looks top notch and drives top notch. the only way you could go wrong here, is if you need a minivan or a truck and are trying to put this in its place.

there is no def answer to that because it really depends how much effort and how vast your search will be. I would like to say depending on Navi/non-navi or 6M/5AT your range by next spring will be 18k-24kish. Happy searching

So to answer your question finally...YES

in tip top shape clear title - no

under 20K you'll need to be flexible in certain areas. I am sure there is someone on here who has gotten a S for under 20K with under 50K but I suspect they are very rare.

The only type s I saw for under 20 had branded titles. The cars get hit the hardest with depreciation over the first three years - the price will go down, but I doubt it will fall into your bracket next year when you are looking to buy.

BUT - the good news, if you're into this, the 2009s will be mid 20s I suspect - alot of folks here dont like the looks, but a newer car for about what you would pay for an S. Not so sure I would do it, but I would consider it .

Yes depending on car prices in your location. I had the opportunity to get a KBP TL-S with 48k miles a few weeks ago for $19500. Just be sure to shop around.
