Must be it..

and thanks!

 

I totally agree...#bringthebushback

 

:ghey:

 

That's fine. I kinda figured. No effect on our friendship.

 

Good

 

If anything brought us closer.
So you're picking yours up today then?

 

they had an 04 Berlina at the local dealer last year for $22k and it had 90k miles

dealers will ask what dumbfucks will pay. and How often do you walk on to a Honda Dealer lot and see an S2k.. much less one with low miles?

they'll set the price high, and haggle, and still make some interest and fees.

its a dealer!

 

I bitched out. The timing just isn't right, even though I kept telling myself that it was. I'm still searching and trying to learn as much as possible, but it'll probably be next year until it actually happens.

This is the car I was going to call mine yesterday: http://winstonsalem.craigslist.org/cto/5009560911.html

I'm heartbroken

 

All good man, if the timing isn't right .. it isn't right. You have the wifey's approval, that IMHO is the hardest part.

S2000s will always be here.

 

Beautiful car, would have been a great example to have. There will be more that come up though so no worries. Keep your eyes open and pounce when you find an exceptional deal.

 

Tyler. You know what you're doing.
We trust you. We'll just be here tempting you with our S's in the meantime. :devil:

 

Sorry no pics, but I saw a S2000 CR the other evening. I had completely forgotten about them. So sweet.
:ibcoolstorybro:

 

Ironically, I don't care much for the looks of the CR>

 

Thanks for the support everyone.

I was wide awake until nearly 5am on Saturday second guessing the purchase. If I was feeling that crappy about it without even seeing the car, it wasn't meant to be. I want it, I REALLY do, but I can't justify the financial burden right now. I took a pretty big hit with buying a house two months ago and I'm still trying to rebuild and get back to where I was.

The right car will come along at the right time. I just need to be patient. Maybe I can find a LBP after all

J, maybe you can find another one in March and I can get yours

 

Me either, it looks like a riced out S2000 even though it's factory.

 

Really!? I love the CR front bumper with the GT wing in the back.

 

Noooooooooooooooooo

 

Looks sweet on the track, looks extremely uncle ben's on the street.

 

One of my s2k friends rocks that set up. I go to the canyons with him a lot. Looks and sounds super fast. haha He's actually a very good driver. 2:00 at Buttonwillow.

 

I actually don't mind the front bumper lip...but the GT wing, even though I know it's functional...

 

CR lip looks way better in person, for some reason

 

And that does look awesome...on a track. On the street it's a bit 2fast2furious for my tastes but, IMO, my tastes are extremely conservative.

 

Yes, sir!

It does look super aggressive on the street. Whenever I drive somewhere with my friends with the GT wings, literally everyone on the street looks at the car. Every single person. haha

 

Well, I guess it does have it's place...
and I can understand needing the downforce. I guess since I don't track...

 

Oh, no worries, bro. You won't need it because you can't push it to anywhere close to the limit.

hehehehe

 

Definitely don't need it for just DDing. It actually kills your gas efficiency. LOL

 

That was a rare find with low mileage. Like everyone said, there is always a car for sale. Kudos to making the smarter decision even if it isn't the fun one at times.

I've been trying to pick up my friends S2k for over a year now but he won't sell. I took one around the track for a few laps and just realized how much fun it is. But now the question becomes to keep it bone stock and enjoy it or fully convert it and have fun.... It's GPW over red with 15,000 kms..first owner. He's been looking at other cars so hopefully my patience pays off.

 

Being smart isn't always fun

I really wanted it. Hell, I still do. I keep second guessing myself However, I know waiting is the right decision in the long run.

 

if it affects your MPG, then it must be doing something right!!

 

agreed. and certainly not stock.
with some better wheels and a slight drop they start to grow on me.

also this.
some of my favorite S2ks I've seen were non-CR AP2s with just the CR lip and the drop top...

especially in Berlina.

 

You must love Dennis' then!

 

don't tell me how to live!

 

If you want to convert it to go track it then I'd recommend finding one with higher miles and in less pristine condition and therefore lower cost too. If you're going to leave it stock and keep it for a higher value then buy the low mile, bone stock car and enjoy it the way Honda designed it to be. No reason to take a garage queen and mod it right away when you can find other cars that need mods.

JMO.

 

SamDoe speaks da troof.

If it's mint, keep it mint. It's still PLENTY of fun to drive in stock form and it will be worth waaaaaay more in the long run if kept pretty. That color combination in itself is highly sought after.

If you want to mod, buy a higher mileage one. Shit happens at the track. Don't destroy a perfect example car. Modding may increase the fun factor, but it hurts your pocket in more ways than one.

 

I have a high mileage, well maintained, modded one though...
is that good? or bad?

 

1 mile from my god damn house Anyone have $27k I can borrow and never return

2000 Honda S2000 , $26,998 - Cars.com

 

werd.

I haven't decided what to do yet when it gets to the 150-170k range though.

do I just stop driving it and take it out occasionally, or do I give it a Vikings death and start to track it hard until she's laid to rest?

it just hit 120k and its running super healthy and clean. but all good things come to an end. and im not sure how to go about it with the S lol.

 

as much as I love AP1's, there is a low low mileage Ap2 to be had for that price.

hell, you could get a CR for that price.

and as mentioned before.. something that old with that low of miles would spark my interest on the all the rubber seals and gaskets. how long did it sit etc.?

 

Ya I guess you'll never know how much it was driven.

Again the question is for something that clean do you leave it alone / keep for a collectable

 

Just continue doing whatever it is you do with it now? I wouldn't change my habits according to miles but if one wants to buy a car specifically to mod in order to track and autoX, there's no reason to buy a low mileage pristine example when you're going to change it all up and run it hard. You can save a lot of money buy getting a 60-80k mile example for less money and doing the work you're going to do anyway. Flip side, find one with a good engine, trans, diff but needing suspension/brake work and start from there. Get it for cheap and replace the stuff you were going to anyway.

^ I'm sure that's what the PO was doing. I bet this was owned by some old guy who bought it and just let it be because it was a little much for him to drive a lot. I'm guessing he's no longer able to keep it (or isn't around anymore) and his family sold it to the dealership.
