Adam is just being an ass.
I'm not saying I don't agree with the points, but I'm not taking his asking price or choices in mods personally, that's all.
It was just listed this morning. I get email notifications because I'm an idiot who likes getting teased
Call them up and ask them if it's still there. LBP and low miles...it'll get picked up really quick if it's in good shape with clean title.
There was one 2004 that popped up around me when I was looking in silverstone/black ~40k good shape for $18k at a Lexus dealership, went and checked it out the day it went online and it was sold before I could call the sales guy back. He told me it sold at $19k because there was a bidding war.
That's why I'm saying what I'm saying.
If you've made up your mind and love Laguna and low miles...forget what you think you know about what is reasonable to pay and spend that brand new civic money on your dream roadster. IF you have the money, duh.

I just drove by and its parked out back. The love for it is there but its just not practical. With the snow coming I wouldnt be able to drive it for 4-5 months anyway
Financially I can afford it but my income is better off paying students loans, rent/possible house, the TL and of course bud lights. If I were to get one it would be less expensive ($10-15k) early next spring, enjoy it for the summer then sell it for whatever. I wouldn't mind losing a g or two for a summer fling
they literally make a roof that goes down for anyone over 6 feet. The car was built for you, man! I won't say you'll have extra face, but if you're not chubby (I am)...I can't imagine an additional 4" height to be a deal breaker. You can look OVER the windshield.

The thing is- none of us really keeps a car forever. Not these days, anyway.
So you buy an overpriced s2000 for 25k. In two years, that s2000 can likely still fetch 23-25k, because, well, everyone wants a clean specimen (assuming it stays that way)
Or you go buy a new civic for 25k, and in two years it'll be worth 16k.
I would have one if I could fit inside it. But at 6'5" it just wont work.

I definitely don't fit and I'm 6'7". I'm just too long. If I could tilt the steering wheel, it'd be ok, but in the position it is in, I have very limited room to turn the wheel because my knees are in the way.
You're right about the roof though. It still clears my head, albeit just barely

If you lost $1k-$2k on driving a S2000 for the summer, it's because you crashed it or added 40k miles. The chances are you could probably sell it for what you bought it for or for a profit depending on how good of a deal it was.
That LBP for $25k is pretty much market value for a late model AP2 in that color. You'll find similar asking prices on s2ki for a similar car and those aren't even from a dealership.

You're right. It was more of an acceptance that if I was to lose any money I would be 100% ok with it.

I think you see where I'm going with this...
Honestly, I'm sort of confused where you're going. I can't tell if you're pro or against buying an overpriced s2k.. Sounds like pro but reads like against.
That's a fucking no brainer for me.. if i can drive a car for two years and get all my money back, why the hell not?! It's like a free rental!

I'm totally for. The general argument is that an s2k isn't worth the price it demands. And maybe so. But if you buy one, it's not like you're going to lose money on it, or at least, not much. Hell, you might even make money on it eventually.
The same can't be said about a new Civic. Many people would be like "oh, but it's a brand new car with brand new features and has warranty and blah blah blah", which is true, but drive it for 2 years and you lose a lot of value. The s2000 won't.
So while you may be overpaying for it, if you end up selling it a couple years down the road, you're not really losing anything, besides maybe what you paid to finance the car. That in itself would be a fraction of what a new Civic would depreciate.
Also, give me your credit card, raise your limit to about 28k (just in case) and I'll be back in a short while with something to make you happy (and no, it's not THAT kind of happy).
