I paid $22K out the door for my laguna blue with less than 18,000 miles, from a Honda dealership. I didn't have to haggle for too long to get that price, either.

It helps to know the comparable S2000's currently for sale in the area at dealerships. You can use the comp prices to help you negotiate if they have the car you want but have overvalued it.

Thanks guys, so I guess I made a good decision. This car is a certified used from Honda. I even offered 25,700 cause I was tired and wanted a car and they still said no. I was shopping from 11 to about 6 when I saw the car. Good thing they didn't take my offer then. I've been wanting an s2000 for a while now and specifically that color too, but I was going to settle for a LBP but the LBP one I saw after the white one looked like shit. Trunk paint was dull, dings and scratches with rust around the body. But they were willing to let that one go for about 19000 OTD with 37000 miles. So if you guys know anyone selling a white one with black interior preferably ap2 model please let me know. Thanks.

Is this the white one at Anderson Honda? If so, they wouldn't go below $24k + t&l (which would be about $26750)

I suspect that they just took it in, but judging by the amount of interest it's generated (I looked at it last night and there were two other people looking at it) that it's gonna sell for close to asking.

The dealerships in the south bay have been tough. Larry Hopkins has 2 06s, a black and a red one. They are both fairly clean cars, although some dummy left them with the tops down so they are full of flower pedals The black one has a slit in the top (typical top wear) but they refused to fix it... stupid because it should be covered under warranty. It has new BFG A/S tires and the seat has a decent amount of wear on the outside bolster.

The red one is pretty clean, but the front bumper has been replaced, pretty sure it's been in a medium collision... probably no frame damage. It has a nice set of Dunlop Star Specs on it (225/255) and the wheels are in great shape, as well as the interior. I just don't like that it's had a new front bumper.

Yeah it is the one at Anderson. That car is in perfect condition. I spent about 2 hours that day with them trying to get them to come down but they wouldn't budge. I had cash for the down too. I was thinking about coming with the full amount in hand but I doubt that would make a difference.

kitwetzler how much did you get your S for if you don't mind me asking.

Ah, sorry, I sold my 06 for $27500 a few years ago Looking for another right now. I got it new for like $28500...

BTW, stay away from the 27k mile old Laguna blue 06 at Livermore honda. I drove all the way out there, and the douche bag sales guy didn't bother to tell me that it had been hit in the rear, hard enough to dent the bumper and push the bumper into the wheel. they tried to half ass fix it, but there is a really big gap on the driver's side fender - bumper.

I think the red one at Larry Hopkins is the cleanest one I've seen. I just don't think I can drive red because I'll end up getting tickets left and right.

That's the point! When I had my red E46 M3, I got tickets because the damn thing looked like it was going fast.

My silver Evo X GSR gets no attention at all, even dumped with a loud exhaust.

-Kit, who is about to give up on an s2000 and just get a twin turbo z4
