[B]I have been lurking for a while trying to decided between an MR2, a Miata or the S2000. I saw a Yellow S2000 in Home depot carpark last weekend and my mind was made up.
Unfortunately I havent been having much luck finding an S2000 (2002 model) in the Bay area. My local dealer wants $40,000 and all the dealers that I have phoned within a 200 mile radius that will sell for MRSP say that their 2002 allocations are spoken for. Dealers are definitely willing to haggle on Miatas (below invoice) and on MR2's but they seem very snobby about S2000's.

Thanks for all the advice. I am going to wait a while until the right deal comes along. I get a feeling with the way the economy is going that the days of crazy S2000 pricing may be going away. In the mean time I can always get my adrenaline rush from my Ninja.
I had a ride in a TVR CEREBA the other week now everything feels slow (appart from the Ninja) :-)
Webgod that is an awesome looking silver you have. Very Very nice.

I'm new to the board too. Must be due to all this rain we've been having here in the Bay Area. I current have no S2000 and think I want one as a second car. I am very patient (like even a year would be OK; after all, it IS a second car) and am willing to wait in line assuming there is a line I can get on somewhere within 200 miles that will sell me one for MSRP. Any suggestions? I suppose it's a bit premature to be thinking color choices, but right now my #1 choice is silver with a red/black interior. Anyone have any suggestions on color? I'll bet everyone has some opinion!
