33k for a 2008 Honda 2000?!?
Can't tell if you're trolling or not. It's an s2000 in great condition, with 20k miles in Grand Prix white, with white te37s, oem hardtop, and kwv3s. Sounds pretty fair to me.
Not trolling, his name is M3forum, their depreciation is real. Mad real.

How about contacting a local media outlet in LA and telling them your story? I know that the local TV stations in NYC all have a consumer advocate.

Used to have a s2000 and moved on to the bmw world. Saw this on the bmw forum/jalopnik. Hope the buyer gets everything he originally paid for. Good luck!

Looks like both of you don't know your stuff. Kbb has the car at a little over 23k. This is without the extra parts. Keep in mind people typically pay out the a$$ for gpw, so that kbb price is the floor for a stock example. That's some "mad real" facts for you.

I wonder if it's real. I don' know how to tell a real Facebook page from a troll page, but if it is their real page, I've got to wonder why Paragon wouldn't just delete their page, instead of leaving it up for people to bad mouth them and for them to respond in such a foolish way.

The Jalopnik article said that the seller isn't the manager and doesn't work at Paragon, he's just a friend of the owner. Jalopnik said the real manager of Paragon was very upset and felt very bad about the whole situation. If that's so, and that's Paragon's real Facebook page, and they're going to leave it up, why isn't there something like an open letter to the car community politely and professionally explaining their side of the story? And not just on Facebook, why haven't they come onto this site and others to discuss this openly?

My depreciation comment was pretty clearly in reference to M3forum and the depreciation of M3's, I was defending the price of the S2000. Was actually looking at m3's the other day, 2009s are like 30ish k on autotrader with pretty low mileage, bottom dropped out of those e90's. Amazing car though.

Looks like its cheaper over in CA as I'm getting this price, 25.5k in excellent condition, under my zip code.

ex-owner, also local to Paragon (I probably drive past it bi-weekly).

the only "s2ki" shop around these neighborhoods is Elton's Raceline in San Gabriel... anywho, it looks like the 2 parties are talking through lawyers though, which is absolutely bads**t crazy considering the relative low cost of the 2 items missing, but hey, at this point, it's a matter of principle, I suppose.
