Anyone Close to Performance Honda in Cincinnati?
They have a new 2009 black S2000 I'm interested in. Problem is I'm 500 miles away in Virginia. Can someone close by take a look at it for me? They told me it has 55 miles, with no damages, scratches, or dealer add ons. Main thing I'm looking for is no scratches, dents, ding, or anything like that. I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

OK, went over and looked at the car.........
Dealership was closed, so I couldn't get inside to look at the interior, but thru the window it looked great.
Car was dirty, so I could not see everything, rain/dust/dirt marks on car.
Almost looked like the car had been taken thru a car wash..... you will have to get rid of the marks caused by that..... shouldn't be a problem...
Front bumper.... passenger side... number of scratches..... looked like something had been drug over the bumper... may be able to get these out with some polish, or worst case, rubbing compound.
Front bumper... drivers side.... few scratches in a couple of areas, should be able to be rubbed out.
Drivers side mirror..... scratch that should be able to be rubbed out.... looks like somebody rubbed something against it.
Near drivers side door handle.... little scratch.... should be able to be rubbed out....
Rear bumper..... passenger side.... couple of scratches...... should be able to be rubbed out...
If the dealer detailed the car, I would hope they would they would take the time to make sure these scratches were taken care of..... none of them appear to have broken thru the paint to bare metal or plastic.
With all the dirt/rain stains, could not tell if there were any imperfections in the horizontal surfaces (hood, etc)....
Did not see any dings, dents, chipped paint anywhere on the car.
Needs one valve stem cap!
Rims.... no road rash... will need to be cleaned as they have rust on them from the rotors rusting (seems to be normal for this car!)....
No dealer installed options are on the car.... no added cost sticker on the car, just the factory sticker....
The car seems to be in pretty good shape..... i tried to take some pic's of the scratches, but my phone does not want to cooperate with my pc and transfer them.... i will try at work tomorrow to do that....
If you want to pass along the list of potential issues (scratches) and see if the dealer will detail the car, I will stop by again to look at it...
Let me know,
Mike

WOW....Mike, next time I need someone to go look at a car for me YOU are the man...
They would have wondered WTF is that guy doing out there laying on the ground looking under the car from all angles!
They did have a used yellow one there if you are in the market!
