Color - I could have easily gotten a Silverstone many times over by the time I finally found a GPW at a price I liked.

I paid more for the 2002 White/Red combo. I still don't regret it as I think it makes the car look classier/more expensive/ more exotic.

But condition was my #1 priority. It took forever to find what I wanted.

Condition was the primary factors in deciding, but finding one in Suzuka Blue sinched the deal. Getting a fair deal with an online advertised price was nice too.

Had to be color. If Honda offered me $1K cheaper on the color that I don't like... I won't buy it.

Buy new and get the color you want.
But not the engine I (& many others) want!

Color was my #1 priority. If it wasnt black, I wasn't interested. There were a ton of silver and yellow cars around here on the market, but I'm glad I held out for the car I bought.

I had to get the car in mint condition. That's especially tough given how people like to beat the crap out of this car. I plan to drive this thing forever.

That was my #1 reason for buying new, something I promised never to do.

Lucky for me, I actually wanted silverstone so finding one was really easy.

I also bought during February, so the price was right.

Condition was my #1, by price was a big factor too. I originally wanted GPW, but Suzuka is unique and beautiful; I'm much happier with it when I see it next to GPW S2Ks.

All are important. For me, I wanted either an NFR or Berlina at the right price. I waited until I found the right owner to buy from at the right price with the right color.

I think Price and condition goes together

when i got my s, price/condition>color

i could care less what color it is.

Before the carhunt, i want a silverstone with red interior, but needless to say, it's hard to find.

i ended up seeing alot of berlina black and yellow and finally brough the first silverstone i saw
