Why is everybody trying to sell theirs? =) That's not good! From a new buyer's perspective, I should be hearing, I'll NEVER sell this car because its so reliable, fun, powerful, etc.

Well, if anybody is serious, I'm looking to spend about $35000-36000. I'm trying to find the cheapest one in Toronto.

Heh then it won't be mine.

Why would I sell? I dunno I'm just toying with the idea. I have bigger things on the horizon and having a car I can only drive part of the year hampers it I guess.

I think the only way you're going to get cheap is with a lot of miles. I think Bonk might be selling his for around 36k.

this is the 1st winter i drive my S, since i bought it this summer (used 01, 15k KM, $40K). i live in london, there arn't many snowplow truck here. most of the streets are covered w/ snow or ice at the bottom and snow on top. have to drive really slow w/ the S and make slow turns. tail kinda shakes when accelerating from a stop. anyway, i did undercoat & rust prof for my S, so won't be any damage by salt.

There are a couple of '00 on sale on the autotrader for $36k ,w/ only 20k km so its not totally impossible.

If I get a used s2k from a non-Honda dealer, can I just drive into any Honda dealer and ask them to take care of all the TSBs (providing that the VIN# of that car hasn't had its TSBs done)? and would this be all free of charge?

Hyper,

Yep, i've been watching the autotrader daily as well. One time I even saw one for $33k!

The question you asked was going to be my next one... does anybody know the answer to his question??

We wait for winter to end and post on this board. It won't be long now before this thread has nothing to do with the original topic...

Like eveyone says, PM Bonk or Comets (they are bothers) and ask about Bonk's car. He has left the country and was selling his car.

BTW, you may want to consider a car WITHOUT all the TSBs done. Then you can get them done at your pace... ie closer to the end of the warranty period.

Just bought an s2k and recently joined s2k online. I'm just trying to figure out how to post messages on this site. It's nice to there are some fellow s2k owners near by. I'm from cambridge.
