Default Cheapest time to buy a S2000?

With the snowfall and more to come, is now the best time to buy a sports car like the Honda S2000 financially? I'm looking in getting an used AP1 in the near future and would like to hear some input from S2Ki. Thanks guys and drive safely.

Find an owner stranded on the side of the road because he/she can't drive their car any further. Offer to buy the car, by taking over their loan.

I'd say buy either now, since a bunch of people really want to get rid of theirs (snow makes people forget how much top down rules). Or maybe late january/early february if you buy from a dealer. Most likely they've had the car sitting there since the fall and are sick of it taking up space.

I have absolutely no research to back this up, just taking a guess

I bought mine two years ago end of Nov......was cold and rainy.

I'm telling you first hand, I was able to walk out there with the car, at my price. I know I got a deal since they dealer wasn't too happy either way. I think they didn't make much on my sale.

I just told the salesman," good luck finding someone who is willing to pay more for this used convertible than the new cars you sell in the lot( Dodge dealer) at the start of winter.

We agreed on my price.

I purchased my used S2000 in November two years ago. I figured they were excitied to get rid of it before winter because they sat there for two hours while I rejected thier first 4 or 5 counter-offers.
