I understand that you dont care for a vette but all I ask is you go test drive one before writing it off

 

well think about this what salesmen in there right mind is going to let a 19 take a vette for a test drive unless he has cash in hand?

 

A salesman that wants to sell a car period. Dress right and go in their like you own the goddamn place and you may be shocked with how they treat you. I went to a mitsu dealer like 3 years ago wanting to test drive a Evo. Now I know for a fact that I can afford to get one and I could then as I have both the money in the bank and shocking credit ratings for a person my age but they said they were going to need to write all the papers up, run my credit, and have me sign a couple things before they would let me test the Evo out. I told them to stick it and that they just lost the sale because of that stupid ****. He then went and got the keys and a dealer tag lol. Just let them know your not there to take a joy ride and be honest with them.

 

Same thing happend to my dad a couple of years ago when he was out buying a truck. He came to a car lot in his old 83 rustang and damn sales man wouldn't pay attention or let him test drive a truck that was on ramps... stupid salesman lost a buyer

 

Yea cars are everywhere, dont let one snobby *** salesman turn you off because on a car like that they are losing like a $1000 to $2000 commision so **** em

 

wait a min, why is the s2000 discontinued, ur breakin my heart here cause i planned to buy onei n the next 1 to 2 years

 

I had somewhat of a similiar situation at the Mitzu dealership 3 years ago. I wanted to test drive an Evo and thats when I had my twin turbo 300ZX. I went in there with the attitude that I was very interested in purchasing an Evo and of course they said they would have to run a credit report to let me take it out. Even back then I had good credit and was making good money so I was fine with that. Well we get outside and are talking about the Evo and he asks if I could trade anything in. I point to my 300ZX and start telling him about thefairly newrebuilt engine, manual tranny, and turbos. Then I tell him all the aftermarket parts I have put on there. He then asks me what the year is and the mileage. I tell him its a 90 with a little over 120k and he says with the year and mileage he could only give me 500 bucks trade in. I look at him with a surprised look and said "Are you serious? I have put thousands of dollars into this car rebuilding it and blue book has this car in horrible conditionlisted at least 7000". I walked away from him and got in my Z and took off with enough speed so he could hear the turbos and blow-off valves. If hes going to try to lowball me that much and show me little respect I'm not going to even deal with him. ReallyI only wanted a joy ride

 

They dont sale worth a crap, Miata's are every bit the car the S2K is(no matter if Honda fans want to admit it or not) plus it is/was $4000 to $6000 cheaper. True the S2k is more true to the sprts car roots than any other Honda being a 2 seater front engine rear wheel drive convertable but compared to other true sports cars it simply is not a good value. If they were to offer it with a removable hard top and the RDX engine for about $3000 or so cheaper it would be a world beater but they dont/didn't and in the end it is a under powered car with a lack of torque, space, the gas milage on them actually sucks, and atleast IMO the dash/interior design is absolutly retarded.

 

I would say that too if I drove a Corvette.

Formost Civic owner's, an s2000 is a nice upgrade. Either way, the Z is a nice car and if that's what you want, go for it.

 

It has nothing to do with what I drive. Even a civic owner needs to weigh their options because you are either going to buy a performance car that performs and gives you a good return on your investment as far as performance for the dollor or you are going to buy a car simply because it is a Honda. Like I said even though I drive a Vette I would not shy away from buying a Miata for it's abilities. There is a reason it is one of the if not the longest produced car in it's segment.
