Default Might be trading my SC400 for a S2000?

Well guys, I might be trading my SC400 for a 2001 Honda S2000 if the deals goes through. I've had my eyes on the S2000 ever since it first came out and I've always wanted a convertable, but I wanted one that was fun to drive, 2 seater roadster, that had some nice horsepower without mods. I was trying to get the S2000 and keep my SC400 at the same time but I have to start building my credit fsat and my credit card is not doing fast enough. By paying something big like a car loan will help me get there faster and look better whenever they pull up my credit. Besides, after paying off the S2000, I will be able to buy a my dream lexus vehicle, the SC430!!! If all goes well, I will really, really miss my SC400.

But if things don't turn out as plan, then I will not trade in my SC400. Wish me the best of luck guys. I'm going to the dealer tomorrow!!

2001 Silver S2000
44k
$18,400

I think that's a really good deal!!! Let me know what you guys think.

Good luck. I almost picked up a yellow S2000 about 2 months ago. Heard about a sweet deal from a friend of mine (car was priced at $23,000 but dealership couldn't sell it and had dropped it down to $18,500). Hauled *** down there as soon as I heard about it but they had sold it about 2 hours before I got there

Should be a fun car but you're gonna miss the tourque. I hear you have to get these babies up to around 6,000-7,000 rpm before you start making any power. Either way, let us know.

I tried looking, but this was one of the best deal that I found so far that's near by. If insurance (full coverage) is around $300, I will be ok. Insurance quote for both the sc400 and s2k was around $300-$350 from 5 seperate insurance agencies. I don't think the s2k will be more than $350. I really want this car badly, so bad, I can't even sleep right now. I just hope everything works out today. Just hope that I will be driving the s2k back home tonight!!!
