As in, just the basics. Cloth, single cd player, non digital or HD radio, no dual climate, no heated seats. Doesn't have the illuminated kick plate. They even took out the floor mats. But i told them to put'em back in.

Yes i know they dont gain any value with low mileage, but it helps me with maintenance if they are lower mileage.

My dad has a 69 Superbee - i figured by the time i hit his age the Evo, s2k, 370z will be a classic by then. I should take long for the s2k to reach that, since they`ve been out for 10 years now. And the evo is a icon for most car enthusiast.

I'm a hater... A 4-door as an icon? Okay then....

I'd get rid of the S2K that is your own and the EVO. Keep the RSX for the DD.

Good luck getting the Z.

The Evo isn't an icon in the iconic sense of the collector car world. It is however an icon as cars go in the world of rally and having owned one, I can say the car (for being a 4 banger) is really jawdropping. It does actually have a pretty rich history behind it. It's no F40 but you know what I mean.

With soo many cars. you can't drive them all at the same time.

What are your plans for the Z? Do you just want it, just to want it?

Getting a base won't be a classic for a Z. You would want the Sport Touring with 19" fat wheels, illuminated kick plate, hand painted pin strip, window etching. Plus they are going to offer you all those extra options.
Unlimited Dent and Ding repair
Wheel and Tire coverage
Mechanical Protection + added warrenty
Skyway - gps tracker

So your going to have to take that into account if your going to put those extras on there.

S2k - Evo - Z what do you want to drive on the weekend? First thought, should be your choice to keep.

DON'T GET THE Z! I don't want you on the road

My favorite car is my Grand Prix White S2000 04. Ive only driven it 20,000 miles in 5 and half years of ownership. My wife and i commute together. We have a scheduling conflict.

The white s2k usually gets driven about 2-4 times a month.

The Blue s2000 gets driven 3 times a week by my wife. I drive the evo on Thursdays and Fridays. The RSX is our daily commuter if we are together.

I plan to get to drive the Z on Thursdays and Fridays. As i will be replacing my EVO. They all have their designated days to be driven... lol

Im very excited to get this car this week.

I didnt get the touring/sport because i am content with the base/sport. Dont really have a use for the heated seats i am in georgia. Plus the price difference was like $3000-3500. I usually change my sound system anyways. Planning on getting my own GPS double din on this car, plus Focal K2P or 165 VR powered by alpine`s pdx amps and maybe a JL sub. These is my set up for my two s2000`s.

Yellow ftw!

anyways just thought i`d let you guys know...

Dealership have agreed on selling their car for $29990 + $349.99 doc fee and $18.00 fee

Trading my Evo 9 MR to them for $18500 - i will use the $3000 from my equity for my down payment. Plus additional cash($5000) to keep my payment a little lower. By Trading my evo based on the difference i would only be paying $800+ on tax based. so about $31216-31500 depending exact taxes. Keep in mind $3000 from equity on the evo and $5000 down. So i might financing about 23500. About $440-$445 based on 5% from my credit union.

They car is a Base Chicane Yellow with Sport package with the illuminated door sills. comes with the floor mats and rear hatch crap. Thats it... I dont know if $29999 if invoice for a base/sport package. I will look at that thread.

I was going to pick up the car today but my credit union drop the ball on it. They wanted the exact figure for the car, no approximation. BS!!!

Either way first thing Monday i will get my credit union to release the check and i will pick up the car or they will deliver it to me. I hate buying from the dealership too much paper work / even with the credit union.

Oh okay, if it has the Sport package then this is a good deal. Got mine for $30800 back in March, same specs but white. Yellow is a premium color (limited 1st year color). I didn't care for the touring equipment either, actually prefer the cloth to the leather.

Click the "Paste Image" icon. Make sure you are viewing the URL of the image only (not the URL of the page containing the image(s), don't try to just copy and paste an image, that will not work.

I'm writing this because I don't have a Facebook account, don't want a facebook account, but I want to see this wild car collection of yours.

[matrix_square]

notice all of them have a flag on them... I wonder if y`all can guess it?







These pics were taken last November of last year. I didnt have the RSX type-S back then. The RSX typse is my daily driver now since we moved to Newnan from Midtown. I do drive a 100 miles round trip a day, so i needd something a little more comfortable and better gas mileage.


This picture came from the original owner. I have new pics of them on facebook, but for some reason the URL on facebook doesnt work here...
