Thanks for all the answers! I've driven it for on commute since mon (it's about 35 mi each way), in both open and traffic-y conditions. A few more obs: 1. The seats are decent, but not as snug as I'd like. I do like the lumbar support, but am finding that the seat doesn't go quite as low as...

Hi all, I posted about nine months ago, asking you all about how the MS3 is, and what the transition would be like for me, coming from an '04 S2k. Well, this past wkend I ended up purchasing an '09 grey GT with 12k on it from craigslist, after missing a few opportunities. It has limo tint on...

current deal: 20k for a mgm sport. I was hoping for white, but no more.

Thanks for the info on the warranty stuff. I'm also betting the warranty on the actual parts aren't all that better than any aftermarket stuff too. Maybe then I'll just go all aftermarket instead, depending on the price I can get.

I'm still looking.... 20,500 for an MGM, but I'm shooting for a cwp - there's a few in NOrCal; I'm hoping for 20,200 or under... someone is supposed to call me today on it. Here's to hoping!

Thread from the dead.... An update. There are no more white sport MS3s in SoCal, but there's a few in NorCal. I can definitely get a red or mgm for 20,200, but am trying to get the same price for the white. As part of the deal, I'm trying to get them to give me a discount on the MSCAI and...

There's a guy on sk2i.com who's pushing 430+ hp with a new head gakset and tune, and still is fine. Not sure where the upper limit is.

If you can get a CR for 28k new, that's a really good deal. S2ks generally hold decent value, but it's been out for over 9 yrs now, the price range varies significantly on the age and mileage, as on any car. Cheapest I've seen for an '00 is $9k, but it had been pretty well worn. Highest price...

is this an '08 or '08.5? kinda interested but I'm trying to stay away from black (SoCal summers not so great for black). Would you be interested in a trade for an '04 Honda S2000?

see my first post... essentially I need more room, and hatches are very versatile. Maybe next week after things slow down for me I can get a bit more serious about looking.

Thanks! Yeah, the guy who is selling his black '08 MS3 GT has decided to keep it, so I'm back to looking around. While not my choice of colors, it might have worked out money-wise, with a nearly straight trade, saving on sales tax, negotiations and such. I might end up with a blue MS3, or a...

btw, here's an update: I called some dealerships. There's 3 '08s left in the local area; two are at Galpin, and everyone says they have bad service and aren't solid. There's also one in Palm Springs, about 80 miles from me. It's a red gt with nav (all the ones at galpin are red too), and I...

Metro Gray - thanks for the additional info - it's good to know! ON the short term I'm thinking about a camping trip locally, and later a road trip to Lake Tahoe for some mtn biking - I think the MS3 might do better than my S... kinda sad about that...

ok, will do. In the meantime, I'll edit the thread as a wtb only.

More so that I don't want to give it up... I really enjoy it. Car prices in general are depressed, so I'd guess that s2k prices might even be lower (kind of a luxury to have a 2 seater with a small trunk), but with summer coming up many people want verts. Might be a wash...
