honda certified?

sclay115 · 08-06-2005, 09:12 AM

hi, name is steve and i'm shopping around for an s2000, having a heck of a time with two things, first: color! i live in florida so i'm thinking black might be a little warm, but i'm really liking the look, then i was thinking white with the red interior and i'm thinking that might be too hard to keep clean, oh the choices! but more importantly, i'm trying to decide if i should pay more for a honda certfied roadster as apposed to just buying one used without it. the price difference it seems is considerable, and i'm wondering if i should spend the extra to go with certified. i realize it only covers the powertrain, but would it be better to spend more and get lower mileage+warranty, or does it really matter? seeing as i could spend much less and get higher miles? i just need some input, i've driven both, one with 29k on it and one with 70k+, they feel the same, but obviously one is going to get to 100k+ much faster than the other. any problems i should be expecting? or am i looking at just another typical bulletproof honda?

thanks
steve

I'm not sure if it covers only powertrain or not. I recently bought a certified used S2000. The dealer told me it only covered powertrain, but when I go to Honda's website, they also said that there's an extra year of non power train warranty on certified vehicles.

You might want to ask them about this.

First of all. Black cars are the HARDEST to keep clean, and white cars do not show the dirt as much.
