Ok what do you think I should get.

both are 2002 S2000s

both are silver / black int

I’m going to get the warantee extention on them both. (7yr/100k)

one has 48K miles, no warranty, newish tires, in Northern NJ for 17500

one has 19k miles, warranty till april 2006, newish tires, in New Hampshire (near boston) for 19,500  
[http://www.nsxprime.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58795](http://www.nsxprime.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58795)

i can afford either, but I’m just wondering if it is worth buying the one with lower miles.

Just wondering your input.

I’d do the lower mileage one. For one, you have an extra 30,000 miles of warranty. Second, it’s a sports car… how do you think it has been driven for those miles?  
30,000 extra miles, also means that many more miles of road dings, stone marks, and seat and interior wear.

second one… most likely baby’ed and driven on sunny days…

but it could have been a weekend driven car = autox

but still, it still has a warrenty and you will go through tires in a month anyways, espically if you let me drive it 😉

30k less miles for a measly 2g’s? come on, I think you knew the answer before you asked.

taken from the 2nd one:

"Adult owned and not abused. Excellent condition, inside and out. Never smoked in, never seen winter and rarely rain. "

i think thats all you need. just make sure theres no discoloration from the bra. it would bother the piss out of me, if there was any.

plus it states he was an NSX owner for 8 years. so you know that he knows his cars, his hondas, and how to drive them.

and can you wait til 2006 to buy the extended warranty? save yourself a little money right away?

for sure. 30k is definitely worth $2k. in fact, I’m surprised there isn’t a bigger price difference.

$19,5 is still a really good deal and it’s got miles that suggest it was at least put away for winters or taken care of to some degree. i would pay more for less miles in this case since it is significant
