i work for an insurance company.

a guy came in wanting insurance for his new s2000

i look at his papers and i see he paid $51,xxx for it.

i am just commenting that I think that is REALLY high for a s2000...and that the poor guy got had by the dealership. unless im wrong....and thats a normal price...but i looked at www.edmunds.com and it said dealer price was somethin like 28 or 30k

An S2K should run in the low-mid 30's. MSRP on a 2005 is $33,150. That thing better be slammed, turboed, and extremely modded or else that guy got taken to the cleaners.

there could be some aftermarket goodies with that car, and it may be possible he had a huge negative equity he carried over for it.

he is showing you are photo after mod parts are taken off, so that you won't mark his car as "modified".

He is trying to get lower insurance, obviously. I won't be surprised at all.

My guess would be he traded in a car that he owed money on therefore the amount needed to pay off his old car would be tacked on to the new car.If this is the case the guy is an idiot anways.

We talked them down to $28k for mine which is on a lease. My modded 03 m/t was worth $11,000.

Each dealership gets a certain amount of Tookays so towards the end of the year is when its hott.

I'm guessing he traded in a huge SUV he bought before the gas crunch and traded it in for a new S2000.

5 options
1) hes a retard
2) hes hiding some money
3) hes so rich he doesnt care
4) its modded to all hell and was smart to show you a stock pic.
5) He financed with WFS(western financial services) and they are going to make the boys *** fall out.
