i called up a few honda dealers and got as low as $1010.. booked it in for friday and got a loan car for $15 so i'm happy!

[JN7]

age, thanks for the offer but i just got the car and its logbook is completed correctly at every 10,000km so i think i'll keep it that way.
maybe every 5,000km i'll hit you up. where are you from?

Age I sent you a pm about getting a service

[yellows2k]

when i owned my s2k, i was paying $160 for the minors every 10k, and i paid about $600 from a dealer for the 40k km.
as soon as warranty expired, i took it to a honda independent. paid $100 for the minors and he charged me $450 for the majors 40k km. before i sold the car with 117k km on it, i completed the 120k km service and it cost me $450. this was about 4 years ago.
stealership will rob u blind

it's all about the Honda stamp for me

[yellows2k]

any reason for that flawed logic? honestly, do u think it will add to the value of the car? think about it realistically. u pay at least $500 more for every 40k km service, so thats $1500 there, u pay at least $100 more for the minors, so thats another $1000 there. so ur $2500 behind to start with.
next, if 2 similar s2000 were on the market, then the one that sells for a higher price will be the one that is in better condition. service history if complete makes little effect on the resale. especially if its done by a well known workshop, in fact, most people trust a well known independent than stealers.
anyway, its ur money, piss it away however u want. im jsut trying to help people save some cash

Yellow makes quite a good point there

I'm in nsw, I live in Sydney now but I used to live in Newcastle.
I had my s2k serviced at kloster Honda under warranty period but went to David brown automotive in Gateshead, Dave brown was the head mech at klosters for 11 years but opened his own workshop with ken walker, a ford mech
