congrats! I bought a '99 C2 last week myself. Triple the miles and 2/3 the price, similar condition. If I had found that car with the LN IMS retrofit and new clutch (which mine also had), I Would have been all over it for what you paid. I think that's a tremendous amount of car for $20K!! You can barely buy a used Accord with 30K miles for that!!

Are you driving it home? If so, and you need something around the halfway mark, feel free to write or call, several of us here just south of I-80...

Dude....nice! I just bought the exact same car, sans the awesome rims and 4 for $2500 less. Good deal.

About the service history...it's got 30k on it, who would expect a lengthy service history. Perform the 30k service, which includes plugs, oil, all filters, fuel pump filter. At the PPI have them drain/change transmission fluid and reach finger in around tray drain plug to look for the silver grease IMS...sigh.

Then buy it and drive the **** out of it!

Make sure that you get two working keys. ~$350 to get one, have it programed & cut.

Maybe I missed a posting saying he gave $20000 for the car as the video says "Less than $35000".. It's a gorgeous looking car with low mileage but not for $35000. That is unless he wanted to pay a large chunk of the mods done to the car.

the dealer add had a $24999 price and he said he got it $3K below that, so $22K. I was using "round" numbers with my $20K statement. Anyway - heck of a car and deal for $22K too, especially for a C4.

$22K is the price. They are installing new tires on it today, the dealer is picking up some of the cost.

I live tomorrow for MN for a meeting at 8 AM Friday morning, have a 2:30 PM flight out to Reno, arrive at 6:40 PM local time, I will either go pick the car up then, or wait until Saturday morning to pick it up.

I'm flying one of my high school buddies out there on Friday, we're going out Friday night and then spending three days driving it back! Should be fun!

That's a great deal especially from the Dealer. One side of me wonders if they are hiding anything about the car. Either way as stated previously, congrats.

Nice car. You'll enjoy owning an Aero car (if you're an extrovert) - they definitely catch eyes.

You almost steeled that car, what a great price with the miles and mods! Enjoy in good health, I just did doughnuts in my office parking lot in my c2 (on Pilot SS) in this years first snow; they are a blast.
