Hey guys, new to the forum, advice needed as im looking to purchase a s2k
Hey guys,
So not too long ago a friend of mine bought an s2k, he let me take it for a spin and i fell in love with it. The v-tec is awesome!!!
Anyways im looking to purchase one and would like some advice in terms of what i should be looking for, and if theres anything in particular i should be taking extra caution in before purchasing.

Hmm, sorta but paying $25k for a lemon won't miraculously make it a peach.
The advice is good, in that if your budget is less than $25K best look elsewhere. But do a search of this forum for things to look out for. You're not the first to ask this question.

I was in your shoes for a few months until a few days ago - still giddy about picking it up first thing Monday morning! If you haven't read these, do read them and prepare a list for things to look out for whenever you go check out a car, and unless you're very lucky, you will be (like many others here can attest to) checking many, many cars before you settle on 'the one'. Don't rush it unless you absolutely need a car, it's worth the wait.

These 2 threads should give you all the information you need for what to look out for when purchasing. As for your budget, I was also working with the same and although cheaper is always more appealing, once you check out 5 or so of the 'cheap' ones (~17-20k), you'll really start to wonder what a nice one looks like
. I wouldn't say it has to be *at least* 25k , but somewhere around that mark slightly lower or higher depending on kilometers and condition (and of course what you're looking for) will net you a nice example if you keep an eye out.Also depending on where you're located, going interstate may also be a necessity to find a good one.
Good luck and happy hunting! Patience and having cash ready for when the opportunity presents itself will pay off big time.
