I think the deal is fair. You might look at it this way- You are getting basically a new car since the milage is so low. On the other hand, for about $5k more you could own a brand new '07.
If you consider that the '07 is probably worth (used) a couple grand more than the '05 at resale, the difference is now about $3k.
The question now is "how important in three thousand dollars to you"?
For $3k you could add a hardtop or a nice audio set-up or other mods that would add to the pleasure of owning the '05. Or perhaps owning a spankin' new '07 really seems to be the better deal.
IMO, either choice is a good choice and is more a question of how important is that $3k difference?

I would recommend jumping all over that if thats the color you want. The low miles will help you in the resale value if you decide to sell it.

give him 25K in cash, force the guy to sign the pink slip, grab the keys from his hand, and peel out of his driveway like you stole it....because you just did.

Good deal. Even better if you can get it for $25 even. For ref, I got mine a few months ago with 23.8k with the same extras as yours. Only diff was mine had 6k miles

I looked for S2000s for a LONG time before I bought mine and I noticed a very definite trend. NFRs seem to go for considerably less than all other colors (Suzuka included).

That said, you can get one for a really good deal. Of course this car is a good deal - look at the miles. Jump on if its what you were looking for.

That's a great deal IMO. I would definitely jump on it. I bought one for $28k a year ago with 2k miles just like this from an individual and saved $5k over a new '06, not to mention, no sales tax.

Thats an awesome deal! It seems too good to be true... Make sure there is nothing wrong AT ALL! I got my AP1 for 10 but ended up being 11,300 to get everything perfect, without a rebuild.
