Default About to buy a S2K Is this a good price?

Hey guys like the title said I have finally decided to upgrade from my civic si to a s2000. I have found two locally and am just curious what you guys thought about the pricing.

One choice (My first choice) is a 2006 Silverstone S2k with red/black interior with 38k miles for $18500. Is that a good price?

The other is a Formula Red 2006 S2k with 29k miles with black interior for $19500, is this a good price?

thanks for the help guys hopefully if all goes well i will be posting pics of my new s2k soon

Depending on the overall condition those prices are what I would expect of a real pristine S2000. Are these dealer held vehicles or private party?

Both are good prices, I paid 22.5k for a 2006, in like new condition, 6 mos. ago, look at the condition of the drivers seat, if it is beaten down, to replace just the drivers seat bottom is $1,300, I replaced mine. A fat lady with sweaty legs and "french tip" nails was the previous owner of my car, she beat the hell outa my seat.

I would check out the NFR one first. Nice color, and lower miles. Try to talk them down to $18k - $19k

Remember, inspect the car VERY well before you make a decision.

so you guys think that 18k is fair for the red one? interesting so what would be fair for the silverstone? honestly i like the silverstone color better but am willing to go either way..(red just attracts more cop attention and the town i live in has a few jerk cops who look for that kind of stuff)

If you would rather have the silver one, I would try to talk them down to $17,500 for it. If not, try to meet him halfway and try $18k.
