how many miles on the car and how much did u pay for it if uu dont mind
Just now at 42k on the odo.
Paid 25. Not a bargain but I am OK with the deal.
All VINs match. new top, new tires. Got a clean car fax and AutoWave (Reputable Honda/Accura only shop) here in Huntington Beach gave it their blessing.
Thanks for inquiring.
Was it from a dealer or private party? A bit pricey imo. I saw a 2006 laguna blue s2000 on craigslist recently listed for 23k and had 16k miles. Car looked clean too

Considering the car has a new top, I dont think it's unheard of. It's not the bargain of the century but it's certainly not bad.

Welcome to miles of smiles, Tazz

Sabre,
While $$ will always be of concern it is not my #1.
I found a nearly stock, low miles, tight, dry and sound S2000.
Besides its an automobile, meaning SSS will be spent. The only difference being sooner or later.

We are still getting accustomed to one another.
She seems good to run all day long at 4,ooo rpms.
At 5k, the voice starts to come thru and becomes happier.
When the Vtec kicks in at 6500.....holy crap! The little Tasmanian devil within this machine really emerges.
Love the excitement this car evokes.
And thanks for the positive shout out.

I have paid "too much" for several cars in my lifetime, and never regretted it. It's worth extra to get a clean, unmolested example in the timeframe you want. Keep it long enough, the "extra" amounts to a dollar a day. No big deal.

It takes a lot of patience to find a perfectly fine and unmolested S2000. I live in South Florida and it took me a while to find the one that I wanted.
As far as price, if the car makes you happy you wont regret it.
Welcome to the club.
