well, I looked at 2 in NJ today at some shady used car dealer....ugh.
The condition of these two s2ks made me physically ill.

The yellow one had a horrible paint job cracking off all over, cloudy headlights, a broken taillight, loose spoiler, white junk all over the top, and messed up wheels. They wanted $10k for that one.

The red one was in slightly better shape, but had a plastic top and was just kinda ragged all around. They wanted $12,995 for that one.
Both cars looked like they hadn't seen a wax job in years and both were missing the "s2000" on the fenders...

On the way home I called the dealer of the original s back. We talked. We made a deal.
I picked it up 2 hours later.


I love it.

it was a little less than $11

it's an 01 so I doubt the defroster works (no button?) but I don't really care cuz I have too much fun top down

I'm glad I got yellow...It was Spa, GPW, or NFR....Spa won

Everytime someone posts up a car they have found people say it is only worth 9k, 10k, 11k, but if it is a member on here selling the same exact car they are told to price it at 12k, 14k, 16k.

Just because you are a member of this site does not make your car worth a 30-50% premium.

You got a good deal and was lucky enough to get the best color. Welcome fellow Spa owner!
