Default Just Test Drove a 2002

I just felt so one with the road. It feels so tight. Hard to describe. Pure minimal car.

Now the question is, do I buy it? It's a 2002 with 39k miles, pure stock, 1 owner, garaged.

Buyer wants 14.9k. Going to offer 12.8ish.

Only CON I felt was it sometimes wanted to pull to the right. Not sure if it was the road doing that though.

EDIT: Just did a carfax, everything checked out fine. Now I really want this car.

Doubt the seller will go down that much, I would offer 13.5 - 14 if I were you if it was in excellent condition... if there are flaws make sure to bring them up to show why you are offering such a low offer

S2ks are sensitive to tire pressure. If you felt it trying to go one way under acceleration and another way under braking, one tire is probably a little higher than another, easy enough to fix.

Where are you located? A low mileage AP1 like that will poor a little more if it is in great shape. I would love to have a 2002-03 with that many miles on it. Mine has 80k.

If you were close, I would sell you mine for $12k

It's a great year. And the pull is something small...that year with so little miles...WOW! I bought mine 4 years ago with 42K! I have put on 10 since owning it, I will sell mine to you, but not for 12.8k!

Good luck!

Sounds like a good buy. I paid $14,900 for my 05, but it's a beater compared to the garaged and babied cars. I kinda wish I would have bought an older but better cared for car now.

I'm still on the fence. I already have a civic. A part of me is telling me you don need a second car.
