hello everyone.

i am seriosuly considering picking up an s2k at the moment. the one i have found is:
-2002 with 61xxx
-clean carfax
-female driven
-black on black
-needs nothing

the car looks and drives great, i talked the lady down to 14.5k.

my question for you guys is....is this a good deal?

what am i going to expect when owning this?

any insight/personal experience is seriously helpful.

Thanks!

 

I think it's a great deal! Well below KBB, and you say it's in great condition. What to expect? I bought MY02 with 42500 for 19K last year. I changed all fluids within a month. New tires within 2 months. Not one issue, but I did buy it with a paint problem on the rear bumper, just never fixed it. No one sees it but me.

Take it through all the curves, and redline it! You'll be happy you bought it. I year later....I still only drive mine on weekends if at that, but I love it nonetheless. Make sure you check your oil religiously. It can burn some oil...But it's normal!

 

yeah i cannot pass up the deal. mine will also have some minor paint blemishes, but only i will know. looks like i will be picking the car up monday so i will let you guys know how it goes!


i live in the albany area part of the year and attend school in buffalo area. anyone else from around these parts?

 

Check out the Regional forums and look for Upstate NY. People with S2000s in that area will post more often in that section of the site.

 

That's a screaming deal you got. As others have said, watch the oil. And the rain, especially if you are running certain types of tires.

 

That is one hell of a deal.
