Default Newbie... Need some advice on AP2

Hey All,

Im new to the forum and to S2000's. I've always loved sports cars though and Im looking to get another. The forum is great and informative, and I don't know how I'll ever read all the is to go through, but I'm trying.

I'd like everyone's opinion on a 2004 Suzuka Blue that I'm going to look at today. It's basically stock, but looks to be in great condition. It has 41,000 miles on it. I've seen prices all over the place, but I'd rather ask here because Im sure everyone on the forum is a better judge of what's a fair price. What do y'all think is a good price? There's an almost identical one at another dealer farther away with less miles listed at $20,900. Thanks Everyone!

get the one with less miles..

thats a really good price for a 04..and if its "listed" as 20.900- im sure you can bring that down a bit more...

ive seen 04's go for a few grand more than what the dealer in your area is asking, so this is a "fair" price already.

If you are skeptic, check kbb.com for blue book value..

Good price for an 04. If they really are identical, go for the lower miles!

Well, I went and looked at it, and they had it "Red Tagged" at $20,900. This is the one with the higher miles, and they wouldn't budge a penny on the price. I offered them $20,900 OTD and they wouldn't take it. I'll probably go look at the other when I have time.

there are lots of deals with less than 40k...i would look for one maybe 20k or less and pay maybe a grand more...i notice that 04 with 40k and over is on the market for a long, long time...so be patient and you will be rewarded..i paid 22k for my 04 sebring/black interior with only 5k miles...on july 4th 2007...cant tell a difference from a brand new one..so i;m glad i did not purchase an 07..and pay 33 otd....hahahah
good luck on your search.

I would keep looking around, there are plenty of S2000's around for that price with half the miles.

Congrats and welcome! What kind of TLC does it need? Hopefully nothing too bad.
