Post Pics of New Car

Hello everyone my name is Dustin. I have been reading a LOT about the s2000, mostly on this forum, and have decided its time for me to finally get one. I found one about 6 hrs away from me that im interested in but a little nervous about. Its an 04 silver with the r/b interior and from the pics i have seen looks spotless. The seller has provided a carfax and the history looks good as well. It has 31k on the clock and they are only asking 18,900 for it. Does this sound too good to be true? Here is a link if you wish to check it out. Thanks for any input you may have. Hopefully one day soon, i will be able to post more on a car i actually own. Very excited!

Dustin

Here are the pics i took today out at white sands national monument. Enjoy!

It is quite a deal, but I do not think too good to be true. If they had it for around 15k-16k then I would be concerned. This however I think is just a good deal. I think you should jump on it, or at the very least check it out.

Not a bad deal. I just picked up an '05 silverstone color for $16,500. Few more miles than the one you are checking out (36k). This dealer bought the car (Cali lease return) on one of the days the stock market took a dump. He said nobody was at the auctions so he bought 32 cars and got a steal on them all (passed the savings on).

He had a few dings in the doors removed (paintless dent repair), the car looks pristine =).

Drive the car hard on the test drive and listen for any unusual sounds. I also like to examine the fenders (look for non-OEM) and check the undercarriage for any damage.

Good luck!

Be patient, there are lots of S out there. No need to rush into something that you aren't sure of. Good luck with it.

That price dosent seem to great to me. The lowest kbb price on the car is 16.9 the middle is 18.1 top is 19 something. It just seems like your paying i suppose a fair price? i usually get the bottom blue book price on the cars i buy. Its by no means to good to be true.

With it being so far away i would look around.

Am i missing something here...
