Hi everyone. I've been snooping around the site for about a week or two now. I'm looking to buy an early ('00-'02) S2000 with less than 70k miles. I am trying to sell/trade my 2005 Nissan Titan SE CrewCab with 27,000 miles on it for a lower payment. I would like to get one for less then $15,000. Is that doable? I've had a hard time finding one in my area Auburn, AL. I am also in the northern georgia area (Gwinnett/Buford) a good bit because of family. My friends say I'm being a little too picky because I'm looking for such a specific S2000. The only colors I'm not interested in is light blue and red (interior or exterior). Can you guys give a few pointers on locating one and things to make sure of before buying? Thanks in advance for your time!

 

well considering I have the best color s2k (RED), nope!! lol
Autotrader..and such

remember to check part numbers..every body part has a number..make sure they match!!

 

Thanks ITS, My Titan is Red Brawn! I just want a change. Where do you look for Numbers?

 

Bump for more opinions/imput.

 

Welcome to the site.

It is possible to find an S2000 for around $15,000, however with your specific criteria (red or blue less than 70000 miles) it may take a little longer to find it. I looked for a white S2000 for three to four months (in my local area only) and got inpatient and went for my second choice. The very next week there were 3 white S2000's in the paper . Good luck with your search and make sure you get what you want. BTW - I don't regret my second choice at all.

 

Thanks for your insight! Red and blue are the only colors I'm not looking for. It is kind of a deal for me to get kind of what I'm looking for this time around. Which is bad because this car purchase has the tightest budget. My first car was a 2003 Honda Accord 4cyl. The whole time I had it I was happy except that I wish I would have held out for the V6. The next was my titan. I love it but I wish it was black or grey (and less expensive!).

I did a kbb search on an 00' S2000 with 65,000 and came up with a private party price of $14,570. So hopefully I can find one for that or a little cheaper. My wife and I are about to try something a little tuff for us. She is going to stay home and I am going to be the bread winner. I'm 24 and she is 23. We want to have kids in a couple of years. That is why I'm looking for a car that will be a good bit cheaper than the Titan and a lot more fun to drive! I doesn't have to be too practical because she has a four door sedan so we take her car for trips now. Its a 4cyl. So I need something just to get to work and back. Oh yeah, and to put a smile on my face while doing it!

 

I've heard a few different members say to expect to pay less for an S2000 in the winter. How much less for the same vehicle are we talking about? I know it wont be an exact number, but just to get an idea. Thanks!

Yes, winter can be better. I think your pricing is very reasonable, whip. You should be able to get an 01 with around that mileage for that price.

Good luck!

 

Thanks guys, this is what I wanted to hear! A lot of the S2000s I've seen lately where overpriced in my opinion.
