Default Should i buy?

I looked and test drove an 02 back/black s2k that have a reconstruction title. the guy is asking for 14.5k isn't really a bad deal, it has a full exhaust system, sound system, intake, clutch, and a few other mods. i can tell that the car had been rear ended before. the car has about 60k miles. and also he will give me all the stockparts that he saved up.


PS: i work at an body shop so i can fix most bodywork myself

Therer are plenty of S2000s with clean titles out there. I wouldn't buy it unless it was a ridiculously low price, like 8k$.

s2k's salvaged get a higher price than most. However, 14.5k vs about 18k tops that the car is worth clean? Unless the mods are worth a few grand to you, it's still not a good deal. I think the most you'll be able to sell it for the next day is about 12k, which is what I think is fair if it is fixed correctly.
