hello all, i am new to this forum and would like some advice on what to look for when buying a used SK2. The car that i am look at is a 2002 sk2 with 105,XXX miles, seller is asking 10k, is that a fair price for a car with that milage, what should i look for when test driving the car and what should i ask the seller about Maintenince (ie, belts, fluids, etc.) any and all advice will be welcome and appreciated.

 

VIN #s !

 

*Make sure the Vin's are the same on all of the body panels.

 

for 10k i doubt all panels will be the same VIN's and truthfully, I would be focusing my attention more on the mechanical side. As long as the panels all line up decently and there are no huge gaps anywhere I wouldn't be worried.

If you were buying a mint my02 with like 10k miles then the original panels would be more important.

Just do a compression, leakdown test if possible and ask for service records. They should be available somewhere... previous owner or dealership computer.

10k on a mechanically sound s2k is the best $ you will ever spend entertaining yourself.

 

thank you for the replys. i will test drive it tomorrow and let you guys know how it goes.. i will surly look for all of the things you guys mention. thanks again !!

 

Thats alot of miles.......

Service records....
Clutch replacement.....?
Convertable top wear.....?

If it drives weird don't buy it , at that price i would be carful..

you could end up spending 5000 in repairs and then that 10,000 doesn't look so good.....Good luck
