What is wrong with it?

I think that was the one that the two guys owned and there were some cosmetic and mechanical issues that weren't disclosed to a potential buyer that flew out to meet them. There's a thread about it somewhere in this forum.

Here is the thread:
https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/115...e__p__24027207
I recently went to look at this car and can confirm everything that I've seen posted minus the vibration. I can also confirm that it does in fact have the original CR suspension on it.
Mechanically the car is in good shape but it's a cosmetic mess. I think since it's a CR people's expectations are high especially based on the price it's listed for. I did make an offer after talking with my friend that owns a body shop. He sat on the phone with me while I was at the dealership and he priced out a complete tear down/respray and replacing most of the plastic/rubber trim along with the front bumper. He came up with a price of $4k at his cost. I took what I was willing to pay for the car minus the $4k and made an offer. They are still calling me from time to time but we will see what happens.
The biggest issue that I could find with car was the shoddy windshield replacement job. If I end up buying it I would replace the windshield with proper OEM glass.
Most everything else is in decent shape. Issues with the seat wear etc are non relevant to me as it's typical of a car that's been driven. The chassis and bones are in good shape and really that's the most important part as everything else can easily be remedied.

There is a lot of work to be done on that car. Its not worth the asking price or no where close to it. Its been sitting for a month or more now.. There is a reason why its sitting for so long.
If I bought that car I would replace the following:
1) axles, it had spacers on it, not sure why maybe it was modded once. The car pulls to the left noticeably, who knows while replacing the axles will you uncover more problems with the drivetrain? You are chancing it with the drive train to uncover more issues, trying to be aware and cautious.
2) replace tires back to extreme performance tires that came from the factory, the v12s arent cutting it
3) hardtop rattles like no tomorrow, will need to be fixed (may be an easy fit)
4) Front windshield back to oem and weather stripping
5) When I saw the shocks I could barely read out the numbers on the rear 52610 I thought cr shocks started with 52620 but it appears they were 52610 that got discontinued, any idea how you confirmed the shocks are original cr yip? When the car's suspension was modified I got worried the prior owners might have done a switcharoo. The suspension makes a lot of noises on that car.
6) there are dents scratches around the car which Im sure a pdr guy can correct.
I liked the clutch, seems like the prior owner may have put in a nice exedy stage 1 clutch (not sure though it grabbed good).
It is a great car, unfortunately saying it requires only a lot of small things would be untrue, for me anyways...
Keep in mind that the car was previously privately listed and was about to sell for 24,500 but looks like the buyer and seller couldnt agree to 24,000 and the car ended up being traded in. Im pretty sure that it was traded in for much less than that as well.
Hopefully this helps someone.

That car was originally listed around 24,500 but no one bought it, and now it's at the dealers hands at $29,000+

My budget for a CR is $35-$40k. I'm confident that I can remedy all of the issues that you have listed within that price range if they accept my offer. We will see if the dealer comes down to my price. They seem to be calling me once a week to check in.
I do feel that the previous seller miss represented the car and that the guy who flew out to see it should be upset.
