Whats going on guys..
well in the search for another s2000 to replace my MINT 02 NFR i sold. I am searching for another one and, i came across an 02 SS for 7000 with 170k Miles. Clean title No accidents and runs good all claimed by the owner. I am not one to worry about miles or anything im a tech so i know what to look for of course. My question is i see some owners here over 200k Miles. Is this a smart decision to buy a car with so many miles? Only cons are the miles and i really didnt want silver but for the price i mean i could get another OEM hardtop, Suspension, Wheels and, maybe go ARMY GREEN ..so please chime in lmk what your opinions are.....thanks

 

If you have reservations about it then look for another. These days deals shouldn't be too hard to come by.

 

well basically my previous s2000 was MINT. I dont wanna spend that kind of money again. So im actually trying to find a theft recovery for a great price. Im gonna check the car out and see the condition idk miles dont really bother me anymore. The private party value is about 7-8300k so its fairly priced for the mileage

 

Go look at it, go drive it... you're a tech after all. You will be running into parts wearing out though, so keep that in mind.

 

where are you located? i know someone selling an S for a good price

 

Orlando

 

well i would do the services asap. tranny, diff fluid. i would proly change the coolant, water pump and a full tune up. i would like to do a compression check before though. i wont buy it if i cant do that.

 

It all depends on your cash flow. If you don't want to spend much up front, but are okay with purchasing parts (differentials, mounts, suspension, etc.) and the associated down time for the car, then go for it.

I personally wouldn't if:
1. It was my only car
2. I was planning on putting more than 12k miles per year on it.

 

I wouldn't. You can find an S with ~90k miles for $8-9000 if you shop around. I would spend the extra cash for half the miles. If the car was $5000 at 170k, I would say go for it.

 

i have another car. i was just planning on getting a 12k car and taking a small loan for 4k thats all i need. thats alot of miles and yea eventually stuff is gonna wear out. i proly should wait i just want another one so bad...should of never sold the one i had geeez biting me in the ass now i tell ya...thanks guys
