Default 06 S2K 143K Miles

Hey All,

Was looking at this 2006 S2000 with 143k. Asking price is $12,500.
Looks awesome from the picture and sounds great in the video.
Only issue is it was rear ended twice on 07/21/2014 and 08/24/2015.
What are your thoughts? I plan on replacing my 2010 TL SHAWD with this and Drive the Ridgeline in the winter.




07/21/2014:
Accident reported
Vehicle involved in a rear-end collision
Involving rear impact
with another motor vehicle
Moderate damage reported
Airbags did not deploy

08/24/2015
Accident reported

Very minor damage reported

Go check it out in person. It looks like it was properly repaired.

Yeah have an inspection done to look for any frame damage. Look the the rear arches you should see little circles where the panels were spot welded together (may have to move the piece of trim from the fender lip). If you don't see those then there is bondo and probably more repair work than there should be for minor accidents. Main visual thing I see if those lug nuts are not OEM and should be replaced with OEM lugs. Besides that it looks pretty clean even for the high miles. Interior condition is something I always look at in a higher milage car since the drivers seat takes a beating.

Looks clean in the pictures. Does anyone know what that lip is under the factory lip?

If you do find frame issues, be aware this car is extremely sensitive to alignment; if the frame is off just a bit, it will never drive as it did out of the factory.
