Default 9600 miles and counting!









Picked up this one owner in November of last year for $24k. I’ve put less than 150 miles on her since taking ownership. Now that Spring has sprung I’m sure I’ll put on another 150 by the end of the year.

The car looks very clean. You get an amazing deal! Check your coolant as the reserve tank looks empty.

I sold my Vette last Summer and wanted to get back into a S2000. I had an AP1 in my early 20’s that I sold and I’m now in my early 40’s. That being said, I always knew I would be back. I’d been actively looking for about 4 months when this one came up for sale. The guy traded it in a Benz dealership in St. Louis. I got the email via CarGurus the day it hit the market and I put down a deposit the same day. I live about an hour outside of St. Louis so there was no way I was going to let this one slip through my fingers.

Thanks for sharing.

WOW you really scored on that car. Seriously! LBP is one of the most sought after colors and not to mention, you have a very low mileage 06+ AP2. I would have bought that car in a heart beat at $24k. Congrats! I'm glad there are still dealers pricing S2000's fairly for people to afford... There are crazy dealers out there that are asking unreasonable amounts of money for these cars now...

Just as a reference, here's a car that closely resembles yours. And this is priced really high, more miles than yours and still sold.

I actually saw that post on s2ki when the member posted it. I remember thinking how nice the car was. I’ll be the first to tell you that I got extremly lucky to find this car. They were asking $26k and I was able to get them down a little. While it’s not a 100 mile AP1 that you’ll see on BaT, it is the best example of an all original AP2 that I’ve seen locally. The car came with an OEM dust cover, two sets of OEM floor mats, one set is still in plastic. The previous owner also had a 3M clear bra on the front bumper, headlights, hood, side mirrors, door sills and door edge. The car has zero dents, dings or swirl marks. It even smells new. I wonder if he was a member here.
