To be honest, I would have gone to check the vehicle out too if I was on an S2K hunt
Cosmetically it looks alright for a vehicle with this mileage

I went to see this car today. I pulled up around 12:30pm with my buddy clay, we hop out of my car stand around for a few seconds then a newer corolla pulls up with pretty bad front end damage (SKETCHY) then some guy walks out of the warehouse and introduces his self. I told him I saw his ad for the s2000 on craigslist and I was interested, he then points over to the car and tells me the diff is blown but he has his mechanic fixing it tomorrow. I walk over to take a look at the car and WOW all the body lines are way off and the driver door is hard to open he handed me the key to start it, and I asked how much he was asking as-is? He hit me with 11 thousand I couldn't help but to laugh and I told him my car must be worth 20k then. I handed the key back and told him good luck . I saw many other things wrong with the car such as the door jams,they were poorly repaired and painted. the car had 4 rear ap1 wheels on it, it was missing the exhaust tips and miscellaneous interior pieces . I offered him 5K cash and I came prepared but he told me the best he could do was 9k . oh well..
