AP1 With 496 Miles Is What Dreams Are Made Of
By Brett Foote

It's been years since you could buy a new S2000. But this barely used AP1 is your next best bet.

And yet someone has already modded it with painted calipers, I'm sure those will look great in about 6 months on the road lol

Also I might point out this may be a case where where less miles may not necessary be good. Depending on what are buying the car for...this car is probably best suited to be sold to another collector. Unless the car was stored property I'm wondering if the car has just been sitting around for the last 15 years and the internal plastic or rubber parts are starting to deteriorate....

Certainly a consideration. Friend of mine is in the market for another s2k and found an 05 with less then 15k miles on it for 25k. The 3rd/current owner hasn't had it registered in 4 years, and has been sitting in his garage for 7 with same oil and gas in the car. Needless to say my buddy passed on it. Really unfortunate. Cars needs to be driven regularly, or specific care needs to be given if they aren't.

An '00 would do even better IMHO.

So if you paid $32k in '02 and get $37K 15 years later you lost at least a little money

But you got to drive a whole 34 miles a year.

I’m also curious about how it was stored all those years. The interior shot shows some wear marks (driver’s side)on the leather which is interesting.
