Hey what's up? im also looking at a used s2k at the moment......$21k for '01 w/ less than 30k miles? sounds like decent deals..... i've got an '01 lined up for around $23k w/ 39k miles, but that's a 1 owner car from a honda dealer and is "certified used". is this through a dealer or is it through private sale? i'd be careful about private sales....bring a friend/mechanic who knows s2k's, just to be safe.

i bought a 01 w/ 42K about a month ago from a dealer. $22K, but it came with the lip, spoiler, and strakes, which cost over $1K.

Speaking from experience, it's MUCH quicker using the search function than waiting for people to read your post and formulate a response. Just a heads up.
