Let me start off with this:

Price of purchase 17.5k

http://reports.carpr...&nobuttons=true

Mods on the car:

Greddy 70 mm exhaust
Air intake
koni shocks ad h&r springs
strut bar
rays engineering c28 rims

This is the car proof of the car.

As you see you see 5 owners on the car right guys. already that was reason number one to not buy the car. + plus when my mechanic checked the engine it was smoky(driven hard)

Reason 2/

.

I bought the used car package today . My mechanic pointed out something I didn't see which i am very grateful for today.

He pointed out in the photos that this car was owned by leasing companies/rental businesses. I was 2 hours of purchasing this car untill he called me out and said don't buy it. Said the odometer was also tampered with. Because if you look with the last transaction with the owner to the current dealer you see in section 1. It says 77000km by xxx owner. Today the current odometer is 79806k . So for 1 1/2 half years he drove this car only 3000k you gotta be kidding me!

No more s2k for now. I think i saved myself thousands of dollars. Because he said the car would have been taken to the dealership very soon. Mainly what he wants to point out was this car was driven as a taxi and driven very hard. And the odometer was probably tampered with.

What are your thoughts guys? Smart move ?

None of the links you posted are working for me. An s2000 only being driven 3000km in 1.5 years is not unusual, many people only drive their s2k for short trips on the weekends for fun. I'm not sure what you mean by "when my mechanic checked the engine it was smoky", I'm assuming you mean he took it for a test drive and saw puffs of smoke (oil burning) from the exhaust. Did he perform a compression and leakdown check? In any case, good luck in your search for the right s2k.
