Theres so few S2000s out there its difficult to imagine a lot people selling stolen parts for them.
Like the others said, get a VIN # to be sure. There are people out there that have upgraded to an aftermarket kit and do have the parts laying around.

In my experience, its rare to find a panel, or bumper from a junk dealer (for any car) that you can just slap on (they're junked for a reason). Interior stuff may be ok, but I wouldn't want to be sitting in seats that someone died in.

There probably are a lot of stolen chrysler parts out there. The advice of checking the VIN# is a good one. The only problem is with the seats since they don't have a VIN# on them. Look what happened to cdelena.
Yeah. VIN numbers are very important. Each character in the VIN number has a significant meaning. My friend can't remember his'. He failed to give his number to the parts department and he didn't receive his exhaust.

There's close to 60,000 sold in North America now, so I'd say there's enough for a good aftermarket in used and stolen parts now.
