Went to see a 2005 with 47k miles today. Car vibrated at idle, had numerous dings, but worst of all had a scratch from the right front fender all the way across the door and ended at the rear wheel well. Almost bald rear tires. For $17,500 + $399 dealer fee I think not!!! Arggg

 

OK

 

Sorry to vent. It was a 200 mile trip to check it out.

 

You'd think used S2000s, being a performance machine targeted toward enthusiasts, would overall be in better condition than something like a used Malibu for instance. Unfortunately, as you've seen, that's not really the case. People don't know how to take care of cars. To make matters worse, where do cars receive the poorest treatment? Dealers.

Good luck in your search. Your car is out there.

 

Bummer. At least I know mine is holding value!

I used to have this mentality as well. People treat them as disposable items.

It seems like the wealthier they are, the worst they maintain.

 

The march goes on. I will find the S I want to keep forever.

Patience "Grass Hopper".....

 

Damn. I am pretty sure I would be pissed off as well.

 

What I hate is when dealers think the buyer wouldn't notice these things when they see it. Why not just disclose it in the first place.

This is why I don't buy cars that are far away. It's a gamble and I rather not waste time and effort on a dealer that lied to me.

 

I thought that too, untill I saw this local ITR forsale.



Look at the rear arches, full of rust.
