There are people on this site with 250k on their cars. So long as the internals are in good shape, I don't see what the big deal is. If you're serious, get the car checked out before you buy it.

Imagine paying $7300 for an S2000 with another 100k good miles on it. Talk about a steal.

 

^yeah IF you actually get that milage, it seems like a big gamble. You forget to remember that with that amount of milage the motor isnt the only thing to worry about. All aspects of the drivetrain, suspension componets being worn out, etc. Its not just 150k on the motor that is the issue

 

150k a lot? Whats the average life span of a honda like 275k? you must be rich or have never owned many hondas cause 150k is halfway through its life if well taken care of.

I bought a 2001 about a year ago - clean with just less than 100k miles. All stock (no mods, stock wheels, etc., etc., and the seats were in ALOT better shape. $9500.

I'd be a little concerned about how many owners this 2000 had over it's 150k miles, who did the various mods, how hard it has been driven, and all. The more hands that have been on it, the more likely it was abused somewhere.

A 10 year old car with 150k miles needs to be CHECKED THOROUGHLY. Otherwise expect nasty surprises.

Just my $0.02.

 

I'm with GT_NFR, it's probably a good deal for someone that wants an S2k and doesn't have 10k to spend.

 

My 00 GPW/black/red has 143K and is about 10X cleaner than that car. Verified the motor is good with a compression check and fluids changed religiously etc. I wouldn't let it go for less than 8. This looks like a bad deal, the car looks sort of beat.
