Suzuka wasn't offered in 06 in US either if I remember correctly ...

Anyway, the car looks good!

Thanks TYM2FLY

Yeah, I'm not sure the blue on blue is for me. It's not exactly what I want so I think I'll hold out until what I want comes along. It was a joy to drive though.

I wasn't ever really in bad shape. I went to the gym frequently and ran every now and then. I played soccer for the base team so it's not like I just sat on my arse all day doing nothing. Oh well, my lung collapsed for some reason..

Good luck in your hunt.

I grew up in Columbia and took my S2000 on a 3500 mile roadtrip back there last summer. It was a lot of fun, and I noticed there really werent that many S2000s running around.

There is an '07 silverstone/red/black with 6K miles. Offer him 26,500 and you've got a good car for a great price.

Anyway, I would prefer something with the red/black interior. Which will probably be the primary thing I'm looking for aesthetically when I get one. Exterior colour would be secondary.
I'd look at the mechanical condition and previous ownership just as much as color. Even if the color is right, if the car has had a rough previous owner, I'd pass on it. Just read this forum to see what some do to their S2000s.

Naturally. That blue one had all the service records too. I'm not sure if I mentioned that or not. That would be a good selling point as well.

Thanks rnye. I may give that chap a call.

That's definitely 04 or 05. Seriously a lot of dealers have no idea regarding S2000. There was a dealer listing an S2000 as 04 with AP1 headlights. It was basically an AP1 with bunch of AP2 conversion. You can even tell by the seats.

Are the speakers in the seat more noticable than the year without them?? In terms on sound quality from the stereo?.... I just think the seats without the speakers just look better
