For comparison's sake, this just popped up here in Portland. This strikes me as a fair deal, but even then it's $5K more and that's quite a difference. I'll admit the fact that the ad mentioning the "premium stereo" not just once but twice does raise some suspicion, lol.

2000 NFR S2000 all stock with 54K miles

I have to ask...what's premium about the wheels on that Portland car? Aren't they just stock 16s? Unless the seller means they're in "premium" condition. They certainly like the word premium.

Premium.

I think those dealers just put that because that's how it is listed on the Blue Book price. Premium everything. For the S2000, that is all that is listed so it MUST have premiums.

Is it me, or do the wheel arches look rolled and maybe pulled?

No idea on the specifics of the Portland car. I just popped up on craigslist last night and seemed relevant to this thread in that it was about as comparable as you can get to the car the OP purchased. The bottom line is that $13K is very little to pay for a super clean, low-mileage S2000 these days. I hope that it all works out well for you tremonti.

The fronts look like they've been pulled a little and the rear bumper edge is trimmed, the rears are probably rolled as well.

OP mentioned the seller offered enkei rpf1's to him, they were probably on the car.

probably, to fit those rpf1’s, you need a roll
