Default I need info on buying a s2000

I have been really interested in buying a used s2000 and have been saving my money for awhile. Hopefully I will have enough by august. I want a 2000 and am expecting to pay around 22k for it. Does that sound right?
Also, what are some things I should know about the car-and whats the best color?
THanks

ok, now that i got that in there.... 22k might be around right for a 00' or 01' with a few miles on it. All s2k owners take care of their cars so i wouldn't worry about it's condition being too far off perfect. When you buy, ask what services it's had done relating to the drivetrain. All i can think of...

somethings I forgot:

Is it comfortable?
Is it fun to drive?
It will be my everyday driver, is that a problem?

I would expect to pay closer to $26-28K for a use S2000. It's fun, it's comfortable, and many people get by just fine using it as a daily driver. As for color, get the one that most excites you. If you want to stand out, get red or yellow. If you want to blend in, get silver, black or blue. If you want the most rare color, get white.

Just keep reading threads here to learn more about the car...

Also, ask to see all of the service records for the car. If you are able. You'll love it when you get it. Good luck Spiroba.
