It is ubsolutely mint, has never seen winter. The vehicle has almost brand new rear tires (bridgstone RE01R). Only Mobil 1 Synthetic Oil used.

I will ignore any low ball offers. Serious inquiries only. Thanks!

OR!

2001 Spa
79,000kms
18,900
5Zigen 18" wheels with Toyo Proxes T1R tires (Also comes with stock Ap1 wheels and tires, so I can sell these, too.)
And the part that;s making me want it... It comes with an OEM hard top.

The thing about the hard top is that I can sell it for 2500+ dollars so I'd get the car for 16,400. OR keep the hardtop because this will be my daily and will be driven through 4-6 months of Ontario winters. I also just realized I can sell the hard top to buy a winter beater instead and save my S2000 from the harsh weather

And here's his/her ad description:
*Car is in excellent condition and never been in an accident and has it's original factory paint.
*Has never been winter driven and always stored indoors.
*Is a Canadian vehicle.
*Comes with set of 5 Zigen 18"wheels with Toyo Proxes T1R tires.
*Also includes set of original rims and tires.
*Comes with Factory Aluminum Hardtop. (A $4500 option in 2001)
*Serviced at dealer since originally purchased.
*Drives perfectly
*Interior is in flawless condition with virtually no leather seat wear.

Give me some ideas. I was thinking of offering the NFR 16,900-17,000 and offering the Spa 18,000-18,500.

Both cars are in southern Ontario, so only a 3 and a half hour drive from where I am and I can go check both out at once, but I want to see what you guys think before I do that.

Thanks.

 

I would not sell the Hard top...and buy the first choice.

 

Both colors are attention getters thats for sure.

Whilst the NFR has fewer K's, it's marginally older and has the plastic rear window, which makes the Spa with a HT a much better proposition.

You do need to see them for yourself to make the decision, but on the above, I'd take the Spa.

 

I like attention, I like getting looks and standing out in a crowd or traffic. Both look incredible from the pictures.

And I why wouldn't you sell the hardtop, yet you're saying the NFR is a better buy.

 

By the car of the most gentle driver, probably the oldest driver, & probably the car with the lowest mileage.

 

Red one.

 

So far that's 3 for the NFR(I'm assuming he's an older fellow because it's stock and has low kms) and one for the Spa.

Remember that the hardtop can be used for winter driving, or sold for a winter beater. I can even use the stock ap1 wheels for my winter wheels.

The spa after taxes, and selling the hard top and 5zigen wheels will cost me around 17,500.
The NFR after taxes will cost me 19,200.

 

Another vote for the NFR. The hardtop and other extras are enticing, but when it comes down to it I'd always take the one with lower mileage. And it's MUCH lower.

 

Personally I wouldn't worry so much about mileage. I didn't when I bought my Spa AP1 and it's only had minor issues up to it's current 102K miles (bad plugs, bad cat, bad clutch master cylinder). The extra set of wheels and hardtop will be very useful if you get into AutoX or track days. And the price is lower with all these goodies. I could be wrong, but I think MY 00 had some minor issues that were resolved in MY 01, like the snap oversteer tendency.

If it were me, I'd go with the Spa. But you should buy which car suits you more.


And I'm not color biased haha. My favorite color is Silverstone with the red interior, but I couldn't find one and needed to get a car in a set time frame, so I "settled" for a Spa.

 

I would consider both of those to be very low mileage for their years. I think the 2001 is the better option with the extras (especially considering where you are). However, since it seems to be a younger driver and was probably either modified or even tracked a bit, you might want to get it checked out first (or at least look at the service history he/she could provide).

First and foremost though, take a drive and see it in person. You might end up liking one color over the other anyway, especially since they are both good deals.

Good luck!
