I am looking at buying an S2000, I have approximately 14k to spend, what sort of car can i get for that price? age? condition etc.

I would also appreciate some advise on the running costs - I do about 300 miles a week approximate fuel costs, service costs etc.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Anyone? i just want to know whether the car is going to be financially relaible, i do not want to buy one and find out i cant afford to look after it properly.

 

Hate to ask the question but is that pounds or dollars? As far as costs go MPG is about 25-29 depending on how you drive. Set of 4 tires every 18K (about $700) miles. Just normal maintenance. Nothing special.

 

Yeah, 14K U.S. is going to get you an older, high-mileage basketcase if you can even find one. 24K U.S will give you some very nice choices. If it's been treated well and serviced properly, you shouldn't have too many surprises with one in that range. Good luck.

 

Pounds, if possible how many miles to

 

Just a thought, but if you haven't already, maybe post these questions in the UK forum. They've probably already done the currency conversions and such and have a better idea of what the market holds there for the amount you're spending.

 

Sorry this is the first time i have used this forum, i will try that

 

If you can only spend 14000$ on an s-2000 and are worried about running costs you really may be getting in over your head.I'm not trying to be a dick, just being honest.

 

14,000 pounds, not USD. This equates to 24,336.19 USD.
