Uh... either they are stolen or you are misinformed about the price, no salvaged s2000, even one that rolled over 50 times wont sell for 1800$. No way in hell.

As long as there are titles to both vehicles to verify they are legit, the engine isn't blown, and you look over the cars, what needs to be done, and what it will cost, and the price for both is $1800, then why not.

I just have a feeling when all is said and done you'll end up spending as much as buying a used one to try and make one.

I'd buy them both, and sell parts for profit.

If it were me I'd strip it and sell everything on it. You will make good profit off of selling bumpers and stuff. Even if you pay 800, if a bumper is in good condition I would think it could go for 150-200? So on and so on. You could then afford a good used s2k or find another salvaged one and fix it up with good mods.
Keep what you wanted from the 2 other cars. If the interior is intact, seats will grab you like 700+ easy haha.

In this case stripped equals theft recovery. As in everything worth value on the Ebay...I mean the black market, was removed (lights, dash, seats, steering wheel, air bags, etc.).

According the yard with that yellow S2000, the actual cash value of the car is $12,875. Two more days until bidding closes.

I hear ya guys i been looking at the car myself and im still thinking about getting it regardless of the matter....hell if it runs me alittle more than the bidding price it's still a work in progress... I really intend on getting a S2000 and this way seems like the quickest and most affordable way to go about it, I know people that can do the upholstery and the electrical in the car but if they are asking anything more than the bidding price when i get it then that's a different story.
