Default Newbie seeks advice shocker!

Hey guys new member first post. Recently sold my vx220 and have decided an s2k is the way to go, saw this one close to me and wondered since im new to the car if anyone could give me their opinions on it and any advice. I did notice that the s2000 badges looks to be in a different places on the wings compared to most other cars, is this a concern?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Barry

About 1000-2000 pounds more expensive than it should be, but otherwise looks like a good car. Appears to be a lot to chose from under 10,000 pounds.

The badges are in the wrong place, and to my eyes it looks like the paint doesn't quite match on the driver's side (wing to door, but could be the lighting). If you persue this car, I'd check it out very carefully. First thing to check would be if the VIN stickers are still on the wings (indicating that they are original), they should be under the bonnet towards the front of the wings. It does look as if this car may have been damaged, however.

That car has been repainted on the front left fender. The color is far off.

Not sure why you call them wings though - that's on the back of the car
