Ok, I found this one on cars.com
Here are some more pics I got after contacting the seller:
http://s1178.photobucket.com/home/rhomer131

$10k for a 3 owner 2004 with 35k miles. That is an incredible deal. It is so good that I think it is a total fraud. The seller says he is located in Atlanta GA. He also sent me a carfax report through e-mail with no link to check out on online which only furthers my suspicion.

What do you guys think of this? Any one recognize the car? Thanks.

Well man I've only had my S2k for alittle over a year, But ever since then ive been still looking at new ones to see what the prices currently are at. With out being able to see it in person and drive it and everything, and just going by miles and year i think thats a pretty reasonable price. If it was at a dealership it would probably be going for atleast $2000 more. Most I find with about 35-50k miles are usually around 16-17000. They usually all have been wrecked as well. I'd say go for it though. Make sure u like black cars, they may look really good clean w/ a fresh coat of wax, but personally its alot to take care of. Just don't settle for black if its not what u REALLY want. Ive made that mistake with some other cars....But good luck with your purchase

I think thats an awesome deal. I have the same year with major damage history and paid almost 4k more. Sorta jealous if its legite..lol. But If it is in fact legite thats way too good of a deal to pass up. Make sure its not stolen also...lol... u never know these days.

My s2k must be black cause I love the murdered out look.

just need to get in touch with the seller and I'm jumping on this as long as the carfax is clean and it passes my inspection and compression test.

What do you guys think about a 2000 Silverstone in immaculate shape with 47k miles for $13700 from a honda dealer? Blue Book is $15685. They wanted 16k for it but I got them down to $13700.

Edit: 2 owner and clean carfax.

Searching for a s2k

Does this seem like a good deal My link

I know that I could deduct from the price because the wheels are ap1 and it doesn't have the OEM steering wheel. Anything else you guys see that I can deduct? How much should I offer them or should I just pass on it?
