Personally I think that's a bit high given the mileage. It's not outrageous though, if the rest of the car is in pretty good shape.

As i look through Craigslist, cars.com and AutoTrader daily, today i have found a high mileage S2k for 8k. It has 150xxx miles on it yes pretty high, im sure the seller can negotiate down as Kbb has it listed at around 7,225 in good condition but is this worth it as my first S? Im looking to get into one soon and thought this would be inexpensive and within two years i can just switch to a better, lowe mileage one. What you guys think?

121k miles is a lot. But s2000s are hondas. I had a s2000 at 135k, drove fine. But for that mileage, it's a okay price in my opinion. Paint is sick though.

I'm in the market for my first s2k, daily driver for when the sun is out, as well as autox

1. BB 03 94k miles. listed for 13k
Should be able to talk this one down to about 10.5 or 11k. New top, 4 OWNERS, main shaft, synchros on first and reverse were replaced recently at a honda dealership, new tires/brakes. Autocheck says 85, minor accident, might have been used as a rental/fleet car, had/has a lien on it. Owner says clear title, and when honda had the trans down, second and third gear looked like they had no race wear, but the owner is a used car salesman for enterprise by trade...


2. BB 00 9,000 miles (yeah you read that right)
1 owner, autocheck says do it, 15k VIN has it as one of first 700 cars made, so it wont have a lot of the my02-03 upgrades right?

It ended up selling on ebay for 14.45k
I couldnt pull the trigger. Sitting on 9k miles for 12 years? Too many unknowns, like if he changed fluids regularly or not. Still in the hunt.

IMO, that price would mostly reflect a collectors cost of placing this car in storage somewhere. The value would go down quickly if it were to be driven daily. A better choice would be a car with average miles on it at a lower price assuming your intent to drive it.
