He said intelligent comments.

It was mentioned the only thing he feels is a true concrete advantage over an AP1 is the AP2 retainers vs weaker ( but not weak ) AP1 retainers.

Changes, and true differences/advantages/improvements are completely different. Let's keep this intelligent.

I would not be afraid to own an S2000 with > 100,000 miles. Maintenance records, and the big picture of the person I am buying it from are equally as important.

Definitely not money pits at all if it was maintained. Fluids are key really. If the diff, trans and engine oil was changed frequently and the car was treated right, I would buy the car that I thought was a better buy regarding the big picture TCO.

 

What is your budget? Here is one kinda near my house. http://sarasota.craigslist.org/cto/2991696014.html

 

Wow this one looks pretty good! It's actually on the top side of my budget but that could always be negotiable. It's a bit far for a "check it out" trip so it's difficult...but it's very comparable to the low-mileage one I'm looking at!

 

Thanks man! I'm actually interested in a 100% stock car, wheels and all. This is my 3rd time returning to the S2k world and I've become somewhat of a purist when it comes to this car...which is nothing like the way it used to be when I had my first S2000. What AP2 upgrades does yours have? Also, could you check out the one on Craigs for me?

 

It has the 04-05 red/black two tone seats, one new Ap2 headlight, front and rear bumpers, Ap2 exhaust tips. I also had a set of Ap2v2's, but recently sold them. As for the Craigslist car, u can call him and I can meet up with him in Venice.

 

Awesome. Thanks man...he did not provide a telephone number so I've emailed him. Let's see if/when he replies. Thanks again!

 

My "Ap1". Wheels and black windshield tape are both gone.

 

Your car looks very sharp man...I really like it, I just wish it were 100% stock cosmetically. I do have a friend looking for an S2k as well, so I will definitely show him your car.

 

Damn they are a lot more expensive this time of year. I got my 02 with 68k miles in winter for 10k. 2 previous owners and all the maintenance records.

 

Not a problem. I wanted a GPW S2000 but with the prices they are asking, I'd rather keep what I have. I don't think its worth it to pay anywhere from $5-9k on top of what I get for my car, just because I'm not crazy about the color. That money could go towards a supercharger. Anyway, LOL, find out about that car and see if he can shoot a short walk a round video of it and then LMK.
