You can always find a better deal..but do you want to take the time?

In this case you have....keep looking .

Sounds like a salvage going for that cheap to me . A year ago those specs would go for like 8-12k. Check the carfax, get a mechanic to check it out.

Brought my 07 S2K with 24000miles to local carmax to get it appraised to see how much my car still worth during this economy crisis. Surprisingly they're offering me 19K for my S2K? do u guys think it's a good deal?

It depends on if you want GPW or not - they can be hard to find used.
I hope that's the case when I work on unloading mine lol

Hey guys,

I'm interested in this particular s2k for sale but don't really know the going rate is for these vehicles. KBB is giving me a good indication, but I really don't know if the work done on the car is worth the extra +1k markup above KBB the seller is asking for.

I'd really appreciate some feedback on the specs + price:

AP1 2001, with ~75k

A new soft top (2 years)
New OEM Clutch + cromonly flywheel
new valve job + titanium valves, springs, retainers

new PCV valve
new timing chain tensioner
new MAP sensor
new knock sensor
hondata gasket
apex exhaust system
drive belt
OEM NGK laser platinum spark plugs
k&n air filter
new clutch slave cylinder
supposedly all OEM honda parts.

Any feedback would be great. Asking price is 11.5k
