Couldn't give you an answer without knowing the asking price.

 

Updated with the price; 11.5k is the asking price. KBB is 10.6k for a Good cond.

 

I'd be a little suspect about the valve job on such a vehicle. Personally I'd rather have a s2k that is in good mechanical condition on the original valvetrain. You can only cut so much material out of the valve seats, I'd like to maintain that margin for the future if needed. You never know how good of a valve job your getting either.

I was in the market for a used s2k last month, originally looking for a 2001 and ended up paying a bit more for a 2002. I'm glad I went that route as the 02+ models have lots of little upgrades over the 01's. Not that there is anything really wrong with an 01, but for a bit more dough you can get some decent upgrades by going with an 02+.

 

It's worth KBB or less. Personally I'd stay away from all that head work unless they have a receipt from a shop that you know does good work.

Like JFUSION I held out for an 02+. I would have considered an 00-01 with a glass rear window.

 

Ah, yea I agree with others. Setting aside my refusal to buy an S with that much work done to the engine, the asking price is far more than I'd be willing to pay.

 

This question is probably ask quite a few times, but recently I am in the market for a used S2000.

Really need some insight on the pricing. I probably can't afford the AP2s since they should cost at least 15K and up, so I was wondering hows the AP1s going for these days?

Thanks a lot.

 

Depends on what you're looking for.

I'd go for the 2002-2003 AP1 with

-Better ECU (Runs Leaner)
-Glass in the Top vs. Crappy Plastic
-Better Door Panels with Tweeters
-Bango Bolts Improved
-Better on Oil Consumption

(Compared to the 2000-2001 models)
Score these all day for 12 grandish depending on your area.

You can always upgrade to ap2 goodies later that. Nearly everything is interchangeable.

 

i'd say average is 12 g's, but i've been doing ALOT of searching and i've seen some as low as $9K

 

My advice is not to be afraid to spend a little more on a car with a clear service history. These cars can be expensive to repair, especially if moneyshifted.

 

i guess i just have to look harder. is price in cali higher?
