- Tien coilover suspension
- Painted carbon fiber hood
- Brand new tires

What do you think?
I have been browsing the market for awhile now and that seems like a decent deal. I normally like to buy a car with everything stock, that doesn't mean they didn't drive the hell out of it but a less likely chance other then someone doing upgrades. Just make sure the car is in good condition before you do anything. Seems a tad high on the miles for the price though. Good luck either way. White is fairly rare to find.

Okay i'm trying to choose which s2000 I should buy. Both cars are in an auction and both have damages. One is RED 2003 w/12000 miles and the other is SILVER 2005 w/ around 51000 miles. The discreption for the 2005 one says that it wont start and there doesnt seem to any dash lights. The 2003 ones start and runs.

Here are the pictures of the 2005 one.


AS you can see the dash is BLANK..

Here are the pictures of the 2003 one w/12000 miles



So which you think would be a better choice? Thanks a bunch!

seems like it be the best idea to get a car that runs not only that it has only 12,000 miles

I wouldn't buy the 2nd one. Theres suspension damage, and my fear would be that the car will never drive straight again.

I was in the market to pick up a used S2k from a private party. I've narrowed my selection to about 3-4 cars. I just wanted to get an idea of what to offer these sellers. Any help or advice would be appreciated. By the way, I'm in CA.

1. 2005 silver w/blk interior ~40k miles. Asking price is $16.5k
2. 2007 gray w/blk&red interior ~17k miles. Asking Price is $22.5k
3. 2007 laguna blue w/blk interior ~23k miles. Asking price is $22k
4. 2007 yellow w/blk interior ~42k miles. Asking price is $21.8k

All these cars are in good condition (no dents or scratches on paint) with clean carfax reports.

Thanks guys!

Thanks for the recommendation. Basically narrowed it down to #2 and #1. It's only because the price difference is pretty big between the two cars I only have room for one car in the garage. It's either the s2000 or my other car that I don't want to really park outside. Hmm...decisions decisions...
