NADA = National Automobile Dealers Association
NADA Guide is what is used by many in the industry to determine value of vehicles.
So "nada average" would be the average value of a car according the the NADA guide.

Thanks rmurph nada average is significantly lower then kbb excellent on s2000s which is what most sellers think their cars are worth. So that makes it trickier

I found an S2000 for sale that is a little confusing. Why? Well the guy only wants $3000 for it. I don't know a whole lot about it other than it looks to be an AP1, is a salvage title, has a ticking noise(presumably from the engine), and may have had a front impact. With that said, the top works, has 76K miles, and it runs and drives. At $3000...is there any reason NOT to buy it even if it needs some work.

Hi guys, can I have opinions on this please!!!

DO i buy this car from a dealership, its in very nice condition would have a one years warrenty!!!, I have knocked price down some however it seems high mark up, it does appear to have nice body kit, is the kit and suspension worth it on this car??

Id likely do that my self and colour kit/suspension look very nice. Would this cost me a great deal to get a cheaper version of this car to look exactly same?? Is it worth the price

Is that damage in front of the passenger side rear wheel?

At $3000...if the body is straight...I'd buy it

I'm definitely torn about this one:

2002 Berlina black - ~180k miles

Private seller is asking $7,500, clear title

Exterior 9/10

Interior 9.5/10

Brand new soft top. New tires, spark plugs, windshield and battery. He just had it aligned, too.

It runs great and shifts flawlessly. Everything works like it should.

I guess my concern is the mileage. I know it was highway driven mostly...should 180k scare me away, or is this a good deal?

I'd appreciate some input, TIA

Hi, guys. I've been searching around for s2000's over the past couple months, and was just wondering if this one would be a good deal. It'd be a few hours drive, but all of them around here are minimum 13k. But, I would definitely be willing to drive for a better deal.
