That's actually a very good price, assuming the car is clean and in original condition. If you search around the web you'll see seller's asking around 18-20k for low mileage AP1's.

I agree, there's a clean 02 GPW/red with ~40k miles in San Francisco who's pretty firm at $18k. Although that car has been sitting for a while. I would think if clean your car would go for at least $15k.

Thanks for the input guys. I'll try to offer him $12k and see if he accepts it. If not, I'll drive it away anyways

Is 17k for a 2005 Rio 60k miles in excellent stock condition a fair price for California? KBB prices for the area has been steadily dropping the past month and now lists it as 16.3k but I don't know how accurate those are for California where prices seem to vary quite a bit.

What's a fair price for an 03 bl/bl with under 10k miles, all stock and perfect?

Thanks.

I have always been a fan of the S2000 and in fact was the first car I learned to drive Manual on. I have always wanted a BLK/BLK and throw a few quality mods on, something to tinker with and tweak over winter. I have finally located one that suits me. 04 BLK/BLK with RPF1's and Buddy Club Coils, 106k miles. $14,000. What is a fair price to pay? Top has a hole.

I wouldn't pay over 10k since the top is ripped

So I've been researching for a couple of weeks now, and compared to what I see S2K's go for in my area, this one seems to be a "steal". Unfortunately, I don't have carfax, so I have no choice but to take the hour drive to check this out in person, is there anything I should be weary about?

Here it is;

^^ It's been modded. That's definitely not the stock air intake. Looks like CAI but the picture doesn't show the mfg mark on it so hard to tell which one it is.

Hopefully they used blue brake fluid or something, because otherwise the fluid reservoir is looking mighty dark.
