Unless silver/black is your favorite color combination then I'd pass. I've had plenty of silver/blacks so I'm tired of seeing the same color over and over again. Take my advice with a grain of salt. At that price range you should only get either your favorite color or at least a rare color combo IMO.

It' looks like the headlights don't fit well. Anyone else notice a gap between the passenger headlight and fender?

Yea I know. I want GPW or BB with red. Had a chance but it slipped. Just seems like prices are increasing. Thx for your input.

I don't know which websites and locations you're looking at but if you want to get a quality car its a good idea to expand your search area and look through multiple websites on a regular basis. Good s2000's, especially around Summer time don't last much on the market.

2000 s2000 Silverstone w/ black interior @ 71k miles
Clean title, single-owner, adult-owned with following mods:
HKS exhaust (one hole due to rust circled in red that I'm going to get welded up)
RSR springs (1" drop)
Newspeed front strut brace
KN filter
Front lip will be repainted
New top will be installed (top was cut years ago, they stole his sunglasses...)
Stock rims that haven't been used in 8 years, stored in garage and covered (might have to replace rubber?)
LE28s with plenty of tread but asking for +1.7k

Settled on 13k for stock rims, thoughts?

2007 GPW with red/blk interior

-19,632 miles
-2 owners (clean title) 61 yr old currently owned
-new rear tires and car just detailed
-minor scratch on under front bumper (parking bump)
- said Soft top completely replaced in 2010 under warranty due to pinhole on fabric that bothered him.

I drove it yesterday and seemed fine. Popped vtec in 1-3 gears. Cruise Control worked fine and brakes felt ok. Could use an alignment but overall engine sounded tight. Only issue with car that i found was windshield sprayers didnt work, but wipers were fine. (minor fix). And since he doesnt have an OEM cover, the antenna is bent somewhat.

we agreed on $26k, but i was curious if this is too high. I really want the car, but looking for some input. My search has been quite a PITA.
