05 suzuka blue ap2 with 70k miles , car has clean title but is missing and needs the following i was told but i still have to see it in person

top
seats
cat (id just get a test pipe)
control arm maybe more from smacking a curb
car has been sitting for a year.

Asking $5000. sounds like a good deal but also sounds to good to be true

Is it just me or is this a little cheap? The guy doesn't have any engine/interior shots, but the outside looks clean.

What do you guys think?

 

Not sure of the current prices, but 04-05 AP2's with ~80k miles were going for around $15k last year. I know I had an offer accepted on one that I back out of when I found an AP1 with less miles for cheaper.

 

THAT ap1 i was told i could get for $5k with all the misfires, well i was told today i could have it for $3800 but not sure if it needs a motor or what just know its got misfires in all cylinders

 

Just entered the market for a used S2000 about a week ago. Current owner of an '09 BMW 135i. Been a great car to me, but it's out of warranty now, and I am ready for something new. Always admired the S, and not sure how much longer I will have an opportunity to have a car like this (kids in the not so distant future). I have a refundable deposit on a car I am going to check out tomorrow. Here's a link...

2004 Honda S2000

Long story short... 2004 S, 18.3k miles, $18k selling price (doesn't include $600 dealer fee)

Thoughts? I will definitely go through the full list of things to check before buying. This forum looks like a great resource. I hope to be a regular here soon!

P.S. Here's my 1!

 

Just assume the engine is screwed and if your ok with the $4k to replace it then go for it!

 

I know technically this is supposed to be thoroughly analyzed before the purchase but I was just looking for some input on how I did on mine. Its a 2002 100% stock with 92k miles. 2 owners (2nd owner I purchased the vehicle from had it from 22-92k miles) and garaged kept and adult (55+ actually) driven its whole life. Its never been tracked, modified, or wrecked. Every single panel on the car still has the original matching serial # stickers.

The body is in excellent condition minus some very minor scratches on the underside of the front lip and 3 barely noticeable dings, one on the passenger rear fender, on under the driver side door handle and one I had to actually hunt to see on the trunk lid. The car came with brand new (1000 miles) tires and the interior is in great shape w/an aftermarket Alpine headunit and JL Audio 10" sub/door speakers w/their own independent amps.

I'm assuming he had the top replaced because it is in like new condition and operates smoothly.

Engine bay is clean with no leaks and she runs smoothly. Very slight puff of smoke on startup on cold mornings and minimal oil usage (about 1/2 a qt in 1500 miles that I've put on here). The transmission shifts cleanly and smoothly save for a single engagement into 2nd that caused a minor grind under hard acceleration. I've read the trans/clutch fluid can cause this with nearly 100k so I'm going to flush and replace both this afternoon along with the brake fluid.

Long story short the seller was asking 12.5k and I walked out with the title and the keys for 10.5k wondering if I made out alright because I've seen the values all over the map for these cars. Thanks in advance!

 

Jdg784, no worries, IMHO you got a good deal, even if the engine tanks!

 

Thanks for the affirmation lol, I got her up on jackstands today and changed out every drop of fluid in the car. Trans/Diff were dirty but not bad, brake and clutch systems were in a similar state with dark but not terrible fluid. Put a new set of NGK OE plugs in to replace what I imagine were the originals, they came out w/burnt insulators and gapped to almost .060! She ran well before but is a changed machine now. Same deal w/the trans it shifts like butter w/better clutch engagement w/the new fluid.

Looking forward to all the knowledge available on these forums and blowing many hard earned paychecks on her.

 

What is your thoughts on a price for this car.





2007 with under 5k miles.
