Straight to the point (i can answer questions about poutine if you want to ask or anything else btw), i'm looking forward to buy a S2000. I recently sold my 1999 Civic Si (SiR in Canada) planning to get an upgrade. I never liked modifying cars like, port and polish, turbos etc. That's why i kept my old Si stock but i need something faster, more raw, more fun to drive hehe.

Sooooo, i'm looking at the S2000 here. A lot of 2005+, a lot of 150,000km + (~100k miles), ones that were in accidents etc. I really want a clean one, no mods, low mileage, no winter, no accidents, etc. Thing is that they seem to be rare. Then i see this grey 2002 with ~55,000km (~35,000 miles) near mint condition (on picutres). Car is 2 hours drive from here (heading there in 2 days to look at the thing). Price, 19,000$ CAD (~$18,200 USD). Looks a bit overpriced to me but 2004+ models are easily 20,000$ CAD. Most 2006-2007 with low mileage will get to 25,000$. Now, would you pay that for an AP1 ?

Something just came to my mind regarding THIEVES. I hate them (who doesn't). I got my first 2000 Si stolen and last summer, got my wheels stolen along with my front bumper lip and others weird things in the car (like the driver's headrest, ipod fm transmitter, money tray, etc.). I'd appreciate feedbacks regarding what people are looking for on S2000 and how to protect these parts (if possible). I saw the locks for the seats, looks awesome, i'd probably get those; anything else ?

Best regards,

trep

I've found a 2005 with only 6,800 miles at a nearby Acura dealer. I'm not sure how a 10 year old car only has 6,500 miles. Could that limited use actually be a bad thing? It looks pristine in the pics, but they are asking $24,999 for it. That's $4k above book value averages. They said they might be able to negotiate in "hundreds" not "thousands."

As I'm new to shopping for an S2000, what's a fair price for such low miles? What should I offer?

Meanwhile, there's a private seller up the road that has the same car, but with more typical miles (48k) who is asking $18,900. I haven't contacted him, so I'm not sure if he's willing to negotiate. Also, there is one accident showing up on his CarFax.
