Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum, but I've been looking around for an S2K over the past couple months. I just may have found what I'm looking for and am about to pull the trigger. Just wanted to get opinions whether $16,000 for a 2002 with about 17,000 miles a good deal? Seems like a fair price compared to KBB but a bit high when compared to Nada. That low mileage is really drawing me in.

If it's online somewhere, it's a good idea to provide a link to the car so people can see it and make a better evaluation. Pictures help a lot. Location matters, too.

I'd jump on that if it's absolutely mint. That low mileage is hard to come by. What color is it?

That is a very reasonable price. IMO if the car is mint and importantly, all stock, it could actually command a considerably higher price than that.

Thanks for the insight everyone! It's a Formula Red located near Chicago, and from the photos and what the dealer is saying, it looks to be in good condition. I'm located in Detroit so I haven't had the chance to see it in person. The only thing that stands out right now is that it had three owners, but that's not necessarily a bad thing is it?

Here are links to the ad and the carfax report:

In the ad, the price is listed at $18,995, which I suspect they could get if the car is all it should be. Are you thinking to offer 16k?

Not sure if it is just the photo, but the driver seat looks kinda beat for that low mileage.

Hey All!

Long time car enthusiast, potential first time Honda owner!!

2000 S2000 Black, 81k miles, fair/poor condition, dents, tired suspension (stock with lowering springs), aftermarket exhaust that is ugly and lopsided, new top with glass, interior fair except aftermarket radio thrown in without correct brackets, check engine light for o2 sensor, about a year left on tires, front bumper not original to car (yellow original painted black barely noticeable, no accidents (carfax).

$8,500. Owner agreed to let me have it inspected on a lift in a shop. Is the low mileage and price worth the elbow grease needed? This would be a weekend, car show, autocrosss, some days to work car. I feel confident I could fix all the gremlins on the car over a course of time, just not sure how much money I would need to spend.

Thanks in advance for the help!
