From what I have seen on Craigslist so far.
If it is in good condition then you are talking at around what Adrenalize said. 25k
If it is a common color like silver, probably close to 23k and if it is a rare color like Laguna Blue then close to 26k.

Hey guys! Theres a 2001 Berlina Black for sale in my area. Private Party sale, on CL.
Clean title, its got 142k on the odo.
Cons:
Cracked windshield (roughly 6 in)
Hardtop alignment is a little off so drivers side window hits the top. (Its a mugen hardtop rep)
SoftTop is still attached but has slight tear on rear window.
Its all stock other than the radio head unit. Paint is decent, few scratches, and a small dent by the gas cap.
He is asking 9k.
What do you guys think is a fair offer?
Thank you!

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!

Do you have any pictures to better assess the condition? Initial reaction is that this is not a screaming deal. While the miles are low relative to the year it sounds like the car was abused/not taken care of. Thus, the price seems high based on your overall description. No accidents, but the front bumper is not original????? Is this a private sale? Maintenance records? Also keep in mind that AP1's have the potential valve retainer issue...a lot of discussion on this topic. Because I didn't know how my '02 was previously driven I had the intake valve retainers replaced [cost $430] for peace of mind. And yes, the retainers taken out of the car were perfect, no cracks. Best of luck.
The car sold for 9k before I could make a decision, so i guess it was a good deal to someone.
I have found a similarly priced AP1 with a hardtop and records on oil changes. Owner has not performed high mileage maintenance (fluid flushes, valve adjustments, etc) and the car has just over 100k. I have a better vibe about the way this car was treated. I will take a look and report back.
According to the last car, S2000's in my area are selling for higher than kbb values by about 500-1000.

Been looking for my first S2000 here in the Dominican Republic! Not a vast amount to choose from, and history etc non-existent... Most are heavily modified, too. Prices are high in general for cars. However, despite all the above - what do you think of this one?
It is year 2000 and is going for $12400 (his final offer). No guarantees, etc!

I have many detailed photos from visit earlier today, too.
Has aftermarket 'BC' suspension - is this any good (and can I raise this easily to get the car back to a manageable height for a country with vicious speedbumps)? Didn't get a good shot of the brand of exhaust :/
Thanks,
Gordon
