Basically subtract 2k for the coilovers and 1k for the wheels. His price is high to be honest.
I'd say 13k with everything.
12k no rpf1
11k no coilovers
10k stock wheels stock suspension.
And maybe even a tad less because it needs that wheel bearing done, new tires and it has some cosmetic issues. But it's not far off.

He gave me his offers:
15k everything
13k no COs
13.5k no rpf1
??k stock wheels & stock suspension
...a bit high sounds like

Not to any sensible person. But some of these car sales web sites like let you leave the vehicle listed until it sells. But you never know what $30K in hand might do here - it does say OBO.

Hello All --
Shopping for my first S2K. I'm looking for an AP2, particularly a 2006-2009 (I'd like the option of doing a tune down the line if I want to). I've found a one-owner 2006, Suzuka blue (matching interior), 35K miles, for $17K. The Carfax shows one minor accident and the owner said he was rear-ended just after buying the car (in 2006), and the bumper was replaced because the damage impacted the styrofoam. He had it replaced under insurance and no accidents or problems since. The driver's seat has some scratches and wear, but no holes. There are some rock chips on the front (not bad -- looks really good in pictures from 10 feet), and the bottom of the front lip probably needs to be resprayed. The top has one little spot of wear, and the owner said he had it repaired and it has never leaked, etc. It's always been garage kept.
$17K -- fair deal for this or keep looking? It seems like a good deal for the year and miles, but if it's not the right deal, I'll keep looking.

Hi all, I'm excited to be shopping for an s2k! Would like to hear your thoughts on a sale.
2008, 83k miles, $19.9k, black
Here's the listing: http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-s...ils.xhtml?mmt=[HONDA[][]]&listingId=397073106&Log=0
And the carfax: http://www.carfax.com/VehicleHistory...&partner=AMG_1
Looking at the previous owner driving history, should I be concerned that the last owner took the car from 49k to 83k miles in under 2 years? There also appears to have been a minor accident, but no structural damage (on paper at least).
Thanks!

Is the title clean, i.e., not a salvage or rebuilt title as a result of the rear end accident? Seems like it is worth a look though. Good luck!
