-Official- Is this car worth it thread - vol. 2
but that aside i still think u paid a fair price
Hello fellow members, I'm in looking at a new fun daily driver and I came across this one CL http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/cto/3548022500.html
Is this worth it? Now I dont know much about rims but, how much are those worth? Thanks

2004 S2000 Light blue
98k miles
Previous owner replaced clutch cylinder components, trans fluid, diff fluid, and battery at 92k miles. My concern in general is purchasing a S2000 with 100k miles on the clock. Overall it is in great condition and the interior shows no wear. The clutch has a light chatter when not pressed in. normal? The shifter had almost a grind when cold and shifting to second at low rpm.
I would be getting it for approx 10,000. Does this sound like a fair price if the above is ok? Anything else I need to look out for prior to purchasing or what to expect. Thank you very much for the help!

This. Also, in my experience the transmission is notchy until it warms up, then it's awesome. There are plenty of S2Ks with well over 100k on the clock that run great. As long as it was properly taken care of then it'll last for a loooong while. It is still a Honda after all.

If you are mechanically inclined go for it (assuming it hasn't had any bad accidents or bent frame). It is hard to pass on that price. Even if you replace the motor and transmission, it will still be a good price. The transmission may just need a fluid change. It is amazing what a decent mechanic- that is very knowledgable about these cars- can do to turn one like this around. Count on other things being wrong/needing replaced at that price.
