The question is why were those things replaced/painted/written on. You need to find out the vehicle history. I wouldn't pay more than $8500 for that car in it's current condition. I might pay $10.5k if it had a new top and the manifold didn't have writing on it.

Thats a ridiculous price for the mileage and condition. The engine has been replaced with one from a recycler. Assuming the engine has less miles than the car, and the body is all original, I'd say maybe 8k. You'll be into it for 10 after making it right (new top, seat covers, some other little things).

I am wondering how much I can get this car for

It is a 2006 GPW with red interior. It has 19xxx KM and everything looks like new. Softtop is in excellent condition with 3M installed on bumper/fender/hood/side mirrors. Everything is stock with no aftermarket parts. Full service record from dealership.

I tried to check out that same car before I picked mine up. Glad I didn't make the drive out there knowing all of this. It took the seller over a week to get back to me with more pictures and info and I ended up finding my current car in the meantime.

I did a history check and came up with nothing, no accidents or work listed. I offered the seller 9k, time to see if they take it, and if they go for it and the car passes the inspection and there is nothing else wrong then I will be satisfied with this buy.

I guess it is worth mentioning my intentions with this car, which are to track it which will include me getting a hardtop and racing seats, among other things. But I think I am just too fixated on buying a s2k as soon as possible and ignoring the logic of those around me...

..Was just scrolling through the cars for sale section and saw this, what do you guys think?
