Yeah he priced it at 16 but didn't deny 14.5 and agreed to meet up. When I asked if it was repainted his answer was "Im not sure, you can come check it out in person."
Looks like he upped the price, at 14.5 that's a fair price, at 16k ehhh you'd have to really really want it. The color looking off could just be the lighting/exposure being off since it's at night under a gas station so you'd have to see it in person. Only having a car for 3 months seems like the guy got it cheap and is trying to flip it.

OK just a quick update. Car fax shows "auction announced frame damage" in 2011 and that the car was in an accident in 2014. Would you guys stay away or it shouldnt be a problem if I get the car inspected?

The price for this car should reflect the frame damage,paint and other issues that raise questions.
If this car was clean and solid it would be worth $16K, start subtracting the costs to get it there. Frame damage will never go away as far as value.
IMHO, if you paid $ 7k and didn't mind the additional costs and aggravation you might have something but there are better ways to get an S2000.
As an old car guy who travels rural NY, I notice Jaguar XJSs, Porsche 928s and Benzs etc sitting among weeds in front of modest dwellings. We can all figure out that story

Hi all,
New member and potential owner here. I'm hoping to get some feedback on the car near me.
Details: 2002 54k miles, garage kept $14.5K
Comptech supercharger kit,
comptech aftercooler
Paxton novi 1000 supercharger
Comptech heat exchanger
D.C sport header
CT engineering catback exhaust
Tuned on AEM v2 standalone
ID 1000 injectors
Stage 3 competition clutch
Ap2 trans to go with the car. AP1 trans in now.
Walbro 255 wired to batt with relay
Gendron solid front brace
J's racing front lower ball joints (have factory ones as well)
Fresh alignment, (caster, camber & toe adjustment) have printout.
AEM wideband with AEM gauge, (needs new sensor $70 off eBay
From my research the price seems reasonable. I hesitate to buy a sc'd car, but the miles are low and I'd even consider removing it and moving back towards stock performance. It also seems I better have a compression test and retainer pin check done. Car looks clean and drives well from what I can tell.

I'm looking at this car for a non-daily driver/autocross car. It has a lot of miles, and is really old, but its a 1 owner and it looks in fantastic shape. Can you guys give me some thoughts on his price and what to look for if i go look at it? Also, how much would you offer?

I'd buy that one in a heartbeat BUT - I would have a compression test done and check for any body rust/rot before I plunked down the cash.
