Mine is at 185K and has given me 0 issues in the 9 years I've had it. I wouldn't hesitate to get a higher mileage S if it looks as if it's in good shape and garage kept. Upkeep is the key. Look for signs of neglect and rough treatment.

Any thoughts on this S2000? The free vehicle history report says that it has a total of 6 owners though! The mileage is okay (155k) and I'll be driving approx 10k miles a year on it. Might also be able to haggle on the price a little as the car has been sitting for around a month or two.

Looks in very good shape, but that is not an exceptional price. Expect to put a couple of thousand dollars into it, and hope there are no serious issues. And the ad says 115K miles -- a lot different that 155K. Top? Tires? Brakes? Clutch? Transmission? Rust? Paint issues? It could be a money pit, or it could be dang near perfect.

What do you guys think of 2008 S2000 with 26k Miles on it.
Guy is asking $24500 but has modifications "All stock except K & N air filter and dual magnaflow mufflers"
Is this not being stock cause problems later on when selling it? (Since I plan to keep it for max 2 years)

That car is effectively stock. If it bothers you, find a stock catback and do the switch.

Default Stock s2000 full red interior.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I was wondering if I was getting a good deal on this s2000. I don't have enough to buy one cash from an owner so I had to resort to a dealership. The s200 in question is here at: https://www.audinorthorlando.com/use...03da0ce8bf.htm
I test drove it already and it is pretty clean inside and out. Also I know how rare the full red interior is. Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated.

Looks pretty clean. Not a big fan of the red dash or roof, but to each their own. Hopefully there are some service records to see. Tell the dealer what to do with the $799.00 doc fee.

Looks clean...not a fan of the red soft top at all though. I also own an 02 sebring silver with red interior. Best interior in my opinion

I just bought the same car as that with a black top and half the miles for the same price. You should definitely be able to get them down a good amount on that price.
