Not in my opinion.

I would say $24K-$25K and also depends on the condition.

Haven't seen the car yet so not sure about the VINs but has had 3 previous owners and no accidents on Autocheck.
based on pics, there's some wear on the driver bolsters, but will need to check that in person.

The price is $27k. is this worth it considering it's from a dealer?

i think that’s a fair deal. When you search autotrader nationwide, 2007s with around 30k mi are priced at around 26-27k. Lower miles have higher asking prices. This is IMO.

FWIW, I just purchased a 2007 Rio Yellow Pearl with 16,500 miles last month. Car was pristine (one owner 64 year old woman), all 10 VINs intact, leather with no wear marks, xpel on front.
Seller was asking 28K, I paid 27.5K. Seller threw in replacement wipers, air filter, 3 oil filters, and an OEM car cover. I flew to FL to get it. A similar local one with 22K mi was selling for 31K. I wouldn't say I got a great deal, but a fair deal.

Hey guys new to forum, owned a 05 suzuka blue from 11-15. Got my eye on another, the one I am looking at is missing the front vin and the front left and right fender vin tags but has a clean title. Is this something you would still consider if a PPI was performed or would you go running for the hills?

Thanks

Depends on price and what you plan on using the car for.....show, race, demo derby, etc.

I believe the price to be good. Getting the PPI done today. Car will be used for weekends, meet ups and 1-2 track/autocross a year. Put maybe 5-7k on it a year.

If everything checks out....sure I'd buy it. I don't think the VIN numbers make it drive/look any better. Good luck.

Am I over paying for an S2000

Hello guy! So I’m currently thinking about buy a 2000 AP1. The car is in good condition and it is a clean title. THe car has AP2 headlights and taillights, the interior has also been updated to AP2 (except cluster). Now, the car has 240,000 miles on it with apparently 70k on Rebuild. Sound system has been upgraded, XXR wheels, and lowered with red interior. He’s asking $7,000. Is that too much for the car? Only bc the frame has 240,000 miles but I also understand these cars aren’t cheap.
Thank you,
Mike.
