it seems over priced for the amount of miles on it according to KBB. I’m also concerned about how many miles are on it in general. Thoughts?
ONLY if you're dead set on getting the Laguna Blue color. Otherwise, I'd say the car is a bit overpriced. And the seller is probably aware of the rarity of the color.

With the s2000, don't let the mileage steer you away. The s2000 is a very reliable car as long as it hasn't been abused/neglected. Even then it is more reliable than most other cars.

The 2007 seems to be in better condition that the 2008 you linked earlier, even though it is older with higher miles(solely based on quick glance at the pictures). An in person inspection with an s2000 owner or an experienced PPI technician is a must.

That one's probably a better deal if you can talk them down a little. They usually price high expecting people to offer what they actually want. Pay for a check of history and lien.

Curious what you all think about this S2000:
2004 S2000

The mileage is much higher than I'd typically consider. But it is being sold by the original owner, and appears to have been kept in good condition mechanically.

I currently have an '03 with 108k miles, but it's had a ton of issues. I bought it for "good" private party price last year, but I've spent over $2k on repairs since and am just no longer happy with it.

I don't think there's any guarantee that you won't have to drop some cash on this one either once you make it your daily, in fact at this mileage there's probably alot of maintenance I'd still want to do myself or to comb the history for. It's interesting that it's never had a second owner, I've really not seen that on a high mileage sale yet, but I don't know what that's really worth when it is high mileage.

I’ve been looking to grab another s2000 recently and, while talking to a dealer I know about one of his cars, I found out about a local s2000 with super low miles.

2000 Model with 22k miles
Red with Black interior
All original
Perfect condition, garage kept
One owner “Old Man”

Asking $19,500 currently, but it sounds like he may be flexible. The dealer had said that he knows so much about it because they tried to get it, but couldn’t agree on a number the guy liked. I haven’t seen it yet, but I do trust the guy who relayed the info.

I was honestly kind of set on grabbing an AP2 this time around, but this car has really piqued my interest. Seems like a chance to grab a piece of history really, assuming it’s in as good of shape as he described.

So what are your thoughts? Price doesn’t seem horrible for what it is, but I would obviously try to talk him down.

It depends where you are and typically prices tend to be lower in the colder months.
