What is the going rate on a 2004 NFR with 90,000 miles? The paint appears to be really nice besides for 3 door dings that can be removed with PDR. New soft top, (unfortunately) aftermarket wheels. He wants $15,100. I was thinking of asking $14000 and see what he counters with. Opinions?

I'm looking at a 2000 s2k with 66k miles body is rough with hail damage, needs new top, new fender, has a noise coming from the transmission tunnel and p2035 code but I can grab it for around $5k. Not sure if it is worth the hassle to fix it all.

Seems to be $3k ++ worth of repairs. The question is, would the hassle be worth it to you to have a sub-par $8K+ 16 year old ca? Or can you find something for a couple thousand more that is ready to drive? Track car = sounds like a decent deal.

Hi everyone
Currently looking at this car. Car fax does report an accident, but the title is clean. Looks like the passenger fender was replaced. Also the top has some tears that have been repaired and it has been lowered via springs. Overall it's very clean. The price is in line with others in the area including Seattle.
2003 Honda S2000. 80k miles. Super Clean. $15991

Personally, I would try to knock it down to around 23.5. Take away the hard top value (around 3500) and that leaves it at a 20k car, which is how I see that car worth. However, an 07 in that color combo is very hard to find. Try to talk them down a little bit, but if they don't, don't immediately pass on it. It's still a relatively good deal, if truly unmolested.
