It gets me every time. Stock is stock people! Just list the mods, however light they may be, but don't say stock, except for...

That's like saying "hey she's a virgin, except she slept with xx,xx,xx,xx and xx." She's mostly stock.

2006 Suzuka, 60k miles in SoCal
One owner, extensive service history from dealer
30k and 60k maint performed
VERY clean but minor bolster wear
All stock
Dealership asking $22k

Im not sure about the socal market but here in the south that's a 17-18k car max. I personally wouldn't pay that much for it but thats because its the ugliest color they made

Went and looked at it. Amazingly sketchy for a dealership. Missing vins on fenders, blank vin sticker on bumper, no s2000 badge on passenger side, drivers side was on backwards "2000s", but the salesman assured me the carfax was clean.

Nah, I'd run. But the '06 is cool, with the one year only blue/black interior.

I know what I think, but wanted to get others opinions.

Looking for my 3rd S, lasted less then 4 years since I sold my last one.

Was looking for a project, so this one isn't that, but it won't be driven daily, nor in the winter, as I have a daily TSX.

It's a 07 GPW with Black/Red interior, with 200k miles. New clutch, timing chain tensioner, valve cover gaskets etc around 5k miles ago. Has BC coils and some Varrstoen ES3 wheels(would be sold). Top has 2 rips, but he says they dont leak. Alao, has OEM lip.

Anyways, he is asking 13,500. We have spoken and we have a set price a little bit lower, that im happy with, but just curious what you would pay?

Yes, high miles. But won't be daily driven, maybe 5k miles a year if that.

Goal is hardtop, so not horribly worried about the rips in top. Last S had hardtop and I took it off 3 times in 2 years.

Thanks for your input!

Alright ya'll, I'm on the fence about one I'm looking at and could use some expert input. I had a yellow 2003 previously, but lost it in a pretty bad accident almost two years ago. That one was nearly flawless, bone stock, and was my daily driver. This one I plan to modify and it won't be my daily driver. I plan to boost it eventually with the goal of around 400hp.

The car I'm looking at is a silver 2002 with about 77k miles. The guy was "firm" on $13,750 but has come down to $13,250.

Pros:
New top
New tires (Yokohama S something)
New windshield
New brake pads
New swift spec R Springs
New Koni yellow shocks
Has never had an insurance claim due to a wreck
Also comes with 2 car Covers and tonneau cover

Issues (thoughts or concerns in parentheses):
- Body is 8/10
- overall condition 7/10
- Arm rest pad on center console is damaged (replacable?)
- Rear view mirror wobbles (my other one didnt)
- Spots (stain?) On plastic vent surround (Not sure if that will come off).
- White spot (rubbed through?) On passenger door panel (not sure if that will come off)
- door pouch thingy elastic bands are sagging (replacable?)
- Left top latch doesn't quite line up (adjustable? Due to new top?)
- Trunk carpet is stained (lack of care from 2 owners ago)
- Sticker on front of motor is rubbed so can't read the engine code (how did it get rubbed off? Dunno if it has the upgraded banjo bolts or not)
- It has some kind of factory accessory alarm so that there is a little LED awkwardly placed behind the E-brake handle and the trunk button on the key fob says "option"
- I don't remember the steering having any play in it, this one has a little bit

Can't verify, but no reason to not believe:
- fresh trans fluid change with Honda MTF
- fresh Mobile 1 old change
- fresh Amsoil diff fluid change
- compression 225, 221, 219, 221 (he said he checked it when he bought it)

Other notables:
- brake rotors are good
- doesn't pull to either side
- didn't see any leaks (car so low it's hard to see under it)
- wheel bearings feel healthy
- didn't notice any weird noises or anything else alarming
- mechanically, it seems pretty sound. Just seems like one of the previous owners didn't take much pride in ownership. He was a 25 year old kid living in a college town.
- the current owner has only had it for 2 months. Says he is selling it to get something to mud ride in. Isn't able to carry the kids in the car and his wife wants him to take them when he goes out in it. He can mud ride with the kids. He changed the fluids, pads, and put on the suspension and some fancy rims. I don't want the rims though and the stock ones are still in good shape.


Also, if anyone has one in Northwest Alabama that I could check out this week for comparison's sake, that would be awesome.

Thanks for any help!

Pulled the trigger at $13,100.

You just described my AP2 lol..same exact mileage, one small'ish accident, mechanically sound (other than brakes which I'm going to take care of), UK mod, CR springs, .. I'm going to leave this very broad, but you'll end up getting over $15,000 -easy-, but less than $20,000 and that's assuming you do not have the OEM hardtop.
With an OEM hardtop and hardware I bet it could slightly crack $20,000 and still be a reasonable sale price. The used market here in the PNW is pretty strong, w/out the hardtop I'd list mine for $18,000 minimum. And would give the buyer the option to buy the OEM hardtop for (minimum of $3,000). Though mine's not for sale!
As for some of the aftermarket stuff, if any of it is worth much you may want to sell separately and put the stock part(s) back on if necessary.
