List it at 19k, you can easily get at least 17k.

Low miles, good condition, ap2 wheels with great tires, OEM lip based on the picture, suspension cuz its a good brand, all help

Leave suspension on but tell people you can remove it and cut down on the price if necessary.

What exhaust is currently on the car ?
Hey appreciate the feedback! Based on what I've seen, I think I can get at least 16k for it with the Ohlins included. Maybe I was a little low. But the mileage is a great selling point for I have going for it. 17k shouldn't be much of a stretch. The exhaust is a 70mm Berk HFC and EVS 70SSP.

If you can somehow get $17k for a 17 year old car you're definitely ahead of the game.

Yeah, I have no idea how to post a link in the year 2016.

Edit:It worked!
Agreed, looks like a potentially good deal. But you should request more photos (esp. the interior/driver seat) and more info. All stock? Looks like an iPod adapter or some wires coming into the glove compartment (likely no big deal).

Be patient though, nice S2000s come up for sale regularly.

Yes, all stock.. not sure what the wires are. I talked with the owner and he seemed really decent. He sent me a lot of other photos. There is a rip in the seam of the driver's seat which will need repaired.

I have the opportunity to by an all stock, never wrecked, properly maintained 2005 with 130,000 miles on it for $8600. The only problems with it are typical wear and tear for the mileage and the rear window has separated for about 15" where it meets the soft top. I am thinking about buying it and selling my 2006. I have put 6000 miles on my 2006 in 18 months and have been Autocrossing it. Do you think the 2005 is a good deal?

You should only buy it if you can afford to keep both..turn the higher mileage one you'd be picking up as your autocross car and mod it up a bit.

Otherwise, it doesn't make much sense to me to sell your lower mileage car for a higher one, usually you'd do the reverse and pick one up with fewer miles.

Hey guys, trying to figure out what my car is worth.

2007 RYP with 29k miles. No issues other than the rock chips in the front. Emblems are plasti dipped black so they can be removed. Seibon CF hood, original hood, CF rear diff, CT engineering cat back exhaust, K&N FIPK (original air box too.) Black AEZ wheels (I believe. I'd have to go check the brand when I get home.)

I think I'd like to get 25k out of it, yet am I even close to the price mark?

Guys,

This came up today on craigslist and its local (bay area) which is a big plus for me not having to travel to pick it up.

2006 GPW, 90,000 miles, one owner, OEM hardtop asking $18,500: [post='S2000']http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/cto/5558370647.html[/post]

I've asked for additional photos to see the engine bay and interiors. Ideally I wanted tan interior, but black is just as nice.

Let me know what y'all think of the car and the price.

Thanks.

Great deal with that color and hard top. 06 GPW is a rare combo, it was the only year that had GPW/black
