I wouldn't know how to gauge pricing in Lithuania but in terms of US dollars I'd say $26-27K depending on the condition, VIN stickers, etc.

When you say AP1 2009 did the European models retain the 2.0L motor in 2009?

Yes, all european s2000 have 2.0, we didnt have 2.2 here

Its like new, it did like 2k miles/year and has full service documentation with oil changes every 4 months etc so it definetly didnt just stand in the barn. Its not in lithuania, its in germany. Owner wants 30k for it, but with all the taxes, import and registration it will be like 34k total, not sure if its not too much :/

Good info on the 2.0. I was unaware of that.

I think only you can be the judge here with regards to the value. I wouldn't pay $30k for it personally, at least here in the US, but then again I don't know how many of these cars are available in your region of Europe. If they're not as common as in the US then that may inflate the price a bit. It's not a ludicrous asking price, considering some of the listings I've seen here on the forums, but it's overpriced by a few thousand IMO.

Hey guys just trying to get some input if this is a pair price for my car AS-IS. I had it listed once before for $17,000 FIRM last fall and a serious buyer was ready (cash in hand). But after having second thoughts, I couldn't pull the trigger. Now I figured I could always get another later on. Perhaps a GPW AP2 / possibly CR.

It's a 2001 Silverstone Metallic with a clean title. Under 62,000 (3rd Owner since 2012 @ 43,000 miles). Weekend car only/Winter stored. 1 scuffed guardrail accident (cosmetic repair only).

Here's a list of changes done during my ownership:

-NO HARDTOP/SOFTOP AT THE MOMENT

Last Major Service @ 50K:
-Brake/Clutch Fluid
-Valve Adjustment
-Transmission/Diff Fluid

Engine:
-K&N Intake
-Billman TCT

Suspension:
-Eibach Pro Springs

Wheels:
-Refurbished AP2v1
-90%/85% BFGoodRich G-Force Sport Comp-2

Sound:
-Pioneer Radio/Speakers
-Modifry Dash Controls Adapter

Exterior:
-OEM CR Tonneau Cover
-OEM AP2 Front Bumper
-OEM CR Lip
-Seibon TF CF Spoiler
-OEM CR Wing Hardware

Interior:
-OEM Transmission Leather Wrap
-OEM AP2 Console
-Relocated Start Button
-Relocated Trunk Button

I'm thinking $15,000 FIRM. If I decide to reacquire another hardtop, it'll be a factory one this time and relist it at $19,000.

At start +- 53k, then it got lowered to 45 and then 40 at the end. Thats with current $ price, back in the days it would be 15-20% more

I think you could get 15 for it easy if it had a soft top. As it sits, I think it would take the right buyer who would be willing to spend the 1k for a new soft top assembly or 3k for a hardtop. It definitely wouldn't be worth getting a hardtop though because (In my opinion) there is no way you could get 19k for an 01 with 62k miles.

Like you said it might take the right buyer. The previous final potential sale was $17k with a AP1 front end and a replica top. I've notice OEM tops push up prices at least a couple grand. $3.5k if sold separately.
