Woohoo! Enjoy it!!

Guys, I am a newbie to this forum. I already did my intro and listed this car there. Anyhow. I am seriously considering the following car as my first S2k.


2004 S2k. Sebring Silver w Black and Red Interior
2 owner car (Apparently father to daughter transfer
Clean Cafax
36K miles
Very clean interior 10/10
Soft top is perfect (can't tell if OEM but it still has OEM Honda sticker in the rear glass, don't know what else to check)
Rear tires brand new (Super Sports) fronts are MX4 (I intend to replace)
The car has two rocks chicps in the front bumper, a small chip in the hood, a 1 inch ding in the drivers side door, some minor scratches all over car but pain looks good
1 wheel has discoloration on rim
Car has only 9 VIN stickers - the passenger fender is missing one.

Dealer wants 21K (This is out the door including shipping from FL -> VA 1200$ (probably cheaper for them). and all dealer fees)
I will be registering the car myself and paying taxes in my state.

Is this a good deal?

What is it worth?

2006 Laguna Blue/black interior

59,000 miles

All stock no modifications

Paint is in overall good condition but several rock chips on front.

10 VIN stickers present

Maintained well with service records

Needs new tires

Interior not perfect but good condition considering mileage.

Top in good condition, no tears.

Overall a good car but needs a good detailing to really bring it back to life.

Value???

Im pretty sure it books for aroukd 18k, so subtract 1k for tires. If I were you I'd shoot for 17k but anything from 17-19k would be fair depending on where you live.

A little late, but the price sounds a touch high IMO considering you have to put new rubber on it. The VIN missing on the passenger fender does raise a question. Is there a way to go get the car and save yourself $1,200 in shipping? Have you looked at the car in person or had someone look at the car for you...other than someone from the dealership? GLWP!

How much is a fair value for a 2001 Silver with 117k miles, but with rebuilt title? The car was in front end collision that needed new fender, headlight, and bumper. The fender does not seem to be a perfect color match, and it would also need a new top, damage to roll bar garnish, and has a few scrapes especially on bumper.

Thanks for the help

I wouldn't pay more than 5k. I just sold my clean title 01 ap1 that was super clean but had a few more miles for $8500. If you want to get the true value, take 25% or so off kbb for being rebuilt and then take off another $1200 for a new top and ~100 for a new roll hoop. Plus another $200-300 if you wanted to fix the paint. How much are they asking?

I was thinking ~$7,000.
