Hey s2ki,
I've been searching for a fun car for a while and have been all over the place with what I want. 996 turbo, e46 m3, 135i, etc... Recently I started looking at s2k's and have found one that really interests me. Drove it today and am leaning towards buying it. It was the first one I'd ever driven and I didn't get anywhere close to the best feel for it, but I don't think I'd hate it by any stretch of the imagination.
2005 NFR
Bone stock
8,100 miles(No, I didn't leave out any digits)
$24.5k
That seems pretty much in the ballpark if not a decent deal from what I've seen, am I right in coming to that conclusion? Thank you!

It's a desirable color, very low mileage, unmolested, and some say the 04-05 models are the "best" models. If everything with it checks out (maintained, original panels/vin #s, etc), that price is definitely close. I would personally say $22-23k, but could see it selling for $24.5 to the right buyer.

That right buyer is apparently me! I'll be picking the car up on Saturday. I do feel like $23k would have been a better price, but it pretty much ticks all the boxes for what I've been looking for. No dents, no dings, a few very minor rock chips that you can't avoid if you drive a car here, and that's about it. It's local, one owner, older guy, and it's 100% unmolested and I've also driven 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?
