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?
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?

Thanks for the replies but it looks like it was sold. I would have thought 7ish if it did not have the problems I listed, which is why I was also thinking more around 5000-5500.

Clean, stock 2004 S2000, Suzuka Blue, 22k miles. Listing is for $23k. I'm thinking $20k is a fair price. What do you guys think?

Thanks!

^considering the color i could see some play in the price. But based on how prices have been climbing, 22k miles if bone stock and great condition $20 k would be a good price. $23k isnt crazy either.

Awesome, thanks memo!

I did come across another one. 2004, Silver, black interior, stock, 69k miles, $18k. He says $17k is lowest he will go. Older gentleman, one owner. Even $17k seems high with that mileage, right? I offered $14k, with the idea that I may have to come up to $15k.

^^^^69k miles on a 12 year old car isn't too high, that's less than 6k/year.

Moreso the price associated with a vehicle with that sort of mileage. You think $18k is a fair price?
