Just for giggles- but an 07 GPW with black red interior, black OEM top, BNIB OEM front lip and rear low spoiler (not installed), lifetime SiriusXM radio, and just under 55k miles. Minor right side front bumper scraps.

Also a set of RPF1s and an extra OEM trunk with carbon CR spoiler.

Sup guys. I will probably be in the market for an AP2 soon, so I'm here doing my due diligence. I just read the "what to look for when buying..." thread. Before I go call, what do you think of this one? And is there a good shop in the Raleigh/Durham area to get it check out? Thanks
08 Silver with 54k, asking 19.9
VIN JHMAP214X8S002205
Description: I am the second owner. We bought this car certified from Honda. It's been driven as a highway commuter for the last 2.5 years. It has always been garage kept (both at home and at work). It's been very well maintained; always use synthetic oil, recently replace transmission fluid and rear differential fluid, tires replaced less than 10,000 miles ago. It was in a minor accident - rear bumper was replaced; but no mechanical damage.

Hey you fine gentleman/ladies. I'm currently looking to own a S2000 in the near future. I read the thread "what to look for when buying..." Budget isn't a problem as long as it's not extremely overpriced. I don't mind spending a little bit more for quality as I am going to keep this car for a while. What do you guys think of the following ones?

Hey also, people have been telling me that a red colored car is more expensive on insurance...? Is that true? I'm located in Toronto, ON if that helps. Thanks for your time , guys!

How about this one guys? 2003 blue with 65,000 miles. Listed for $16,500, which seems very high compared to KBB and NADA listings. I'm thinking $13,500?
I'm getting frustrated, every private party or dealership is convinced they should be getting $2-3,000 over what KBB and NADA say the car is worth. Should I just accept that S2000's will continue to increase in value, or are we seeing the peak and prices will drop into fall/winter? I don't mind waiting, but I'm trying to juggle the possibility of values exploding next spring/summer as there are less and less available with the seemingly inevitable overpayment this summer on my part.
Edit: Talked them down to $14,500. What do you guys think?
