Whats the point?

Also what was the original owner hoping for, in keeping the miles so low? The MSRP of the car was around $32,000, and there was a very good chance they paid a few grand more in dealer markup. So now they hope to sell it for $35,000. According to inflation calculations, $32,000 in 2000 has the buying power of $45,905 in 2017. I can't think that not driving a car for 16 years or so had to be a fun way to gain no additional value.

I know I sound like a broken record, but buying one of these and not driving it with the hopes of selling big, may not be a great plan. Sure Supras and NSX's go for top dollar, but those also started life as markedly more expensive vehicles.

I may certainly be proven wrong, and as someone who loves the s2000 and making money, I hope I am wrong, but I think it is still at least 10-20 years till we start seeing BIG money.

That said, it does seem like any S2000 under $10,000 is going to have issues? So prices are holding strong, if not creeping up.

 

Def agree. This should sell quick depending on your area. Here in NJ/NY, this would be sold real quick at that price and mileage. I purchased a similar car for around that price. I was the 2nd guy who called after the ad was posted for just an hour. Good luck.

 

I agree with this. My approach was to buy at about 10K miles for fair price with the hope that I can drive it for 50K over 5 years or so and not lose much, if anything. I paid 21K for an 02 with 8.5 k miles INCLUDING oem hardtop. Rough guess that is about the equivalent of 18K for the car only. I might have paid a bit too much maybe? I recognize that. It will be interesting to see what it brings after 50K more miles.

 

I'm thinking about flying down to Virginia from Boston to check this out. How does it look to you guys?

I think it'll sell quickly at that price.

What he said....

 

VALUE.

 

Perhaps too much. Try to make sure he's for real and then jump on it.

 

I have a line on a perfect condition 02 with hardtop, silverstone over black. 16K miles. Gorgeous. No problems at all. Garage kept and covered and very well cared for. Never seen snow - off the road in winter. No mechanical problems. No accidents. No body work. Matching numbers. Located in Northern New England.
What do you all think is the reasonable range for the car and hardtop together?
I'm considering it as a second s2k. I own a Sebring 02 now - see post above.

 

Hey guys, wanted some input on this!

Found a MY00, Berlina Black (Red seats, red door panels) , 44k original miles, single owner, Soft-top is in perfect condition with no rips or tears, plastic window in perfect condition (no yellow haze), no modifications. Clean carfax. Clean title. All new tires comes with records as far as maintenance records and such. (Original dealer sticker from purchase for those like me that like to have those things lol)

They are asking 17,900.
