2005 Silverstone with 23000 MI. Clean, small soft top tear near b pillar. When current owner bought it from eBay he noticed it had a replaced lower control arm. He had honda replaced the upper and lower control arms , knuckle and bearing to make sure it was done right . No reported accident so he's unsure why control arm was replaced. Asking 23k in socal.

Hey S2ki folks, I've been contemplating on buying this S for a while now. What do you think?
few details:
2008 GPW
10k miles
Completely stock, says he's original owner
Haven't had the chance to take a look at the engine yet but he says no mechanical problems as he doesn't drive this car often
interior from pics look 9/10
He's asking 25k

As you know, asking price and selling price are not necessarily the same. If you have been thinking about it for awhile, then it apparently has been for sale for awhile. Flash some cash at a little lower price point. If he does not bite, then $25k for the car if it holds up to scrutiny is a pretty good deal, especially for a low mileage/stock/one owner/GPW car.

Clearly, buyers are not knocking down his door, so the longer the car is listed the better position you are in negotiate a lower price. Super deals do not hang around for 3 weeks. If you are going to rack up a lot of miles on the car then maybe you don't want to pay the extra premium the price reflects for a very low mileage car. Keep us posted as to your progress.

Crazy low miles for which you are paying a premium price. Are the low miles going to discourage you from driving/enjoying it? If yes, then maybe you should buy an S2K with a few more miles [probably at a lower price point] that you can truly drive/enjoy without worrying about racking up the miles.
