Looks like a clean low mileage example. Only an hour from my house, I would have bought it last week if not for the black color.

If you can live with black, I would buy it.

This looks like a very good deal.

If the car was not involved in any accident, then I would say it is a reasonable deal.

Greetings all,

First post as I am going to have a look at this on Sunday.
Used Honda S2000 Roadster Petrol in SILVER from Stratstone MINI Derby - 26625

I've had an interest in S2000's since my colleage built a Westfield and stuck an S2000 engine in it. It was brilliant.

I've already been talking to the dealer and there is the (common problem from what I've read on here) small tear in the soft top and a slight tear in the passenger seat.

This is really the upper limit of my budget.

Any opinions on this?

Default 2006 GPW rebuilt title - fair price?

I'm looking at a 2006 GPW theft recovery car. 30k miles, OEM hard top, soft top completely gutted. No name aftermarket wheels. It does have some mods with original parts supposedly included in the sale, including Greddy Spectrum Elite Exhaust, J's Racing header, K&N intake, Buddy Club sport coilovers.

Ask is $20k.

I haven't seen it yet but it appears to be clean. If this car checks out, and all repairs have been done correctly, what's a fair price? I'd be looking at putting the soft top back on, so unfortunately this will require some work...

Hi All,

Looking at purchasing this S2000. Just a little worried about the carfax. It was a Corporate car, maybe used for test drives? It was a lease car and went through the auction once. No reported damage. What do you think??

Attached is the Carfax.

Here is the car.

Thanks!

Price is too high for an AP1.

Early model AP1...hmm...has low miles and I briefly glanced through the pica on my mobile and didn't see anything too glaring aside from the odd center caps. Honestly, given location and age, I'd say 14 is high. Around 10.5-12 would be better. Be wary about the carguru/truecar stats for these cars as they are generally very inaccurate given the market value.
