Be wary about the carguru/truecar stats for these cars as they are generally very inaccurate given the market value.
We're it a one or two owner car in mint condition with all vins, keys, manual, sticker, service records I'd offer 13.5

Thanks for the feedback ls34me, lookstoomuch, Simplegreenvr6!

We purchased the car for 13,200. Sounds like we may have overpaid for it but live and learn. Overall car is in good shape, no rust to speak of. Just happy to be an S2000 owner.

Welcome to the club! May be a little high but whatever it will wash out over the years of enjoyment you get. Guessing your mid-west based so take it to some track events and hope to run into to you some day (North Suburbs here).

Hello folks,

I'm about to pull the trigger on an AP2 but is the price crazy? Could I unwind it in a couple of years for the same? It is an 2004, GPW with 70k miles for $17.5. New top and overall pretty clean condition. No accidents, everything matches. Is $17.5 too much?

Seems a little high to me, my thoughts is get it as close to $15K as possible. I'm thinking $16K is fair for both parties.

Thanks for the heads up. Are you considering the "premium" on white cars? Is that real? Seems like I cant find a white Ap2 with tan interior for that price ever.

Hi all, been having the itch to buy a s2k for a while and thinking about pulling the trigger. its a 2003 suzuka blue with 85k miles, owned by a lady (in her early 60's) who put 60k in 15 years. it has a rebuilt title due to the seats stolen and top slashed.(got a copy of the insurance documentation that it was a theft) The owner said she wouldn't go under $8000. good buy? pass?

oh forgot to add the owner replaced seats with corvette seats, and had a minor fender work done that cost $800 years before it was given the rebuilt title

+1 especially If your goal is to get into an S2000 with a limited budget.
