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?

Hi guys,
Two possible cars and I'm wondering what price is good:
2002 Sebring with all red interior and 65K miles. 2 owner and stock --- I'm thinking somewhere around $16500k?
or
2001 Black with red interior and 65K miles as well. 4 owners with exhaust and aftermarket wheels. -- I'm thinking it should be around $15K?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys!!!
I've been lurking for a while but I'm finally financial able to make the plunge into an s2000
Originally I was interested in 04-05 AP2's but found this beautiful looking yellow 06 at a used car dealer near me. My biggest concern is finding a clean unmolested car. From the pictures the interior looks minty and paint looks good. Only cons I see from online add are the 16k price tag with 104k miles. I was thinking this is more of a 14k car with that many miles. Location is in south Miami. Im going to see it today after work so please let me know what you guys think!

The only worry I would have with an 06 or later with that many miles is whether a valve adjustment had been done, if not it could have burnt valves. I took a risk unknowingly on an '06 with 93K miles and was fine. Pay the money for a compression/leak down test to be sure.

Posting this up because I looked at the car in person, and wanted everyone's opinion. Color combo was nice, new tires, new top, and new windshield. They wouldn't budge on the price at all, I offered $24k cash and they didn't even give a counter-offer.
