Reminds me of those Mopars (on Velocity TV) rebuilt from crashed 1960s muscle cars. I recall many of these sell for 6-figures based on rare VINs.

Motor was rebuilt at some point too. Car has had a rough life!

 

As you'd expect from this level of work, lots of little pieces of trim and small bits missing all over the car. If you get it cheap enough, sounds like you won't have that much downside risk in it, so it could be a good way to get into an S2000.

$6k... in the US it might actually still command that crazily enough (I see lots of really rough rebuilt S2000's asking for $9-10k with similar miles and sketchy histories, but they don't ever seem to sell), so if that makes sense for your local market and the rarity of the car... sounds like you could do worse.

That said, I'd probably do a pretty thorough PPI on it like putting it on a lift, compression check, etc. I'd also budget probably another $500-1000 to fix other suspension bits. The car hit a curb, so there's likely some hidden damage still lurking.

 

If you buy this car please get new center caps, it's really bugging me.

Other than that, this car looks good, for what i believe to be a good price, but I don't know what S2000s go for where you live. I'm assuming if you had to ship a s2k there it would be quite expensive

 

I'm pretty OCD about stuff like this. Any missing details really bug me.

I don't really see S2000s for sale here. Last time I saw one I think was like 7 years ago. A blue AP1 (I wonder if the one I posted was ever painted blue?...), seller was asking 7000 euro if I recall corectly. But I did see an ad recently by someone offering to ship an AP2 from the US (importing cars from other countries is quite common here), he's asking for just over 20,000 euro though... And it has disgusting rims on it.

Generally S2000s seem to be more expensive in most of Europe, with a good one fetching at least 15,000 euro. Add to that maybe 1k for shipping, and another 2k to get plates for it...
