Default s2000 for 15k?

I was wondering if it was possible to get a good s2000 for 15k or less. It would be paid in full cash if it were to a dealer and of course it would be to a private seller not much choice their. What i mean by good is the mechanical as well as the seats, paint, etc... Im looking for around an 03 with 50k miles on it.

If you go to autotrader and put 16.5k max (figured i may be able to talk them down off that possibly) put in 60k or under miles and you do any distance you get 56 results i was wondering if these cars in particular would be worth it or if im only willing to spend 15k am i going to have to wait for an extraordinary deal to come along to get a good one.

60k would be my max on miles and 01 is the oldest i would want to go.

I recently picked up an '02 with ~45k miles (no wheels or tires as I had a set) with some nice mods for $17k from a private seller.

I would not be afraid of more than 60k miles as long as maintenance wes done and there are records. It's a Honda.

Got a 2001 with 60,000 miles for 12,500 from a private seller. Had a 2004's interior, and was repainted due to him rear ending someone. Not salvage, just new bumper.

Because im only going to be able to get my hands on 15k max.



I still have to sell my rsx-s so if you havent sold your s by then i might be able to come up with the 2.5k because thats a very tempting deal.

I paid $15k for my stock '01 with 63k miles from the second owner (a Honda mechanic) and with a year left on the CPO warranty. This was in Miami where these cars fetch a slightly higher premium, and a year and a half ago before the economy made prices plummet
