I know Hondas deal with mileage very well, however what would you consider a lot?

I currently have the option to get a 2003 Silverstone s2k with 86k miles for around $12,000 or less. (Says its never been raced, but waiting to get more information)

However there is also a 2003 s2k with 30k miles for around $15,000. However the description is as follows:

"2003 HONDA S 2000 30K ORIGINAL MILES COME TAKE A DRIVE THIS CAR IS THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS STREET LEGAL/RACE READY MINT IN & OUT 09 FRONT & REAR BUMPERS 09 HEADLIGHTS JDM MOTOR & TRANNY W/LESS THAN 10K MILES SPOON CLUTCH & FLYWHEEL ALL EMBLEMS SHAVED OFF INVIDIA TITANIUM EXHAUST 110 TIPS CUSTOM WIRE HARNESS COMES WITH JDM ECU & AMERICAN ECU BRAND NEW TIRES NEW OE BRAKES & ROTORS ***DUE TO HONDA RECALL HONDA REPLACED THE REAR END"

This makes me worry about the condition he kept it in. I also don't recall there being a 2003 recall...

Really looking forward to finding a good deal on an s2k so I can officially join the owners club!

Thanks!

 

if those 2 were my options, i would go for the first one since that second car looks like its been probably beat to hell.

 

Something about the second one just sounds fishy if its a 03 why dose it have AP2 front and back with head lights? (unless he just did it to do it i can understand) And "JDM MOTOR & TRANNY W/LESS THAN 10K MILES SPOON CLUTCH & FLYWHEEL" if i understand this correctly it has 30k miles on the body and the motor has been replaced with a JDM motor WHY?

I have a 03 with 100K+ miles runs like a champ ZERO problems just depends on how the car has been taken care of.

 

I second that.

I wouldn’t buy that has heavy mods. There should be no need to replace the motor ant transmission at 20k. It’s hard of r me to imagine someone would replace a basically brand new drivetrain just for the sake of going jdm.

 

I bought my 2005 with 95k miles....Runs beautifully. I would stick with the first one just by the sound of it.

 

Thanks for the replies.

The first one sounds like a pretty good deal depending upon what information and pictures he gives me later.
Better than most of the deals I've seen on here actually.

I figured the one with 30k miles was ruined by intense racing.
Its a shame to see someone ruin an s2000 so young though.

 

yea i dont belieive honda ever "replaced rear ends" under factory recall.

 

"never been raced".

 

Thats what I'm hoping for! haha

 

Stick to stock.

Even if it has been raced, it was within stock limitations. I spent all day in VTEC on the road course when my car had around 50K miles, was stock back then, I now have 216K on my 06, no problems.
