It's the blue one...you guys think this is a good deal?
For this price and if you think it only requires some typical maintenance issue to keep up, I'd buy it. The price is actually great, for 7.5, and I'm sure the seller doesn't know the current value of his car. Buy the car... and I apologize ... for some of our co-members behavior here.

Don't assume us old guys drive like old guys! My S2000 bumps the rev limiter routinely. Not all the time but so often I put an audible redline alarm on it. (Car is FlashPro tuned with VTEC at 3600 rpm so the revs climb fast in the lower gears.)

Price is either from a non-knowledgeable seller or the car is trash. Looks more like the first.

Maintenance records? Who keeps maintenance records? If the car is clean, has a good roof, drives well, etc buy it. You're gonna want full "new buyer maintenance" on it anyway. See the maintenance section.

Cant go wrong at $7500 if the mechanicals are sound and maintained.

You cant enjoy this car without decent rubber - set of tires about $1000

Top about $1000.

Both are good investments if the mechanicals are good

If the car checks out I'd not buy a set of 16" tires for it. Save up for a set of "AP2" 17" wheels and tires. There are good reproduction AP2V1 wheels available and other sets show up here from time to time. Much wider tire selection and lower profile tires on the larger wheels have stiffer sidewalls and a bit tighter handling.

Anything more on this car?

Original owner? No rust? No accidents? What are you waiting for?

How old is old? I'm almost 56 and drive mine like I stole it every weekend. Mine has been run hard since I bought it new in 2003.

That Sucks, Sounds like there could be some fraud going on there. May want to report them unless they are being totally upfront.

Keep looking, the right one is out there.
