is it worth it?
hello fellow honda lovers.....i hail from the world of the ep hatch.
well i am always looking for an s2k. it's been my dream car for a while now.....well my dream car thats within reason of course. anyway i would like to get something damaged and be able to fix it up or drop a new motor in it. for one obviously to save some money and two because it would be a good project. i was wondering what you guys think about this car. looks like i just need to replace the front and back bumpers, the side quarter panel? and the headlight and tail light. seeing as how it's being sold for 11k it looks like a really good deal but what do you guys think? it has a salvage title so does that neccesarily mean it has more damage than i think? it is said to have no damage to the frame and the engine runs like new. it's a 2002 with 18k miles. please post your unbias opinions. hopefully one day i can join your ranks as an happy s2k owner. thanks guys
(mods please move if this thead is in the wrong place)

There is a running and supposedly nice condition S2k on eBay for under $12k that has a salvage title due to flood damage. Getting that one tip-top will probably be easier than a lot of bodywork.

what would be the possibilities of damage on it do you think? would i have to swap out the motor and electronics? i would think something with water damage would be more of a hassle because you dont know what would be wrong with the car if it has water damage.....well i wouldn't know anyway.

Why not buy the white/red 00 or 01 w/70k available in the FS section for $14k that's never been in a wreck.
I'd take a car, especially a Honda, with mileage on it any day of the week before I'd consider something wrecked.

dont buy a salvaged car. ESPECIALLY not a flood damaged one. The one in your pictures is jacked up. dont buy it. I used to work for insurance, they would NOT have totalled it if it could have been fixed for cheap.
