Default Would u buy an 04 with 50Kmiles!?

Hey,
If any of you guys had to get an 04 with 50k+ miles would oyu think about getting it if was at the right price? how much would you expect to pay for a mint high miles sk2... I need a new car since my 944turbo has been giving me problems and i found one in the paper but its very high mileage like i said. if i can get it at the right price i was gonna think about getting it, but i wasnt sure if it was worth it with that kind of miles... i was interested to know you other guys opinons on this matter...Thankx all..

He said 50,000 miles, not dollars.

Depends on the price. Maybe for low 20's. But I would rather spend a little more for an 04 with less miles, or just get an 03. Do you know the differences between 03 and 04?

It really depends on the price...

If I had to...MY 2004, 50K+ miles...probably low $20K - $22K range...certainly not $25K or more...If you don't plan on modding right away, does the seller have any extended warranty from Honda? A 1 year old sports car with 50K+ miles is a pushing it in my mind.

Kelley Blue Book shows $19,500 private party in EXCELLENT condition and about $18k for GOOD condition. You can probably find lower miles..for example there is a '01 with 10,000 miles in the Bay Area for $21k. But if you are stuck on getting a the newer model (2.2 etc.) then it would be a good deal for about $18k. This is a Honda remember....if it is taken care of, high miles are not a big deal. Good luck.

Their are lots of people on this website who own well maintained S2000s with 50k or more miles. Millage does not matter that much if the car is well maintained and not abused.

Oh and if the price is right.

No. Way too many miles for my comfort in such a short time.

Please don't be scared off by the responses to pass...We are not suggesting to go look at another kind of car, just another Honda S2000...50K+ miles in one year is a bit much in most peoples minds for a "almost-new" car.
