Would you rather buy 68k miles vs 125k miles with notes inside
Hey Guys,
Both cars are same year and color. One has 68k miles and the other 125k. Driving both, they both seem fine. Exterior and interior look similar in quality. The cars cost within ~$5000 of eachother
The 69k has..

The 69k has..
- 7 matching VINS, fender VINS do not match car, bumper was resprayed
- Fenders look to have been rolled at one point
- No mods but was likely lowered with wheels at one point judging by the rolled fenders.
- Missing the full jack kit
- Was last serviced end of 2016, only 3-4k miles put on since then
- new oem softtop
- no mods
- rebuilt head as preventative valve seat loss.
- All vins in tact
- all maintenance done and accounted from hoses to belts to brakes all current.

Without knowing anything else and in pure theory I would buy the second car but I bet if you looked close enough you could find substantial differences in maintenance and component wear. It really depends on your goals though, do you just want to get into a reliable s2000 and drive, drive, drive? Or do you want a garage queen that holds value? Do you want something else entirely? Personally, I would go with whatever is the better combo of well-maintained/not abused and likely to not lose too much value.

The 125K miles car seems to be the better of the two for the most part minus the "rebuilt head as preventative valve seat loss". Is it a fancy way of saying "this an AP1 that has its retainers replaced"?
