that would be a price im willing to live with... Im gonna see if the guy will take the car with me to a honda dealer and get a diagnostic and if the buzz is the only issue this one might be the one... just cant stand that terrible noise 
Wait i thought these guys said it would go away if i replaced the clutch disk with the better oem one? Im just thinking 10750 for 2000 model s2000 with 82k is a okay deal? its bb with red/blk interior

I think what he means is that its only a noise not an indication of a problem. Top down and/or music turned up makes it go away. When I bought my 00 in 02 it had the buzz and the dealer changed the clutch and the noise went away, but returned and is still there.

I used to have an '01 that had a really loud clutch buzz. I honestly liked it though. It made the car feel more raw in my eyes, but I will say that it did bother me when I had a passenger in the car. Not because they were bothered by it, but just because I thought they might be bothered with it. I think only one person ever really commented on it though. I say buy the car and live with it!

My sports car makes noise? Piece of junk im buying a Prius!
But in all seriousness listen to Billman as well as the countless others. Get and OEM disk ACT HD Pressure plate once you get the money or the buzz annoys you too much and your golden. Also that price seems a little high to me. I paid 11,2000 for my 2002 three years ago with 69k on it.

My clutch buzzes like a fridge (actually, its gear backlash in the trans during engine braking... oh well)
My pads squeel like pigs when cold.
My 4.57 diff howls like a wolf.
My winter tires humm like a bumblebee.
A drizzle on the softtop sounds like a waterfall.
Windnoise above 220 km/h (top up) sounds like a hurricane.
Windnoise above 180 km/h (top down AND windows down, don't be a pu$) is close to deafening.

As for the buzz I'm FI with the ACT pressure plate and their street disk. It's probably louder than the OEM MY2000 but I can time my downshifts by the buzz without looking at the tach and it's always nice to let off the throttle downtown between big buildings and watch people looking for where that noise is coming from.
