Alright guys, the partout is almost over and now we need to move on to the main event...my sled. I am a car designer by occupation and a certified car nut. Cars are important to me and I take care of my $hit. Here are the specs:

2005 Berlina black/black
Bought new in August 2005 from Honda of Buena Park. Broken in according to the owners recommendation with the engine/tranny/diff fluids changed at 1000 miles and the CDV removed at the same time. At the time of the first big oil change (7500 miles) the mechanic scratched my fender. When I took the car to have the scratch buffed out, my detailer told me that my paint was the thinnest he had ever seen and incredibly soft (which is a reputation that Honda paint has in general, but the S2000 specifically). So, I began filing warranty claims with Honda to get my car repainted. Long story (very long story) short, Honda paid to have my car repainted. It has a $5500 paint job from Marco's in San Gabriel. Almost no orange peel and plenty of clear to work with, it is really a beautiful job and blacker than the blackest blackness.

I have always used Amsoil in the engine/tranny/diff after the engine break in period. Engine has been changed every 5K, tranny and diff every 10K. Fluid changes done by Spugen.

It has the following modifications/features:
Swift sportmach springs with Koni yellow shocks
Slotted brake rotors-brake pads replaced in the last 10K miles
Shine front bumper with custom grille insert
Ventureshield clearbra on bumper/fenders/hood/mirrors/lower rocker
Dynamatted trunk/doors/floorboards
Countersunk shiftknob
BYS Honda side emblems
OEM Clear sidemarkers
top replaced by Honda of Pasadena 12 months ago


The tires (Falken 452) are 2 weeks old. I also have 2 binders with every record of the car from the original window sticker to the tires I just installed...everything. I am not trying to brag or boast, but this car is immaculate in every way, needs nothing.

I live in Pasadena and work in Irvine, so my commute has put 73K miles on the car. However, never has the phrase "highway miles" been more appropriate. Never raced or tracked. I have also taken on car detailing as a hobby because of this car and the paint is in beautiful condition. I am having a carbon fiber splitter/bumper protector installed by DTM Autobody in the next couple of days to protect the new bumper.

There are a few guys on here who have seen my car and can vouch for its condition. Because of the condition of the car, the extensive records, and the care that I have taken of it, I feel comfortable asking 20K for it. It is at the upper end of the value of the car, but it is worth every penny.

Here is one of the binders (I have 2) of the car's records



Thank you to all of you that have made this a very rewarding experience and I truly hope that whoever buys the car will take care of it the way that I have.

Anyone who is interested should definitely pick up this car it's in BEAUTIFUL condition!

I've seen Ben's car more than once, and every time, it's been in great condition. He's really anal about the upkeep of his vehicle (in a good way!).

When I bought a piece off of him a while back, he pointed out a tiny imperfection I wouldn't have noticed, and discounted the piece because of it.

Ben's stuff will be as advertised, and he's a great seller. And I guess he's an ok guy too.

I have seen Ben's car in person and I can vouch for the cleanliness of it.

Good seller here!

Good luck to a fellow new dad

You are a good person!

Bump for you Ben! Good/honest seller. I saw this car in person last Saturday. It is pristine! Ben's careful with his choices of mods and even more meticulous with the look and finish of this car!

Ben,
