If this was a horse they'd say that it was "rode hard and put away wet".

How does a 2008 go through a full restoration ?, geez, that can't be a good sign. Maybe if it was a 2000 MY, but not a 2008. That valvecover looks terrible for a 2008.

Wrong wheels.

The coilover setup looks bad, and BC is a de-grade from the CR OEM suspension.

This is a bad example at a fraction of the asking price.

The way I read that ad is that its a "CR" conversion, not a real CR

I was wondering that as well, so it likely is not a real CR. Though they refer to it as a CR model. It could be a fake.

It is a real CR, I think the "conv" refers to convertible. They really did make a mess of the car.

It is most likely a real CR that has been modified. It has many of the details that most people wouldn't go to when trying to convert. Iv never seen a converted one get the tonneau cover. VIN would be best way to confirm.

Most of the mods are not significant and you could restore this easily. I would be concerned about the maintenance on the vehicle with the mileage but I don't see this as being a bad car to buy...just not for that price.

I love the look of the ABP CR's, probably my favourite colour, this one needs a substantial discount to make it more attractive.

Interesting to see the S2000 Pricing on today's AutoTrader listings across Canada. Not alot of choice and big spreads in pricing.
