If you are looking for a clean car, and you are spending good money, I would walk from this one. White S2Ks are rare, but they come up more often then you think. Wait for a good one. $29,900 + taxes is too much for a car that has been hit and repainted IMO.

Finding a really good one can be hard, very hard, but not impossible. Don't rush. There is always something wrong with a used car. Mine for instance has a ton of stone chips, but everything else is good. Makes me wonder where the previous owner drove it.

So be patient. You will be happy when you know you bought a good one.

Patience, my friend. I'm sure we've all been there when sourcing our cars...checking trader and kijiji every single day, double guessing yourself about letting that one listing go...But in the end, when the right car comes up, you'll forget about all the waiting and searching, and just look forward to all the driving! My car was stolen in 07 and I didn't replace it until last year. In that time I saved up enough cash to purchase it right out a well! Good luck with your search.

If you are a cash buyer locate a Honda certified car which I did. There are plenty across the border. I got mine an 08 mint for $23,000 CDN. Very simple process. I would stay away from this car.

I just checked and there are no Honda certified S2000 models available in all Ontario. However, there are lots across the border. In Baltimore alone there are six. That is the route I suggest my friend if your looking for a clean car with no history of accidents and or modifications. This is an easy car to get across the border as the 08 model has drl's and you just push a button to switch the odometer and speedometer. Good luck and be patient. Your car is out there.

In the "s2000 talk" forum there was a thread on buying honda certified. Most people went with the non honda certified, cause the ones that were seemed to crap out soon after. It almost seems like its just luck.

That GPW for 30k is ridiculous! Its a super rare combo, low kms, but 30k?

Yeah, that woodbridge GPW is out to lunch. It does look good, nice all OEM and could be mint but he is at least $6000 over priced if not more since its only an 04. I think the Canadian book value is around $19,000. I hate it when guys try to really take advantage. A couple thousand for being mint mint and GPW as a premium I understand, but for just a few thousand more you can get a 2009.

I sold my 2003 with 32,000 km last year for $18,500. It had a parking lot bump repaired from last owner but still... the rest of the car was mint. Its a $11,500 difference for 1 year! lol...
