This has been for sale on CL and auto trader for a while. It seems like a good deal, but I bet it has a salvage title or something.

Does any one know anything about the car or the dealer? I think I might go check it out tomorrow. Thanks guys.

Lul repost?

Whats up with all these threads. Only you can decide if an s2000 is good. You need to check it out in person, then should have a mechanic check it out after you decided you can detect little or few problems with the car. The first two s2000s I looked at had been in wrecks. Even if the carfax doesn't report it it can most definitely have been in a wreck. (The rav4 that had been in 2 wrecks then totaled by my brother wasn't listed as salvaged or wrecked on carfax)

Oh, yeah, guess it is a repost. Didn't see that other thread. Thanks.

All right. Found this one:

2003, silver, 18k miles
1 owner, clean carfax, garage kept. $14.5k

I am going to check it out tomorrow. I guess I am just posting this for the heck of it, cuz this seems to be a steal. I got my s2ki car buying checklist and I am ready to evaluate it!

Woo! I might have found the right one after years of waiting and searching.

I will be driving it 4 miles to work and might take it to the track every once in a while.

Tell me more about your car Hansen. I might be interested...

But also, why is that expensive? that is 2k below BB value.

that price is pretty good actually.
look at its miles. 40~50k miles would run about 12~13k.

Two decembers ago I paid 16k for my '04 with 36.6k. I would definitely go for the silverstone. Low Mileage, '02/'03 is the best years for AP1, and its a private sale so no sales tax? I paid like 1k in taxes on mine.
Look under the car for curb rash. Maybe others can recommend what you should look at, but I can't think of many things that would go wrong with that low mileage. It is 9 years old almost though.
