Default Just viewed red S2000 in Bolton

I've just been to look at the 31000 mile S2000 in Red on AT. Disappointed (but not shocked) it sounded and looked promising from the photos and long ownership. The only thing on the photos I wanted to look at closer was the drivers side front bumper which looked to have a poor fit. On viewing it was obvious the rear bumper had been painted, the front has had a knock (maybe nothing major) and as a result the front edge of the wing has been marked and it also looked to have been painted. Passenger door was pretty scuffed up with chips/marks and the interior wasn't great. Didn't look any closer after that, just went home.

Real shame as an 05 would have been perfect as it's the lower VED band too and it wasn't 100's of miles away as I'm based in the North West.

Care to share the reg. An old owner on here might be able to shed some light on it.

Yes, of course: FL05 HDV, I didn't want to say too much or link to the advert for fear of breaking rules on the forum.

I did and MOT check and it's only done about 10K since 2008 so it did about 20K in the first three years. Like I said, I was optimistic but it wasn't great.

The black 2007 26000 mile one on piston heads also looks nice but it's a long, long way away and for some reason it has one odd silver caliper whilst the others are black looking at the photos. Again it reads like a good one. The reg of that is ML07 FLJ

No it has disappeared. It was still showing on eBay. Maybe they are increasing the price as it had a higher price in the window than the advert.

it's on eBay on completed, red one at £13999. Is have been gutted if I hadn't seen it thinking I'd missed a really nice one. In reality it didn't look like it.

I smiled when I saw the post pop up. I had a Suzuka blue hence the name but Bolton, Mass. across the pond.
