Default My JDM Type V VGS S2000

Well guys put a small deposit down on this today, travelling a 6 hour round trip to collect her tomorrow.

Not seen her yet, as it was only up for sale for a couple of hours when had phoned, said he has had a ridiculous amount of interest, so had to be quick, so deposit was made.

Here she is

Not trying to put a damper on but-
Rear electric windows, Trip computer. Two things an S200 never had and Solid Paint. the first line says metalic?

Just had another look, there are no headlamp washers as stated.

And are you aware it's a JDM import?

And they don't say the real age of the car, the plate just shows the year of import and UK registration.

Ok mate, yeah i see that, so the owner doesnt know much about the car?

Yeah no headlamp washers, what does that mean? looks better imo

Yep aware its an import

Yeah i see that also, guess 2008 was the import date, but its clearly a AP1 51 plate?

It all means be careful, these "dealers" don't seem to have premises so you need an address, if you are serious get a HP and status check. and as you said they seem to know nothing about the car. I'd take along someone who does.
No headlamp washers means why the feck have they put that in the ad! again they don't know the S2000.

If it's all good then looks a bargain and very under priced?

You sure all is what it seems?

It won't have heated mirrors either.

Hope it's been well cared for

My guess is, they copy and pasted from another Ad. be very viglant. My first S was a bit rough and it ands up costing alot more than paying the extra few thousand on a newer cleaner car.

Check Check and Check again frome every shut line to every VIN stamp and engine code.

Dont get caught with your pants down, as others have said its cheep, if you check everything and it turns out to be what its supposed to be well done and enjoy it

Old proverd, "If somthing seems too good to be true it probably is"

By custom all I can see is different wheels, a fog lamp dangling under the back & a couple of sticker on the boot.

Just using the eagle eye of experence, look at the car and make your own mind up.
