s2k, target car. thoughts?

[kevinicus]

Hi guys, looking to buy my s2k and liked
http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/private/details.aspx?R=6828859&__Qpb=true&Cr=5&__Ns=pCar_RankSort_Int32|1||pCar_Price_Decimal|1|| pCar_Make_String|0||pCar_Model_String|0&keywords=&__N=1216%201246%201247%201252%201282%204294965322% 204294964924%20898&silo=1011&__No=30&seot=0&tsrc=allcarhome&__Nne=15&trecs=43&__sid=120350AAD1CF

due to its low kms and young age in comparison to other s2ks available on the market.
has anyone else have comments on this car ?

[Danio]

overpriced don't you think? you can almost buy 2 99ners for the same price ;)

[ludecrs]

pfft.

AP2 looks > dated AP1 sex spec hectik uleh lifestyle.

Buy it. its a good buy.

[chicken8]

been for sale for awhile though

something about it just doesn't look right

seems like its sitting higher than stock height?

[AzN_Allstar]

yeh way too much and yes somthing dont look rite i just picked one up like a mth ago for 30k and my one looks ways better and just a bit more ks

[AzN_Allstar]

and s2ks look shit without lips

[chicken8]

i think the price is more than fair

considering new they were 75k or so.

i sold my 02 last year with 50km on it for 40k

but yeah. it just doesnt look right. cant put my finger on it though

[kevinicus]

is the position of the wheels right?
their a little but to one side

[kevinicus]

id just like to post another black s2k to contrast the two

48K ap2 vs 37K AP1 any thoughts?
there is a lot more kms on the ap1 compared to the ap2..

[Ferrari]

I would never pay 37k for that S. Mine with all the mods, with 80k on the clock, would be lucky to get 35k I reckon.

Probably be lucky to get $35K for mine as is.

[kevinicus]

What about this 02 black s2k mate... http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/private/details.aspx?R=6683239&__Qpb=true&Cr=1&__Ns=pCar_RankSort_Int32|1||pCar_Price_Decimal|1|| pCar_Make_String|0||pCar_Model_String|0&keywords=&__N=1216%201246%201247%201252%201282%204294965322% 204294964924%20898&silo=1011&__No=0&seot=0&tsrc=allcarhome&__Nne=15&trecs=43&__sid=11FD3EFB6C8B

[JAP-S2K]

Bit $$$$

[Simy]

i picked up mine, blue 99 model with 117 for 28k 4 months ago. even i think it was a bit pricey. had some minor mods on it

Very exxy... and no rego too :D

[JDMWhore]

overpriced don't you think? you can almost buy 2 99ners for the same price ;)

Totally agree, its a bit of a rip off..

[ludecrs]

Who wants a 99'er when you can afford to have an 05'er?

Hmmmm, would I rather a VL Commodore, or a VY SS?

[jimmiboi]

:p VL is better

[chicken8]

i dont get why people are saying this is overpriced

i personally think the price is very fair

try to get a 99 with under 50km and see how much that'll cost. then an 05 thats 6yrs newer with all the factory upgrades will seem quite a good price

[Crapdaz]

i'd pick up an evo IX for that amount.

[ludecrs]

i dont get why people are saying this is overpriced


Notice its not any S2000 owners....

[chicken8]

Notice its not any S2000 owners....

yeah

and the price has only gone through the floor the last couple of months

AP2s were still going for close to 60k end of last year

only now have we seen a couple in the 40k range

and these guys are all expecting them to sell for 35k. 73k when new and 3yrs later its 48k. thats a pretty good discount if you ask me

[chicken8]

this is by no means me suggesting to buy this vehicle as i still believe something doesn't look right on it

which is probably why the price is so low

[preludeman]

il wait till ludecrs sells his s2k then il snap it uP :D! =p till then prelude it is

[AzN_Allstar]

Probably be lucky to get $35K for mine as is.

lolz ill buy your one for 35 ludecrs look better than mine lolz

[CONAN]

car in the original post looks fine - the pictures are just really sh1thouse especially when taken in the rain using a flash. And car needs a wash.

At least the AP2s have come down in priceee..

[aowwllan]

Probably be lucky to get $35K for mine as is.

sif man LOL MORE! cares what people think..

keep it until your a G'father! so much blood and swet went into that car of yours

[johnshakroo]

lol 45grand take it, way 2 many ****s around my area driving s2000s, nothing specail anymore. grr

[Uncle George]

$48 for a 2005 S2000 isn't that bad is it. Specially when it has only done 35,000k.

I got my White 2000 S2000 for $38k, 64,000km. (but that was a very impulsive buy... )

[lonelybutterfly]

i have my S advertised on carsales for 25k including mods in perfect condition but high kms. and even asking for 25k i find it very hard to sell. it's been 2 months now and only 1 person came and looked at it, total of 3 phone calls.

[aowwllan]

damn.. i should upgrade to my Z4 earlier than expected. =P

thats cos yours has mods and a new numberplate

stock s2000s are easier to sell

thanks for your advice rob, i thought about returning it back to stock but i was lazy. anyways my s2000 is sold pending payment sometime this week or next week.
P.S i sold your MR2

[chicken8]

how much you get for it?

what you getting next?

[lonelybutterfly]

well i lost my licence, and i wont get it back for another few months. but i wanna stick to honda

[chicken8]

wow. maybe you should drive slower?

almost lost your license just on the test drive and the cop was saying you've got alot of previous infringements

ok guys ANOTHER potential car :)
comment please :(

[JAP-S2K]

The price ain't to bad considering it's an 05. Could be worth a looking at. It looks neat. Pity it's black, i wash mine and 5mins later it's dirty. Ha!

[kevinicus]

black cant be that bad?

[ludecrs]

That things been for sale for longer than I care to remember.

[chicken8]

i think normally that'll be a turn off for me too

but taking into consideration the economic slowdown. i'm not too suspicious about it not selling quicker
