Hi guys. I recently inquired about the following s2k;

http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/honda-s2000-2000-11739389?cr=42&distance=25&vertical=Car&eapi=2&Page=3&sort=default&VNAV=A&__N=1216%201247%201252%201282%204294965322%2042949 64924&silo=Stock&Range=Price:Min,Max~1

I'm wanting to know your thoughts on the vehicle and if anything i haven't spotted yet (interior/exterior).
The vehicle is interstate (NSW) where im from Melbourne & is it worth the hassle of travelling interstate.

Thanks.

Silver is not rare lol
Check the side support on the drivers seat (tends to get very worn in that area) you can not see it in the photo. And no photo of the roof? Garaged? Might be very weathered.
Looks ok.
Tips to check are fluids of course. Coolant overflow for sludge in the bottom. Vibration on acceleration. Clunky gears only after its warmed up.

Hey Preme (love your name lol)

Thanks I like the simple clean look too. Not sure the previous owner must had sprayed them, It looks almost charcoal with a bit of gloss.

Looks in pretty good nick and very low ks. Best thing to do is to check it out yourself. It's hard to judge a car based on what people say on these forums. A lot of people hate on cars that they have no real prior knowledge of. Just follow the basic check list of what to look for in a good used s2k and if everything checks out you'll love the car
