Hi,

For sale is my really clean AP1v2. For those who are on forums its ALPS. i know i've spoken big and said i wouldn't sell ever again, but oh well.

I am an enthusiast, this is my second s2000 after regretting selling my first one. I have great love for these cars but it is time to move on and invest in my future and not a liability. i know i will regret this one too and will not move on, in future i will get another. so whoever buys this one must keep in touch, otherwise you aint getting it.

The AP1v2 model has glass soft top with defroster, tweeters in doors, chrome finishes here n there, pockets in the doors, revised ECU map which has 10 hp more than standard AP1 and few other bits n pieces. I flew all the way to QLD to pick this one up.

This model can actually be insured for what you pay for it. Market value is more than a '99 AP1

as soon as i got it back to melb, i took it to Carl @ CRS Automotive and it has had a beyond major service done for peace of mind. cost me almost 2k. receipts available. it has also just recently had its 5k minor service done. Also had its rotors machined and new pads put in. Car still has 9 months rego left

Only modification to this car is that i have rolled the guard/fenders and an aftermarket stereo.

I am looking for a quick sale. price is firm at 20k, will not go lower so do not waste your time. car owes me heaps more.. i'm sure people will be bidding more to have this car. as it is really hard to find a clean s2.

Regards

Alp
Hey bro

calling your car a liability isn't how you sell it...

ALPS
13-08-2013, 03:31 PM
those who think a car isn't a liability and who deny it, should get smart. lol new or old, faults or no faults, it is still a liability. not an investment. actually i take that back, there can be that scenario you find a cheap run down car which in original/good condition is worth good money and you can actually make money out of repairing/restoring, then yeh, investment. but other than that, liability.

Hahaha. I think most people refer to the glass rear window models as the ap1.5 or v2.

AusS2000
17-08-2013, 06:35 PM
Firstly, all AuDM S2000s are AP1. Don't believe me? Check the compliance plate.

Then comes the Model Year. This is different to the year of manufacture. A Dec 02 is My03.

That will define the specs of the car.

AusS2000
17-08-2013, 06:36 PM
Mine is an MY00 with Honda rear glass window. ;)

ALPS
17-08-2013, 06:38 PM
ap1v2 has chrome finishes on headlights and chrome ring on tails.. factory tweeters on the doors, pockets on the doors, chrome finishings in certain places on the dash. relocated headlights washer button, glass window with defroster, revised ECU map pushing 10hp more. n some other shi7.

the wheels are a different finish to i think.

ok so those that say they want an 04+ because the Rear suspension isnt as twitchy as the AP1, in reality the only difference is cosmetic. since its all f20c same engines right?

No, the suspension changes n all that are still there on the audm model. only the engine is what didn't come across..

That is correct. There were all sorts of incremental changes over the years but the compliance is based on the engine and the Australian market didn't warrant retesting. So no 2.2L, no AP2 designation.

yoshii
18-08-2013, 11:40 PM
So then the 04+ AUDM models still includes all AP2 updates bar the 2.2L engine, and it's respective changes (redline, torque etc)?
For example, everything on this (http://www.benzboost.com/showthread.php?39369-Official-AP1-versus-AP2-Honda-S2000-comparison-broken-down-by-changes-each-model-year)list (yes, it's a benz site for what it's worth) bar the engine related dot points still apply to our 04+ cars?

Ignorant comment. Are you suggesting that the AuDM shouldn't have had the incremental changes or that the car should have gone through the range of compliance tests to increase the engine size by 200cc (and reduce the rev limit) for the less than 500 cars sold since 2006?

I just think whatever Japan got we should of got! My comment is more so directed at the AUDM DC5R vs JDM DC5R with such raw features watered down for us Aussies. But being a S2000 thread I didn't bring that up and just made the comment in general.

Most AUDM Hondas were watered down before getting here! Then theres the cars we didn't get such as the FD2R and EK9. Then so many Nissans, toyotas etcetc but don't wana go off topic :)

EDIT : then people would be doing F22 bottom and F20 top for complete awesome-ness!

does anyone with an AP1 have a factory fitted alarm, i have the stickers on my windows its from Prestige Honda in perth, every now n then the alarm goes off randomly.

but its sounds like my cars alarm has different attributes to others.
i press lock and it takes about 5-10 seconds then the indicators will flash (once or twice forgot) and do the beeps but the beeps sound more like weeps.

when at a friends house the alarm went off consecutively i would stop it re-alarm then go back inside.

any ideas?

Hi all, new member and on the hunt for an S2000 - this thread is great.

if u wait a silver one with a hardtop will come on during september. it was on gumtree before but the guy said he would use his september break to re rego the car and sort it out for sale.

guy seemed nice, and price was decent before. but make sure to revs check as it had finance when i checked and i told him so he said its on the list of things to be fixxed.

however it could all just be BS

Come to Victoria and buy the 2003 ssm one up for $29,000 or there's a nice ssm with red leather with 62,000km as well in another state.

Few good ones atm. All asking a pretty penny but I guess that's expected with all the shit heap s2ks out there

Yeah I'll keep my eye on those ones. Keen to make a trip down to Victoria to check out any offerings once I move east, seen some great cars listed and sold there. I anticipate it being pretty easy to move between the east coast once I'm based in Sydney. It's a bit of a transit when you're in WA...

Top one looks dodgy with no grill, painted rear diffuser and questionable bonnet line. Front and rear collisions?
Lower example looks like fenders are rolled, stanced suspension is for looks and obviously metal has been cut to make the ap2 rear lights fit.

muzukashi
25-08-2013, 09:58 PM
^ +1 first one definitely looks dodgey - That radiator is definitely not stock, not sure if its just the pics but the rocker cover looks faded as, the painted rear diffuser also raises alarms, the edges of the bonnet looks chipped/rusted? bonnet definitely doesn't line up & missing grill/tow hook cover.

Probably a bad front end repair job and cbf'd to replace the small bits, i'd personally stay away from that one.

I'm glad you didn't drop the price on carsales by too much. So many ppl are in a rush to sell and drop it below what it's really worth. Kills the entire market. Patience is all it is.

Re:370 have you driven one? I was in the same boat a few months back when I wanted to sell my honda for the 370 until I drove one. Each to their own but I thought it needed more power. The engine only really pulls you when you're in the passenger seat. And the s2000 still wins in the handling department. It is newer though and does look awesome but i didn't find it to be a better car than my s2000 (for 10k or so more). in the end i didn't bother buying one.

Still don't understand how the park brake light is on if fluid is low..

beanz
02-09-2013, 09:01 PM
It's a combo light, handbrake and brake system indicator.
It's not a brake pad indicator if that's what you're referring to.

dc2screama
02-09-2013, 09:06 PM
I understand that..
What l mean is when I put the hand brake down the light was still on I asked the owner why and he said its because the pads are worn and when you change the pads then the light will go off when handbrake is down??

beanz
02-09-2013, 09:13 PM
I guess the owner could be correct in that the pads are worn and there has been more fluid drawn from the reservoir to compensate for pad thickness - and the light comes on to show the reservoir is low.

Having said that if the car is being maintained on a regular basis the reservoir should be checked and topped up if necessary (or pads replaced).

Putting new pads in would push the reservoir level up and correct the light - but if pads are being changed you'd generally flush the lines so it's a moot point I guess.

I guess the owner could be correct in that the pads are worn and there has been more fluid drawn from the reservoir to compensate for pad thickness - and the light comes on to show the reservoir is low.

Do s2000 tend to burn alot of oil like a b series?

beanz
02-09-2013, 09:25 PM
I'm not familiar with b series engines but I need to top up my s2k oil every 5 months or so and I use it as a daily. It's not excessive though, have a golf gti and that tends to consume a lot more.

Geee every five months! I reckon that's pretty good compared to when I had a b series I would have gone through 3+ 5L bottles in 5months!

if pads are low the fluid would be low too, try top up fluid and see if that does it. or maybe the switch damaged.

Hey guys.

I got an 02 s2k red, stock, just over 30,000km on clock. I might be putting up for sale shortly. Going to use it for a wedding shoot toward end october, but after that should let it go.

Just a heads up incase you wanna wait! Ill list it closer to the date tho.

Bit of history; full service by honda. Second owner, first owner used car for shows, and resprayed bonnet and FL fender to remove imperfections. bought with 20,000km.

As you could guess, ive had no problems with the car. Last service was a major cos it hadnt been done in a little while, and next service is due and will be done this month.

Pm if you want info, but car isnt up for sale yet, and ill be looking for premium $.

In the meantime: 90% of white s2ks i see are not original so be weiry

More than likely the sound is caused by the sussy but until that can be verified by someone who knows what they are doing or unless he fixes it prior to sale it looks like it's gonna be hard to find a genuine buyer or else it would've definitely sold by now.

the fact that he wants $2000 extra for him to register it suggests that there is something dodgy.

edit: interior looks tired as well. Missing S2000 front badges so probably repaired at some point? Tyres look shagged and rear left was low on pressure. Looked like a decent scuff on front bar too.


Probably pretty good for it's price though if you are willing to fix things after purchase.

Every 5,000 is ridiculous. It'll need an oil change done at most - which can be done at home.

John42td
18-09-2013, 09:50 PM
Depends on driving conditions. In the service manual it states services intervals for different things. Severe driving conditions, dusty,muddy, short trips requires more servicing. Honda will want to see you as often as they can :)
I'd be worried if it went more than 20k without a service but preferable 10k oil and filter minimum

hardly overpriced for $27k.

an AP1 is worth really anywhere up to $30k depending on k's and condition.

133-150km and really clean everywhere I'd say ~$22-25k?

If you look at cars interstate, you can pick up a decent 2003 with under 100kms for about 23k

Paying over 20-22k for one at the moment with over 150kms I would say is too much. With the prices on carsales for cars in VIC some would beg to differ.

there is one 2003 for under $23k with under 100kkms in Australia. It's in SA, god knows what condition it's in.

there is one other for $23k with 165,000km on it. The rest are near $30k...

Many people have found previously that the cheap end of S2000's are often utter bullshit due to not being looked after. Sometimes you might get lucky.

I would suggest that no sellers are agreeing with you... otherwise you could find one.

Not trying to pick a fight. Just after some advice.
From looking at the prices I think it's fair to say that a clean AP1 around a 2000 model with around 100kms is worth about 22k that's if it's very clean.

Reading this thread as well shows that alot of people have purchased very clean ones with alot less than 100kms for around 25k.
I don't mind paying 25k but I don't think it's justifiable when they are sitting on 150kms. It is simply too high.
Yes there might be supply and demand but all the ones with 150kms advertised for 25k in VIC have been sitting for sale for months.

If you were right they wouldn't be there.

I can tell you first hand after a good 2-3 months of constant inspections both in NSW & interstate that 90% of the S2000s are in homo condition.

Anyone who knows their S2Ks or actively monitors the market will quickly realize that the REALLY clean ones sell damn fast (0-2 days) even if the guy is asking for 2-3k above market price, this is one car that has WAY more demand than supply (amazingly)

When i was in the market everyone i spoke to were telling me you need to pay a good 23-26k for a clean AP1 most likely past 100kms at first i was really skeptical and after inspecting the first 3 i started to know why. Take it from me if you are really keen on an S bloody hell make sure you pay more for a clean one cause some of the train wreck examples i've inspected made me damn sure i wanted a good one, You really gotta pay to play when you are looking for the S unless you want to end up with blown difs or dud roof bills.

agree, the interior has a lot of plastics that run down the wides of the footwells, and they scuff easily and instantly makes the interior look crap.
the roof elastics going is something you will probably just have to accept as normal unless the person you purchase from knows to change them.

Very insightful. Looking at the ones in VIC. Most of them look to be in pretty average condition and none of them come with logbooks.

Will have to wait a while longer.

i payed 26500 for one with 33Kkms i think perth is a LOT cheaper with these things.

Yeah seems eastern states have a secret tax on s2ks :(...

the S i bought wasnt even advertised on carsales - previous owner posted in this thread (or a similar one) and within a couple hours it was mine.. i had been looking for about 10 months and this was the first with full service and ownership history and in really good condition. '03 with tan interior, had 68k on the clock and got it for 27k down from 28.5k (probably could have haggled harder but I didn't bother - was pretty happy with its condition inside and out).

I had checked out cheaper options but there was ALWAYS something wrong with the car (which warranted the lower price), such as holes in the roof, signs of previous accidents that were fairly well covered up but owner said zero accident history, prematurely worn-out interior, oil leaks, etc.

But keep in mind this is a 10+ year old car so if you're looking for a "perfect" one.. it's gonna be a long wait and you're gonna need to fork out a little extra than you initially would have wanted most likely.

The patience pays off, well at least for me it did. I'm sure others on here can attest to that too. If you're genuinely keen on getting an S, I would recommend waiting it out and trying your best not to 'settle' too much for a cheaper example. How long have you been looking for?

I have noticed most S2000 I have looked at have scratches on the dash and other interior plastics. Is it common or just unlucky with the ones I have seen.

24-10-2013, 11:06 AM
The wait is definitely worth it! I brought mine within 1 hour of knowing it was for sale as i was sure if it went on carsales it would probably be gone within a day or two, the amount of people who camp carsales for these cars is amazing.

Cant see any scratches on my dash or console but some of the more common things are the seat bolsters will 95% always have some type of wear and tear on it and your usual scratches on the door sills cause getting in and out of the S is truly a bitch :thumbsup:

daevilone
25-10-2013, 11:30 AM
Since you were looking at an s2k I assume the roadster nature appeals. If so 25-35 is easy Z4/ boxter s money.

Though if you're willing to spend that much why not just go get one of the numerous more expensive but very good s2000s that seem to be on car sales atm. Interstate isn't too bad.

EP3TYPER
25-10-2013, 12:24 PM
I have tried dealing with a few of the people interstate and to be honest I just want to avoid it.
Not necessarily after a roadster I just liked the s2000. At this stage I am leaning towards a Golf R32

I test drove a 370z yesterday. It was quite good in comparison to the 86 I also test drove. The 370z I'd actually pretty fast, I was expecting it to be a but slower.
Definitely gives me something to think about.
I did drive a new GTI golf too and don't think I can justify the price.

27-10-2013, 08:39 PM
I've seen it written time and again the s2000 isn't the fastest in a straight line or round the corners but overall it's been in the top 10 car choices many many times over the last 14 yrs.
It's about enjoying driving top down, vtec, rear wheel drive, stiff chassis, excellent road feedback, great turn in etc etc. It isn't perfect but tell me another car sub 60k that does all this any better? I want a car that I have to drive not a car with a computer that takes control.
I've had v8s,turbo sixes,4x4, 5cyl turbo, been in a 950hp gtr but nothing compares to a run thru the twisties with the top down listening to the vtec sing. (Unless it was an s2000 turbo or SC) :)

srry for any confusion i have been causing.


definitely, an 86 is a option if you need something soon, theres so many around. i must see 3 a day an i only drive for about 30mins a day (in perth which is quite behind the times)

This is my car and yes it has been for sale for the last 6 months, due to the fact that I have moved interstate for work. There is no logbook or spare key as it has been lost by my uncle, who is the first owner of the car. I have service receipts from 50,000 km onwards the rest was in the logbook. I have not been trying to part out the car, but it seems every person that messages me asks if im willing to remove parts to make it cheaper, and I give the same response to everyone, wheels and ecu as they are the easiest because I have no time. I have honestly disclosed all history/info of the car to interested buyers and willing to do the same for anyone here. There are members on here that can vouch for the car and im only asking 27k because I believe its condition and mods reflect the price. The car is still in adelaide and will remain there unless I feel that I will be interstate long term, in that case I will bring the car with me and continue my build. If anyone is interested I will not hesitate to disclose all info and provide detailed close up pics. Please PM me if you want to put in a reasonable offer and NO part outs. I'm not in a rush and as ive said to all the people that messaged me, worst comes to worst I keep the car :)
