I had mine on carsales for over 2 months, just on 32k but not one bite. The damn thing is near perfect, 104k's for a 2001 model with 2 sets of original rims(black set and orig set), new 02 roof, re-trimmed seats, leather centre console, perfect paint Silverstone, HR springs, larger sway bars, engine and strut top bars, CAI and Fujitsubo Legalis cat back. But not one bite. So I am keeping it as a rare weekender, unless any of you know who would be after one like this.............PM me to discuss....
MRK.
hey guys how much is a s2k model 2002 black with 40xxxks, how much will you buy it for.........?
I would be paying around ~32-35K if it was in good nick and all service history logged.Quote:

heres my situatio.. lost my licence for 9 months (speeding).
gonna get it back march 09. Looking at a few cars currently... im looking at either 02 FD rx7, r34 skyline gt-t, or a r34 NA skyline, and now interested at an 01 s2000. im 20 years old..... and was looking at some quotes for these following cars as "stock" from just car for full comp insurance.... i done a s2000... and was shocked to see that its premium is more costly for an s2000 as compared to a rx7? Does anyone know why a s2000 is greater than a rx7?
p platers like crashing them.
rx7s are twin turbo
edit: sorry read wrong. im suprised the s2000 is higher.
Exactly, its more likely you will find a written off S2000 at the auctions rather than the RX7.
LOL! So you lost your licence and you're going to get into something quick to loose it again! Maybe you should be searching for a Fiat 500!Quote:

Alot of factors come into insurance not just the fact that rx7 is quicker then s2000. They are both very expensive top rang "sports" cars.
When I had my celica back then, my insurance cost was the same as my mates 5k eg "GL". and my car was 22k. One of the most important factors is the "accident" rating. How common a car is, the area you live in also your driving history plays a major roll in the prices. Power plays a very small part in the insurance cost.
i dare say there are a load of s2000's out there without insurance . Or alot of people must be out of their minds paying $3-4k to insure a car.
Im laughing , as my insurance is only $735.00 this year. And the car is insured for $45k :cool:
how did u get your insurance so cheapQuote:

People are more out of their minds driving without insurance. Fair enough you can afford 30 - 70k to loose your car depending on how much you bought it for... but can you afford that other persons car/house/properly. Mind you a street lamp will cost you 3k if you hit one.
my insurance was $1250 a year insured for 47k
shop around , but ive got mine thru a company called "pay as you drive" as it is purely a weekend car , we have it insured for 10,000kms a year. I can top up the kms in 5,000kms blocks for about $150 IIRC.Quote:

im tempted to get a R34 GTR now, as i can get it insured for $1800 !!!
i was quoted by just cars for stock s2000 '01 4500$
$4500 a year !!! + servicing ($1,000 average) + general maintainance (tyres , parts $1,000 average ) + depreciation ($1500-2000) a year .Quote:

same with the rear bumper
the black plastic between the 2 exhausts are painted too
either this car had a respray from a different colour. or it was in a pretty hefty accident
or maybe the owner just wanted everything black
white s2ks dont stay on the market for long. especially with those kms on itQuote:

Any Melbourne-based S2k enthusiasts who knows their stuff want to come with me to check it out on Sunday? Can thank with beers/beverage of choice.
i'm sure someone has gone to see that car, its been on the market for a while
I think it would be real difficult to find an early AP1 that hasn't been involved in some sort of accident, small or big. It is scary though, as i totalled my old '00 AP1 into a few tree's, it was writen off by my insurance company because of the enormous damage to the front and rear. Strange how it's currently for sale on CarPoint looking the same it did when i owned it.
LOL, I was looking through the other night, and I swear about 1/2 of them have had resprayed front bars. All the white ones have been resprayed... as well as numerous MCB / NFR's.... its crazy.

kinda makes sense if you ask me.. how can it have "passed" 5 x racv tests (which i assume are not cheap) and nobody has bought it?
Carsales is weird like that though, I've had my S2k on there for 28k with only 67000kms for months, and barely had any interest what so ever, yet when i was looking for a black one, they would all sell within a day-week of advertising.

more like a bargaining tool if you ask me! 20k hello!Quote:

you havent had your car for long? i thought i was the only one that sells cars quick only had my mps6 since august and its on car sales !hhm if i sold mine yours would be on the radar..Quote:

whats your reason for sale? is it the pic/camera or did someone take the badge of the guards? not saying your car has been in any sort of bingle.. just strange anyone would want to take them off..
Yeah had one of my front gaurds resprayed from previous owner nicking the gaurd on his bricked garage. Didn't bother buying new badges so got the other side taken off. Considering going and buying badges as it makes the car look dodgy but its cheap enough so it'll sell in due time now.
And yes I did purchase the car end of october but selling as i've purchased a skyline & want to buy a house.
Dayne
fair enough man and true not every car without the badges is dodgy! yea know what your saying man hard to have toys and save/buy a house!Quote:

just the guy does seem wired
he said it was his brothers car 6 months ago and he owned it for 18 months total 2 yars in his family
Maybe his bro wrote it off no insurance so he got it fixed it and now trys to sell it?
why would you tell peple you have had it inspected 5 times and not one sale. he even said sumone came down from sydney this weekend but said coz it was a sunday the person was worried they couldnt transfer it into their name that day and drive it back? so left empty handed? that doesnt even make sence???
If he was honest and said " box is stuff" for example or anything else then id acually consder the car for that price not just lie and say people just dont have the money and cant afford that car
we all got the money but dont want to give it to him
I was considering going to melbourn to look at this car (flights are only $65 atm) to look but i'm sure i'll be dissapointed like everyone else so i may be giving it a pass
please anyone else know anythign about this car let me know coz i am still kinda insterested
whats the carsales link?

Front bumper and rear bumper have been respayed

i don't know you really have to go check out the car yourself, take it for a drive, get it checked out etc.
My mate knows the white s2k owner
He bought the car in December for around 25k hoping to make a profit off it, thats why it was forsale for 33k. My friend said that his mate told him it was in a major accident and you can tell just by looking at the car caus its in shitass condition. I've met the guy but haven't seen the car.
Another one of my mates went to look at the car before we even knew about the accident and said it was one of the worse condition cars his seen. nothing aligns, crappy wielding in the enginebay because of accident it was just bad.
And the description? I wouldn't buy it just because of the description lol.
S2000 seats recaros?Quote:
well kept Leather recaro seats
Looks like he will be making a loss out of it now considering you take into account servicing, rego and insurance...Quote:

hey bro i don't know if you can help me out but i actually put a $200 deposit transferred into his account to hold the car, however after a friend pointed out this thread i told him and asked for a refund which he agreed to. i have copies of our sms communication which specifically states if i find anything wrong with the car that it would be fully refundable.Quote:
