actually i was doing some research on bringing cars interstate, apparently (dont quote me on this - i wasnt able to find a reliable source) you can transfer parts of rego over and save you some cost on your rego in qld? well that might have only worked with transferring rego from another state INTO NSW, might not work for the opposite direction.Quote:

Did anybody else notice the AP2 that slipped past ebay. It was smashed but WOVR n/a. About 5k worth of work. 44000 kilometers. Sold for 18600.
Yup saw it on ebay. Got the Vin/engine number just for future references.Quote:

I've bought a car interstate before and what usually happens is the seller gets a refund of the remainder of the rego when the buyer gets it registered in another state. But that's for transferring into QLD.. duno about other states but I think it's probably the same?Quote:

Spoke to the guy on the phone and said the car used to have a glass roof but now has a plastic roof (due to a tear). Also what is with the red dash???
Thanks, Jeremy.
The full red interior was a mistake Honda made in 2003-2004. Bloody awful in my opinion.
Doesnt look right when the plastic bits in the hole of the front bumper are painted. Couldve masked that part off lol
2007 GPW S2000

Any and all information will be much apprecieated,
Thanks.
The car above looks pretty dodgy, if its only done 81,000km why replace the diff (unless it has been thrashed to the shit house). Maybe was a previous write-off (whole rear destroyed). These sorts of cars are cheap for a reason....get it checked out by a professional.
tbh anything that price with those k's probably shouldnt bother wasting ur time, 99.9% it is too good to be true
Thanks Jeremy_74.
When you say professional, will any auto-mechanic do or should it be taken to a Honda specialist?
that above car is now sold apparently, he said he replaced it couple months ago, hes owned it for 8 months and he assumed the s2k diff wudve went at 100000ks so he decided to replace it for the better. I was curious about that car but the diff and everything got me thinking, then he text me today saying it was sold =)
Thanks for all the info & help guys!
After months of deliberation on what to purchase,
I'd chosen the Honda s2000...had a look at one & was impressed.
Unfortunatly the boot was too small for my requirements.
So I've just put a deposit on the new Toy-baru (pending on a test drive etc.)
A White manual GTS86.
Mine will be for sale relatively soon..
pm me info? =D
hey guys im also on the hunt for a s2000 this one pop up not long ago im pretty keen on it i didnt want the rims and his willing to go down too 25 without a rwc does anyone have any info on this?
http://firesport.com.au/1999-honda-s...--ad216171.htm
lmaoooo.. i know the owner of this car and a lot about this car..
hes pretty anal with his car so its looked after well
pretty sure a couple of boys can vouch for this car as well.. good luck on whichever one you decide to buy dude!
hey guys does anyone know anything about this car,
http://www.carsales.com.au/private/d...rice:Min,Max~1

What a waste of a great car. Why would you ruin a car's performance for something so horrible!Quote:

My knowledge of cars is quite basic, so I'm here to learn and get some tips off the experts (I've already learned a fair bit just by reading a few threads!). I'll definitely be getting a professional inspection on the car before I get it, but if you were looking to get an S2000s for yourself, which ones below would you cross off your list immediately? Colour is not very important to me, I'm more interested in reliability.
One

just because it's worth nothing to you doesn't mean it's a worthless item
As you said, worth is subjective. They are worth to you what you are willing to pay for them. To me they are worth $0Quote:

LOL u caught my ninja. I was unsure of the definition of worth/value and was mucking around with it and decided to delete it.
anyway, they're worth to me what someone is willing to pay for them, not necessarily myself.

And I also find it chutzpah to compare gold to some bling bling tasteless wheels.
See regardless if you think my piece of gold is ugly it has material value just like those filthy wheels
Hence my first comment
thanks for playing :thumbsup:
Ahh, yeah, ummm, touché. <rollseyes>
And your first comment is still, shall I say, worthless.Quote:

Hey Guys, Ex Honda driver here (had a Euro until I sold it earlier this year, miss my Hondas :(). I sold the car intending to purchase something along the lines of a 135i/370z, however keep finding myself thinking of and looking at S2000s, have always loved them!
Anyone know anything about this particular car? (Apart from those shocking wheels.. had a quick look around the forums and didn't find anything)
http://www.carsales.com.au/private/d...sort=~Odometer
I've noticed that it's been for sale for a while.. so thinking there also may be something wrong with it apart from the rims LOL.
If anyone knows of any clean S2Ks in VIC PM me! also willing to travel interstate if the car is worth it.. ;)
the 04 model should be an ap2, what's weird about the one above is that it has the ap1 headlights.
That one is a repairable write-off. Good luck with your search!
Correct. No logs, owner is rude + intentionally ignorant to the car's dodgy elements. Stay far far away...Quote:

If anyone looking to buy is a true S2K enthusiast there is a late model AP2 in VIC for sale, seller asking for 40k. However, I know there are definitely other cars I'd be looking at in the 40k range..
Yeah i've been in the hunt for a few months too.. and its a tough, tough market =.=.....
and yeah i agree, the problem with paying 40k for an s2k is that there are many other vehicles i'd probably be looking at getting for that sort of money. Only if i had the spare cash and already had another car would i spend 35+ for a truly clean and rare s2k
you live in sydney, and you're telling me you can't settle on one?Quote:

Yeah after speaking to a few s2k owners I've realised there's always going to be some faults with a 10+ year old car. And its a matter of finding one with minor faults as opposed to major ones.Quote:

Anyone know gone out and had a look at this s2k..
the car was on gumtree a while ago and i also called the dealer up that the previous owner traded it in to and they said the reason its on PPSR register is because of a suspension problem - they say no physical damage etc but yeah whatever to be honest id stay away - there's a reason that car is still for sale at that price and those k's - its been up for a good 3+ months (never sold on gumtree hence the trade-in).
Ahh thanks man, pretty hard finding a good condition s2 these days.
Do all the s2 have diff whines? Or is it just the fuel pumping in..
u gotta pay to play with s2ks i tried searching for ages with a lower budget and yeah unless u settle for high ks and stuff there's no way
I just picked up a silver with red leather ap1. In absolutely immaculate stock condition (only two small scratches on the entire body, minus three or so stone chips!) with 57,000kms owned by a 54 year old for the last 7 years. The prev owner kept a folder with reviews on the car along with a bunch of other s2000 related documents. Full honda log books. Had it checked out as well with no accident history or previous panel work. I was looking for ages. They're hard to come by in good condition that's why you pay for a good one.
I'd sell it for the right price but I'm in melbourne ;)
Pmd ya!
Yeah, i also checked it out a couple of weeks ago, apart from the suspension the detailing of the car was terrible. Looked like a poor respray had been done, there were i'd say roughly 10 chips around the car, the most noticeable one was on the front bumper it was pretty big and a poorly job done on the patch up. Rust could be seen inside the mechanics of the soft top. I'd stay away.Quote:

Not in a rush anyway
what's your budget if you dont mind me asking? I just found myself one yesterday, going through all the checks over the next week and probably pick it up next friday. Had to up my budget a good 3k though lol
Pm ya man
Hi all. I am also one who has been looking for an s2k on a tight budget. High km in good condition is not easy. Does anyone know about any history on this one on carsales? http://www.carsales.com.au/private/d...5&sort=default
2002 model, 177,500, Silver with red interior, enkie 17", $22000 price tag
I looked at a black one on carsales with 99,000km, $23,500, why would you look at one with 177,000 km when there are better ones around that range. Just my 2 cents. Plus the black one was in decent condition and well kept minus a few little things.
The extras are what I'm leaning towards as I can't afford to spend the extra on the wheels. Suspension etc. Does anyone know about this car owned by Omar from endeavor hills.
I've had a look at this one dude.. it's definetly had a history of repairs. car's been resprayed, one of the front headlights are silver and the other is black.. The valve cover gasket is leaking all around it..just didn't seem to me like a clean example.. not worth th amount he's asking for..

this ones been repaired at the front.. engine does not sound healthy at all even though oil levels were sufficient. has very loud tapping sound. sounded like a diesel motor. really showing its age.
http://www.carsales.com.au/private/d...sort=~Odometer
just had a look at this one last night.. obvious from the pisc, it's been resprayed.. panels dont colour match at all, looks patchy.. it has sever power on vibration, indicatin CV joints are on their way out.. But other than that, it runs smooth, gearbox a lil more notchy than usual due to age i guess.. if anyone can be bothered with getting axles changed over after purchase and dealing with off colour panels.. Not a bad car..
http://www.carsales.com.au/private/d...sort=~Odometer
this one is modded, the ad mentions its not, it's clutch is really squeeky and sticky.. indicates something is up there, whether its just a bearing or the master/slave cylinder.. guards have been rolled and paint flaking all around em. has fog lights and a black lip on it, not updated in ad. rough car, didn't bother driving it. not worth 24k
i just want to add, those are my opinions and what i have observed. in no way am i telling anyone not to buy the cars or not to bother.. that's just my observations and my conclusions on the cars.. i've inspected a lot more of them but cbf posting em all up.
If valve cover has oil around it what is that indicating? What do headlights cost each?
think it means the gasket is gone, i dont think it's too much of a job, but who knows why it's leaking in the first place and if there is anything else up.. don't know how much you'll find an original ap1 passenger side headlight for.. check ebay or the for sale section here.. generally the ebay ones are also silver..Quote:
