I'm starting to think I sold mine too cheap.. but then again, it sold in about 3 days to the first person.
Doosra yours was prob sold at perfect price. No low balling? Did the guy just pay asking price?
I was looking for about 6 months seriously so yeah it's hell - don't give up though, my patience paid off
I wanted it sold asap as i already purchased another car so sold for 21k, 2001 model 112,000kms. Listed it for 24.
Oh my... What a deal that buyer got
It was a good car, I took it to their mechanic to check it out as well.. i sold at that prce because rego was up in a month and tears were appearing on the corners of the roof, major service due and 2 tyres needed replacing so not too bad for me considering I bought it for 25k and had it for 2 years :). S2k's hold value really well.
from when I sold mine to now when I look on carsales, seems like prices have gone up a bit
Sorry to sayQuote:

I've just started the search for an AP1 myself, but from reading this thread, a good example seems to be slim, does ANYONE know of a decent s2k available in VIC for a budget up to 25k?
http://carsales.mobi/cars/details/?R=13706404
I had a quick look at this one before I picked up another last week. It's had one headlight replaced with a light blend, small dent on the rear bumper, one exhaust tail has a dent also.
I should've scoped it out for a little bit longer but had my heart set on the one I ended up buying. FYI he told me he'd take 22.5 but its been up there for about 1 month now and he wanted it gone ASAP so maybe go have a look.
Keep an eye out on carsales. Some decent ones pop up now and again.
I had a look at that black one to. It had no oil in it when I first had a look, I had to tell him what oil to use to top it up. Last serviced at the start of the year and not once has he checked the oil etc.. Other than that. It was still running fine and was a half clean example. The front bar and headlight was replaced. Rear bar had a dent. No structural damage though. I told him I'd buy it a month ago and was ever since waiting for him to get it inspected by CRS automotive. He kept postponing it and obviously he was just waiting for someone else to have a look at it and buy it.. Don't know why he made it difficult. I just got turned off from all the ****ed s2s out there. Maybe in a couple years ill get an ap2.. Who knows. But not worth buying an ap1.. Way too overpriced. Considering insurance companies see their market value at 12k
Is there anything on carsales in another state, or is the one ALPS is talking about really the only half decent example in VIC?
From what I went to look at that's the only decent one (besides the one I purchased). Unless you wanna pay 37k, that silver ap2 looks clean. But I didn't bother as for 37k you can buy something that's actually newer and worth such a high figure (370z, sti etc.)Quote:

HI guys, my ap1 is for sale.Pm me for the link.
cheers tay
Geez. Fair enough. I would've thought for that price and those kms it would have been a genuine sale. I guess you can't tell until you inspect.Quote:

There's a decent 05 model SSM on as well, but i saw that up on gumtree a good 4 months ago and was taken down eventually apparently the owner got lowballed too much (anything on gumtree is gna be lowballed though). Owner said he wouldn't go any lower than 32k though. But he has king springs on the car =.=.....Quote:

Personally anything over 30k for an ap2 is too much. I'd buy a 370z for a few grand more.
I could never go to driving a jazz from a s2000.. once you've started driving nicer sports cars, it's just not the same to go back to a normal car.Quote:

On another note there's a a white ap2 with rpf1s for $40,500 - now that's a joke.
yeah s2ks are so overpriced right now, sellers know demand is high and are trying to pry as much money out of us as possible lol... I know I paid a premium price for mine but I was happy to do so for what I gotQuote:

I paid low mid 20's for mine and couldn't be happier that I spent that 2-3k more on buying a well looked after example. I'm also glad I bought a car which is in such demand - I'm sure we'll both get our money back in years to come because the examples online are shocking and demand has remained high since I last sold my first (in 2010).
Yeah I agree with you. I paid a bit over mid 20s for mine but was an 03 model with some other handy extras that I saw good value in. And yeah I am sure I'll get my value for money in years to come when clean, low km examples become even more rare to find :).
I'm the current owner and I don't know where you got your sources from but this is TOTALLY untrueQuote:

Lol mate i read what I read about it and was tryna help future owners out. Obviously a checkup will show it's legit if it really is. If anyone bases a decision to buy a car purely off an Ozhonda post that in the end is their own fault
Mate... leave it to the buyer... if they aren't smart enough to do the check the it's their fault. Don't hinder their sale by spreading rumors... it's disrespectful
You and I both know I wasn't trying to spread rumors. I was Sharing what I read over on s2ki. If someone was serious about the car I'm sure they would at least look up s2ki and dig further.
Either way, I meant no disrespect to the owner and if it's a clean car it will sell for what it's worth
No you weren't. You were talking shit... simple. Just because it comes from a forum... you post it up. Seriously...
Bowzer aka Bao and ATSE. he was talking about the 37k silver ap2 on there. Bao, is your car advertised for 37k or 40.5k? is your car white or silver? get your own mind straight first.. And we do not tell people to not buy a car. we purely discuss what we have found out about the cars that others may not have.. you know what forums are about, discussions and source of info. if you dont like it, dont sign up for them and dont log into them
plus i can personally vouch for Bao's car as it is a very clean example of an s2000 that has been looked after.. his asking price is a little high, but have a look at it, it's amazing. out of all the s2000s i looked at, i wished to be able to afford Bao's one.
mate stop being a tosser, if you're angry at the world then so be it, but the man was just speculating, and should anyone take anything that's said on an internet forum 100% seriously then they really need to reconsider how they're going to make it through life successfully.Quote:

Thank you. "You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to ALPS again."Quote:

Y'all play nice now.
Hey all, it's been awhile since I've had a repost in here but I'm finally back in looking for an s2k.
Pass my final exam so as a graduating present the old folks said go hunting :)!
I've got a mere budget of 20k~ and would prefer the cars to be located in Adelaide or Melbourne.
I know that's pretty limiting but those 2 cities I frequently visit and that I live in Adelaide haha.
So if anyone has any information. Holla please
Thanks all
nobody's gonna holla, they're all fighting for the good ones
Awesome one in Adelaide on carsales. Search reg plate "Dewey". He is asking around 25. But If all checks out that's a clean low km example.
If your budget can stretch out a little I'd be looking at that. Also circa 20k you'll be hard pressed to find a good one.
Also as mentioned previously in this thread the black one in melbourne with 99,000km for 23,500 is also a decent example. Other than those two, there's f all.
Good luck :)
Hahaha. Yeeeh i kinda have that feeling now that everyone is fighting for it.
They're just such a prime example of a quality car.
My brother had one 5 years back and that was pretty nuts to be in cruising over the west gate bridge with the roof off at night.
Im turning 21 soon so it's pretty much gonna be a accumulated gift, gonna try and milk them as much as possible now hahahah
go get the black one in adelaide looks schmick as!
jesus. if that black one is legit (kms n everything) then people can stop complaining about no good s2000s. i'm sitting on very similar kms and i would not sell for anywhere near that low.
to anyone that asks for "a good clean example" the answer is simple - go check out dewey in adelaide. if it checks out it is a bargain and a half.
Is this on carsales or what?
It's funny, normally I don't trust what people say on Carsales, but that car looks and sounds pretty legit.
What are those black circles in the grille?
And yes like I said go check it out it's a great price
Hay mun me car only drive by woman, nah redline or vtak yo ... u bai?Quote:

I dont trust it either for some reason..
also the guys name is duy
Pfft, come on guys. Just because it's one of the best looked after, lowest kilometre examples around, yet also "one of the cheapest in Adelaide"... That doesn't mean it's dodgy!
Also for 25k you can get something better
I'm an old mate of Duy's - known him since he was born. Don't post here much since my Prelude days have long past and I haven't modified my wife's Accord Euro since she's had it. Found this thread mentioned over on OCAU. I can vouch that his black S2K is legit kms wise and he replaced the clutch this year (no expense spared there). Paintwork and interior as he described - he's a fussy bugger with cars and took him forever to find that one in Mt Gambier. The black circles in the grille are some extra lights the Mt Gambier owner installed - extra lighting for his country trips. Of course if anyone was interested they would get in contact with him and inspect it in person.
I would go and have a look because I'm in Adelaide too but with my budget all il do is offend him.
What can you get for 25k that's better? I optioned up a whole bunch of cars (most newer than an s2k) but after driving all of them I still went with an s. I had a 25k budget to work with.
I think what sold me was that they're pretty rare, look better than most in the low-mid 20 price range and that they are discontinued meaning less depreciation compared to Car models which are updated after every 2 years
Anyone check this one out?
looks legits but asking bit much for the kms
Im guessing its the honda white colored tax

also ludecrs, if you are talking about the seats in the black adelaide one, i'm not sure how good your eyes are lol as the pic of the seats is from like 5m away. but i wouldn't expect perfect seats in any s2000 regardless of ks. i have watched mine deteriorate in the last 5k kms over a year, and have seen others with less ks than mine in worse condition than mine. only ones i've seen that are like new are retrimed.
from looking closely at the pics of the gpw one:
1. S2000 fender badge only on the passenger side - missing on the driver side.
2. passenger side bumper alignment is a bit out of whack (could be dodgy picture quality though)
3. seller claims its an 03 model (headlights and tails match up, as does the glass window roof), but from one of the interior pics the passenger side door does NOT have the tweeter (as all 03 models should). Can't see a clear view on the driver side door so could be a door replacement of some sort.
someone should go check it out though
s2000 fender badge is visible in the first picture on the drivers side :-SQuote:

the first pic is the passenger side isnt it? or am i going crazy........
That's what I thought, but its the driver side, identified by the antennae and the decal on the windshield which you can only just see in picture 7.
... we're both looking at the gumtree one though yeah? the one in manonastick's post?
