Who here have moved from a DC2R, DC5R, EP3R to a S2000?

i think i know which one ur tlaking about it. the one on gumtree? ive checked that out a while ago (was up for sale 2-3 months back) and it was very very dodgy. shit engine bay, roof was fkd, condition overall was quite poor and the owner was himself not the most straight-up guy. stay away!

Thats true. With the s2ks these days, if it looks to good to be true, it normally is. You cant go buy the KM readings anymore (to many dodgy wound back odos). Your best bet is to check general wear and tear that would go as more kms are put on. Seats, carpet, gear stick, steering wheel, engine cleanliness, how many bugs that radiator has snapped up.. Little shit like that will tell you more about the car than the odo (in dodged up car scenarios).

Not many car enthusiasts buy s2000. They treat it like a toy/vanity ride and therefore lack the attention to detail. The ones that do look after it obviously love it too much to sell it.

why would anyone in the right mind want to move from a DC2 Type R. come on....

Soo.. these days we are left with poor conditioned s2000 to choose from :C
If there not much good condition s2k might as well spend good money bringing it too a better condition

or wait for a good condition one to pop up, they do come up, but get snapped up within 2-3 weeks

I sold mine in 3 days but surprisingly only got one phone call in 3 days so first person came saw it and bought it. I would've thought there would be more interest considering how everyone says how hard it is to find a good one.
