Same pics/ad from 2 years ago?
nobody wants it cos it look like someone was shot in there...
Former Brisbane / Gold Coast ozhonda members car - Damien. He did all the cosmetic mods - custom bumper, Chargespeed CF lip kit, rota wheels, coilovers etc.
He sold it about a year ago to the current owner.

^ thought he was a member. i remember reading one of his diy threads for coilovers. looks like a nice car for a good price also
I remember it on carsales more then a year ago? And was it sold in sydney? When i search carsales its usually on NSW setting..Quote:

The guy now is a total loser, I tried to buy his AP2 tail lights once, and he kept agreeing to a price, then later on calls me up increasing the price.
To this day, he still calls me sometimes asking if I want to buy parts off him randomly, such as mirrors and the tail lights still.
Also, I don't think he knows much because he struggled when talking about the tail lights.
LOL. Car is probably in good shape though.
hey ive checked out that car. car is in very poor condition, miss matched headlights and i swear the guy didn know shit all about the car. Didn know where the cd stacker was etc. so i dont even think it was his car at all.. also had a green p plate on it so im guessing its been gunn'd mechanically. Oh also the other 2002 s2k is a repairable write off.
You talking about the black one with the 3M bonnet? Yeah when I asked him where he bought it he said 'auctions' lol suss much.Quote:

I'm a bit picky with picking up a s2000. I'm focusing a lot on the kms purely for resale, I know people would prefer higher K's that's healthy bla bla, I would prefer that too but in reality for resale lower k's is better. There's a black AP2 up for sale but 124,000kms but it just seems so high for an AP2 haha. Was looking to spend like 25k but can stretch it further for an AP2 lols. Anyone had a hard time selling their s2k above 160,000kms?
Mine will be for sale for ~$24-5k in a few weeks time. Babied all its life, full log books, Honda serviced even while built motor and S/c'd. 2000 model, genuine 131000KM's. Will come with AP2 headlights, tail lights, bodykit, and possibly the AP2 bumper and lip, if not AP1 bumper and lip, OEM seats back in, OEM spoiler and original motor back in. I might even end up selling it with the black Meisters if they don't suit the new car.
I'm hoping to get about $24k with stock wheels, maybe $26K with Meisters.
Just have to take the built motor out first.... =(
Sounds good, especially knowing how much you babied this thing (read the forums haha)Quote:

oh so u didn't sell it? It was on carsales for a while right?
uhm im not sure about the silver s2k's engine as i didn even bother bringing my mechanic. theres a really good s2k that just recently went on sale. its done about 140 000km's but its engine was one of the healthiest ive seen. and ALOT of the s2k's on carsales/carpoint are repairable write off's. its quite depressing...Quote:

Do you reckon those RAC people are good at checking out cars thoroughly?
Nah still got it, just stripping it.. Guy just came and collected the roof.... =(Quote:

Anyone have any ideas or know the history of this car?
http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/...d=132ECE1D298D
speaking with the owner, its in my price range, just want to be sure of everything before I fly down to VIC to have a look lol
maybe ask for the vin and shit before going down, vechile history check it
is revs for VIC as well or do they have another system that they check against?Quote:

Thoughts/opinions?
Bleh so confused haha
I'd probably get the AP1 if its a 2002+ model, or if its got the rear glass window. Less kilometres too. Test drive both if you can.
Yeah its hard though because ones local and the other one is interstate :( the AP1 is 03 model so its good in that regard.Quote:

Which 2002 S2K is a repairable write-off again? Someone link me because I'm looking it up soon as well. That yellow one in VIC looks pretty decent pablos8.
grrr >>>>>>>>>>.
brad i was going to buy , then bought a house !!!!
the black one with a 3M carbon wrapped bonnet is i thinkQuote:

in regards to the seats - they don't seem that bad. What if it was a slightly chubby dude?
can log booksand km's be faked easily? yes i know it's ugly but that can be fixed easily
FML this is annoying how many of them are lemons.... :(
oh and yes my bad, it's definitely the one they were talking about
Too many lemons. Ive wanted one for a couple years, then shopped for one for almost a year. Then i spent over budget and finally got a good one! I drove 6 prior, 5 were major lemons, one wasnt bad, and then found mine.
Oh shi... U finally got one. U gotta tell me on PA lolQuote:

Any thoughts and advice before i make the final payment would be greatly appreciated.
Pretty good price for that kms.

Are you sure the km's are genuine?
I think I remember people talking about this in a different thread but seems good from the ad.
Please don't start a new thread on the same topic of buying a new S2000 when there is a thread 3 topics down...
Threads merged.
