Query about buying a s2000

**Oinking** · 30-07-2009 06:32 PM

Hey guys, i'm looking to buy an s2000, and i've found an alright one, but when I did a REVS check, I found out that it was a repairable write-off. I talked to the guy and he explained that he had bought it and done it up and everything checks out bar one. He said that he doesn't have a Log Book, but he's replaced the clutch and Gearbox about 3 months ago. My question is, if you buy a repairable write-off, do u not get a Log Book with it? And will Honda still service the car? And if they will, will it be more expensive? Oh and will this affect the insurance on the car? Thanks in advance for your replies.

Honda service? yes, you pay the money, they do the job. and i dun think they will charge you extra if everything goes right.
definitely, the write-off record will affect the insurance on the car...

IMO, i ll never touch a vehicle has write-off record, no matter how good the car looks now~

I wouldn't go near a repaired write-off for starters.
Log books, can be lost, miss placed with all cars write-off or not.
Honda will still service the car yes and no it wont be more expensive.
Im not sure if it will effect the insurance but id ask the insurance company just to be sure.

But like I said, I wouldn't go near a car that's been written off then repaired and even without logs or any solid information about the cars history, the write off could of been from hail damage but at the end of the day the choice is yours I would stay the hell away from this one.

I guess it'll be a pain in the behind if it does screw up, and the insurance is going to be over the top. Thanks for the advice guys, i guess i'll just keep looking.

27k for a repairable wirte off? that's too much, also you will be having a nightmare when it comes the time to re-sell....

27k for the silver one is a rip off. considering its a repairable write off with NO log books. Also it has 100k km on the clock. Factoring all this in I wouldnt give the guy anything over 22k considering the price for a straight 1999 model S2K with over 100k kms.....

Theres a nice white one for sale on here for 25k or so....check that out.
