s2k hunt continues!

[black8thgen]

shit wtf LOL i thought he was talking about the white one in QLD on carsales.....

NEVER MIND. My bad... i was looking at this just as i woke up...

I'm talking about this one: http://www.carsales.com.au/private/d...k&sort=default

And damn that white gumtree one looks pretty legit but OVERPRICED.

EDIT: I also remember seeing a white 02 model GPW with full red interior at a dealership down in VIC - someone on this forum took a look at it and said it had once been in a big hit. There COULD be an unlikely chance it is the same one? The front H badge on the gumtree model is an old 99-01 badge rather than the 03 badges as well.

haha all good man, I started to wonder whether if we were getting mixed up with different adverts after my last post :-P.

That one on carsales looks worse than the gumtree one. Just a few things I can see, but could just be the photos is damage on the front lip (visible in picture 1, but under the 5 on the number plate in picture 10/11), issue with the paint where the side skirt meets the front bumper (picture 11), colour of the front bumper looks different (picture 11), obviously fake red badges?, no headlight washers?, rear bumper is like 1~2mm hanging (picture 6)?

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.

1st gen. Boxster S

In all honesty and not just because I bought the s2000, I was never sold on the look of the first boxster. Strangely I think they look a lot more dated when compared to the s. Plus my mate had one (think it was the s), cost him an arm and leg for his minor services and around 1k for the major. Plus when/if something goes wrong your bank account will know about it.

I looked at a late model mx5, Evo, s15 (had previously), wrx, ve ss-v, 350z (which I've owned previously as well) but I ended up with an s2000. If I didn't find a clean one I reckon it would've been the mx.

In saying all that, I wouldnt say no to a 05+ boxster given that I had sufficient funding for maintenance.

Just you know ... hes been looking for about the last 6 months for a decent S2k and has seen almost every one on the market around him.

Correct. I have not seen this exact one (which should tell you that I didn't even think there was a point in going out to blacktown to see it).

The fact that the front bumper has been resprayed and also a bit out of alignment was enough to put me off. (But i was VERY picky about choosing my s2k, hence why it took me so long lol).

Better off looking at something like this.

You have to be picky though ... otherwise your money will be vaporised pretty quick.

[black8thgen]

Yeah too true. Too many people told me bad stories of 'settling' and regretting so I took their advice and it paid off.

[pheestyle]

Hi all, I think I've come to the conclusion that a clean s2k within my budget is hard to come by. Therefore im looking at Alternative vehicles such as the gen2 mazda 3 mps.

Is this a good decision?
