looking to buy an s2k recommend prices?

[Baby Face]

well, im checking it out this thursday, buying a moving permit and going to drive the car to a Ultra tune so a mech i know (his dad has an S) can look over it for me.
will also do a PPRSC(or w.e the new REVS is) check on it.

if its all good ill buy it and take it to the inspector next day.
the seller has agreed to the terms, he says he is mechanic too but has no time since he works as mech and on construction.

he will accompany me too the other mechs work shop.

we should be paying mid - high 20s for a late ap1v2 with low kms or ap2s within the first couple years. the later ap2s should fetch low to mid 30s.. trying to insure it for what you paid, should prove my point to you. those 30xxxkms couldve been the most abusive 30xxxkms that an S has ever seen.

think of it this way. car can have low kms, doesnt mean im going to spend an extra thousand dollars for every 10xxx kms less the car has.. 18k for an S with 130xxxkms or 28k for an S with 30xxxkms. the S you buy for 28k is the exact same age, regardless of how much it has been driven.

this is true when in the buyers shoes. however if one were selling im sure most ppl's view would change to lower Km's = Higher Price

Silver one was bought for 11k at Merc/Lexus osb park as a trade in - had farked roof and body was scruffy down one side (sprayed now). Roof mech didn't work at time - prev owner fixed it. Was traded in on an SLK iirc. Other than that, seems decent.

Just checked my phone, number matches haha. Same owner that I met. Nice guy, mechanic at said dealer of Merc/Lexus place. I sold him some BBS LM wheels - didn't pay much attention to his car admittedly. Pretty sure he got yellow'd? By farked roof I mean tear but wasn't working at the time. Re-iterate - not damaged down one side, just scruffy.

That's about all I know. Call him - he's a decent guy from memory.

yeh we spoke over the phone, the BBS LM rims is what got him stickered because they poked out too much LOL!!

The car is encumbered (has finance on it), make sure he pays it off before you purchase

It says it's financed through Mercedes Benz which would make sense if he purchased it from there

[charlie15]

Which silver one are you talking about?

[Baby Face]

ok, so there is money owing on the car still?

meaning if i were to purchase i would take on that debt.
