Buying a s2k

Seen this car on carsales, hasn't been there too long. Don't know anything about it but sorry. Looks to be in pretty good nick from the pics, have you taken it for a test drive / inspected it in person yet?

Good luck with finding one =) hopefully i'll be in your shoes shortly.

Just wondering whats that thing sticking out of the carpet on the drivers side, seen it in the s2k never knew what it was but

Yeah went for one the other day. Got it compression tested too. Just worried that it's been through too many owners. Ru referring to the plate on the matt? It's an s2000 badge in the floor mat

Could be any reason with so much change overs on owners like 1. person bought it after a few months didnt like it got inpractical etc, 2.peson lost their licence 3. had to many cars home 4. dude got kids etc the list can go on on and on but as long the the car is clean and runs well. why not.

Did you get an RACQ test on it too? i heard people said they give a pretty thorough check of the car.

Not the badge on the floor mat, behind that. Looks look a rectangluar thing sticking out of the ground lol

All S2000's have a chassis brace under the mat running from 1 side of the car to the other. Its runs across where the OEM floor mat sits.

Whoops lol ah ok was wondering what that lump was!

@ darkii thanks for that idea re racq. Am just about to see a silver one so we'll see how that goes. Has 20k less kms than the blue one I'm looking at. Where you looking @ darkii? Brisbane/nsw?
