The black one has been up for sale for ages and so has the red one.

Print out the link, drive them both and compare. IMO, i wouldn't buy a car that belonged to a P plater but thats my opinion. The red one looks tidy but i would ditch the rims.

I really think the seller should have taken down the P plates before taking the photos.

It might not mean much, but it's a mental thing, no idea what the young kid has been doing with the car, could have got over excited with the new toy and just trashed it ><

The wear on that black one's seat bolsters looks way more than 100,000km, but it could just be because of lack of proper treatment. buyer beware

I personally think, don't think too much of the photos and actually go check it out. If it drives well, and sounds well - it's all well. Who cares if they're P platers or not, it's not as if a Full-Liscenced driver won't thrash it. Just go check it out, I'd go for the black one, given that it's all good. My 2c.

thx guys/girls for the replys.

soo hard to find a S under 100,000kms for less then 25k. im leaning towards the red one iv seen a few black ones around and they look dirty if not taken care of

I've been looking at s2k's for the past 8 months lol, the good ones are gone in literally less than a week so keep your eyes open!
You might want to check out s2ki, there is a section for people searching for a used s2000 and they may know of the vehicle you're currently viewing.
It might cost something, but performing professional inspections may save you big time in the long run. Also take it to a mechanic and do a compression test along with other inspections.

Goodluck! I'll be buying one in about 3-4 months too haha

would u really buy from a guy named haasan??

[ing]

bahahahah im guessing your from sydney,
and the area too lidcombe,Auburn

if your fussy about paint, then the red one. The magnetic P Plate will leave a square of darker paint (even though its black) once you remove it. just my 2c. and also, cos red goes faster ;D

I think you should get out there and give both of them a drive. You can really compare after you have driven a couple. Year model and kilometers can be irrelevant, 100k soft kilometers is better then 70k Hard kilometers.. And be sure to check little things like scratches on interior, carpet, roof marks, rips etc. Gives you peace of mind when you are driving.
