Yes i saw that one too. . .
the engine light was on. . . bumper was damaged and not aligned with the car, roof needs fixing and the interior was in pretty poor condition. . . and no log books. . .
its not on ppsr though lol, you need hell of a bargin if you wanted to buy it.
soo hard to find clean s2k these days lol

thinking of getting an s2k, found a blue one, abit cheap for what i reckon it should be with 100ks. Only recently bought a dc5r and i love the drive when im sitting in it but once i park it and walk off, it doesnt look any special to me, so i guess kinda a love hate relo for me with my itr, def want an s2k but without logbooks and service history... very sketchy >.> whereas my itr has all

Thats true. With the s2ks these days, if it looks to good to be true, it normally is. You cant go buy the KM readings anymore (to many dodgy wound back odos). Your best bet is to check general wear and tear that would go as more kms are put on. Seats, carpet, gear stick, steering wheel, engine cleanliness, how many bugs that radiator has snapped up.. Little shit like that will tell you more about the car than the odo (in dodged up car scenarios).

Not many car enthusiasts buy s2000. They treat it like a toy/vanity ride and therefore lack the attention to detail. The ones that do look after it obviously love it too much to sell it.

Soo.. these days we are left with poor conditioned s2000 to choose from :C
If there not much good condition s2k might as well spend good money bringing it too a better condition

[black8thgen]

or wait for a good condition one to pop up, they do come up, but get snapped up within 2-3 weeks

[doosra]

I sold mine in 3 days but surprisingly only got one phone call in 3 days so first person came saw it and bought it. I would've thought there would be more interest considering how everyone says how hard it is to find a good one.
