Agreed. For just about $3k more, you can have my 2004 that only has 4k miles on it.

(see sig for link.)

That seems kinda high. I'm buying an 02 GPW S2000 with red interior, 18K miles, honda certified used car for $22,000 out the door (TTL included) on Saturday. I would suggest trying to get the price lowered or keep looking.

that seems high for the car. i bought my 02 Blue with 22k miles for $22.5k last june. It was in perfect condition minus some rock chips on the lip but thats expected. It also has upgraded speakers, the rear spolier, and the voodoo shift ****. Also the interior is black (only blue one that came from theredealer this way). just from comparing mine to that, its high. shop around, you will find abetter deal

i got you all beat. Bought mine for 17k its a 00 and the synchro was already replaced. Mileage was 42k. 25k for a 2002?!?! Kinda pricey IMO. Must be a dealer.

I paid 22k for my 00' last may.. Only 17k miles on it, garage kept, and was flawless inside and out. I know the price was over the blue book value but the car was immaculate, couldn't pass it up.

That price seems a bit high but if you think the car is in good shape then go for it.

Actually it's funny you say that because it was primarily the reason. I wanted silverstone with red int and all I was finding was silverstone\black. I was close to settling for the silverstone\black and then the silverstone\red came around and I got on it.

i personally wouldn't but the price can be justified because you got what you wanted in mint condition.

actually a lot of the advertised s2 are about that much. Altough is true you could find a better deal. i found 03, with 3k miles, with a hard top, for 25,999. When i first got mine i got 01, with 12k miles. with the accesories. with the exception of the hard top for 22,000. just look around but if you can do with a new one go for it.

If you plan to keep the car forever then it's "ok" to buy a salvage title, granted you have it checked out first, but if you plan to sell it down the road then it's going to be a bit tough. Salage titles are perfect for track\project cars but not an everyday driver that you may end up selling in 2-3 years.

I am looking for a 2002 with around 20k miles also. Where do you all look for your s2ks other than autotrader and newspaper?

If its a theft recovery then it will prolly be do-able. You just want to steer clear of flood damage and wrecks, obviously.
