You might think twice about doing the suspension after you drive the S. Also, $15k for an 02 with 32k miles is a steal. Is it a salvage title or something?

Good luck on the purchase.

No this person who is selling it is moving over seas very soon and needs to get rid of it. even if it was a salvage title ill still buy it i love honda and s2k's i love my suspension and the stiff ride. plus where i live is very twisty roads with no one on them nice for messing around with my friends and love the turns more then just goin straight.

Just tell me that this isn't being done over the internet. I'd be very cautious of anything like "moving over seas, must sell now!", since that's how a lot of scams are usually done...

But if this is in person, awesome find
