an s2k came up in a local auction i want to know how much u guys think i should bid on it seems like it would be a good project ...
it was a recovered theft vehicle...so it hasnt been hit.


its missing
gauge bezel
gauge cluster
stereo
taillights
headlights
doorpanels
seats
steering wheel
wheels
hood
throttle body
intake .
top is damaged.

give me some imput on a good price to bid on a car like this.

 

What year is it and how many miles on the motor?

 

good question its a 2002 and it has about 67000.

 

probably going to end up being more work than its worth. if i was in your shoes, i seriously would not bid on it... its probably worth $4-5k?

 

was what i was thinking 4500....

figure if i get one im going to want some aftermarket parts like steering wheel seats hard top wheels...cf hood.

so considering that atleast for me its not a bad buy...
but if i was trying to keep it stock then definetely would agree with you
because it would end up costing me more.

 

i was just saying b/c there are going to be unseen problems on top of what you stated. like is the diff shot, clutch/throw out bearing, does the motor run alright, is the wiring butchered since it was stolen, etc

I dunno, If hes lookin to just make it a race car or something, then the theives did all the hard work for him.

So if you want a race car, go for it. If you want something you could possibly DD, no way.

 

3500 would probably be a deal for that. I bet it will go for around 5-6 though depending on your location.

 

midwestautoworks needs to chime in

His 8 posts. duhhhhh

 

well my final bid on it went in yesterday for 3956... considering it didnt have suspension either...

if i get it its gona make for a fun project... but as a back up i also am picking up a 4dr eg with 25k miles original so we will see by today afternoon what i end up getting.

 

let me get that 4dr...

 

I have that car on my list. it will go around 4-5000

 

not to mention, salvaged and theft recoveries are only worth about 50% of their typical value after being restored!

 

done its mine now...my bid on the caar was 3956...total price 4600

now for a build thread coming soon.

Not too bad! GL on the build bro. If that car was never wrecked then you got a sweet f-in deal.

+1

 

awesome... u making this a track ***** i presume???

if so, u have no need for the soft top, suspension and other various items... sink some dough into it and itll be a sexy little ride... post pics when u get it... also, how u getting it home if it doesnt have any rims???

 

yeah never wrecked definetely a +... and yeah looking into a suspension i liked slammed look but also comfy ride... so ill have to look into good combo(suggestions are definetely welcomed)...

i know its a big change from what i have because groundcontrol on koni are usually the best for other hondas but it doesnt seem to be a favorite with s2000s.

gona go for a low offset wheel also... ill see what i can come up with that looks good with silver.

and id love a hard top...but there pricey...

for now priority goes on suspension-a steering wheel-seats(probably bride brix-or stock whatever i find cheapest)-hood-wheels i got of stocks for 250 with new rubber already. these things seem to be the things that im probably gona spend a little bit more on for now.

 

post some pictures
