Going to look at a local S2000 with 80K miles on it on Friday. They are selling it for 12K which I am guessing is a pretty good price. Anything particular to look for? What stuff starts needed to be replaced at or around that mileage? I want to fit routine stuff into the "can I afford this car" budget.

Thanks guys.

 

I would like to know myself too dude, mines got 77k....seems like these cars run good forever like any other honda if not beat on and taken care of. some girl owned mine before me

 

that price is a lil high...but take to a mechanic you trust if you don't know what too look for. and the s2000 is not cheap to mod..s2k tax killz. don't get it.

 

i got 91k on mine had it for 2 years bought it with 65k. i know i drive the f@@k out of it.
two things ive done. timing chain tensioner and valve cover gasket. tct and valve cover both easy to do. parts cost 40 for vc gasket set and tct about 140. both new from honda. other than that just be prepared to buy tires. if you drive like me.:burnrubr:
ohh and clutch.

 

Help on buying s2k

It's covered in the FAQ... Please check it out!

 

I know the S2K is expensive to mod but I am ok with that...

No matter how much money I pour into my Civic Si I feel like it always needs more. Until it is making like 250 WHP I will probably always feel like that. And even then it is still at the mercy of its chassis and such in terms of potential. I know the S2K is a proven track car/ bad *** to tune. I would be ok driving a stock S2000 around until it is paid off as opposed to driving my civic SI.

They are listing it a 12000 dollars for an 01 with 80XXX miles but I am going to work with them and hopefully get them down to 10500 or so. I'll let you guys know what happens!

 

heh heh, since the economy is so bad, you should run over to s2ki.com and look at the for sale section. for example

the owner is offering that 2004 73kmiles for 12,000 very clean car :-D

 

THAT'S definately a GREAT DEAL..

Had i not bought mine, i would jump on that one INSTANTLY...

 

yeah a 01 nfr with 112k on it sold for 8500 on s2ki last week in florida

 

i have 120k on mine, no problems other than a clutch, but that only took 8-10 hours to switch out

 

why does a thread like this get started on a weekly basis do people not know how to search anymore? why is evryone such a lazy **** these days this **** is getting annoying and driving the tech minded people away from this site.

 

S2k's aren't that expensive to mod. Maybe comparitivly to a civic, but I came from the BMW/Audi world so everything on this car is cheap for me. That said my car is nearing 90k soon and it still runs like a top, like anycar if its maintained and not beat on it will run forever. Take it to a dealership and get a PPI (pre-purchuse inspection). The $200 could be saving you $5k if there are some bent valves in there. If you can't afford $200 then seriously rethink if you should be buying a $12,000 car.

 

Dude just stop clicking on these threads then. I've been on here forever and rarely post anymore but all you do is ****ing complain. I know it's annoying but really...who cares?

 

The value of S2Ks have really tanked over the past year. I picked up my 04 with 67000 miles for 16 last july, and I probably can't even get 14K for it now. It's been only 8 months...times are tough...but good for the car buyer...

 

Thats not an S2k thing, all car prices have tanked with demand in this economy.

 

That's true, everything has been bad. If you can afford the gas, trucks are really cheap too right now! But who wants a truck, right?

 

i dont know how it is where you live, but compared to almost 4 bucks a gallon a year ago gas is cheap as ****...i think i saw 87 for 1.65...hell, im still paying under 2 bucks a gallon for 93

 

not here like 2.19 for prem. and its only 92 or 91

 

the guy that lives downstairs in my house is selling his for 11500 including a OEM silverstone hardtop. thats with 95700 miles and a clean title + a glass converted top!

 

That's a nice deal with a hardtop!!! Should sell quick.

 

I do, I bought mine about 3 months ago, got an amazing deal. I'm thinking about trading it in for a wrangler.

 

i bought my 01 s2k for $6,300
with 55,xxx miles

 

you live in oregon that is a good price he lives in florida ther probly like 9-10k down there

 

rebuilt title?
