Looking to get an s2k soon, here is one I like a lot, has the newer interior I believe, which is what sells me to it, plus its GPW!

Let me know!

Why does the transmission say 5 speed ?

Carfax it to see if it's a salvage title. If it's not. I'd take the offer. Atleast for a 2001 the mileage isn't that much from what i've seen other people having.

I'd take it. Just my .02

 

it is a good price for an 01 with that many miles, I wish i could have found a gpw haha, s2000s are hard to find in sodak period haha

 

they prob just mis typed the 5 speed.

 

If it looks as good in real life as the pictures then yeah it's a fair price.

 

it looks pretty good..but id personally go for an 02+ model with the glass top...trust me. its worth it.

 

It should probably be good title for that kind of money. I did get my S for 8000. 90,000 miles 2001. It did have the older interior tho. IMO it is not a bad price but there is a little wiggle room. Same argument as I made on another thread, dealers are in this for profit.

 

i will replace the top for a glass one.

 

That is a good point, a dealer will always charge more for the same car as a private party because it is a business. At the same time the take some of the rick out and do all of the paper work. Obviously this paper work ins't worth $3k, but I would say it is worth $500, especially if it the exact car you want. You do have to consider that if you changed your mind in a week you wouldn't be able to sell it for what you paid for it though.

 

just be aware that is extremely expensive, might want to get a few quotes 1st, might be worth it to wait and find an 02. I just got a gpw 2002 for 8k, alot higher mileage though

 

it might just have a glass top afterall... if the owner put that much into the interior then you never know.

 

those black/red seats are uber hard to find. Good deal on the car! GPW FTW!

 

Other than the glasstop and interior pieces, what sets an 02 apart from an 01?

 

nothing really, gpw cars came with tan interior instead

 

Looks like a pretty good deal, at a glance.

 

Only the GPW's from 03-05 came stock with Tan. 00-02 and 07-09 came with red/black combo of some sort, and only the 06 GPW's came with all black interior.

 

Also the tail lights are a little different in that the 02-03 have chrome rings around the lenses.

 

you're right.

oops, for some reason i thought i read "03"

 

The tail lights on the 02 have chrome rings around them and look allot better IMO. The 02+ ECU is not the same, known to not run as rich in the upper RPM's as the 00-01's. Oil jet's are upgraded in 02 and is recommended for any high millage 00-01. The biggest thing is the interior and soft top though. Expect a used glasstop conversion to cost you around 800-1k w/o install. Sometimes there are better deals, just depends on if it's local and what not.

 

if i remember right, isn't the spring rate softer on the rears for 02-03?

 

Leather center console..

 

do it
