sounds good if its just a lil over 2002 and los depending on how many previous owners it had. Just do a compression test and make sure everything is good i mean for 7500 your not going to get a mint car but dont also buy a lemon

That's not a bad price at all if there is no major defects. Also a car history would be helpful. If you are not somewhat car savvy, get a buddy to go look at it with you. Where you located? there is probably someone nearby to help.

Take it to your mechanic to get it inspected. It's worth the 200$ or so to avoid any major problems that you cannot identify yourself.

Don't be afraid to buy a Honda with 100K. It's all about how it was driven.. On the other hand, my buddy has a '93 Integra LS with 200K HARDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD miles on it and it still runs beastly.

100k miles is not very much...the F20C is a very durable engine.

It just depends on how the car was driven and the maintenance done, though.

Yeah go get the car checked out if you don't know about cars
Carfax is a waste of money and does not tell you EVERYTHING that may be wrong with the car, because only reported issues or maintenance info is given. Not fully dependable or reliable for something you would pay for. So i would say, take it to a friend or trusted reputable mechanic.

just drive it, with him in the passenger seat. get his permission to safely redline the car, and if nothing blows up you're golden. that's a great price btw, i got my my01 salvage around this time last year for 7500, but it did only have 40k miles.

yes they are not cheap to fix. An S2000 is somewhat of a luxury car. The Insurance is high, no one makes OEM style replacement parts because of the limited run it had. So most of the parts are going to be OEM and pretty expensive. Tries are expensive. Most if not all aftermarket performance parts a very expensive. This car isn't a civic or a accord.
