looks nice but priced kinda high??...check out craigslist...

 

Nice and clean looking, and despite new this, new that...price is too high for the mileage.

 

It does look very nice, but it's priced a little high. Edmunds values a 2004 S2000 with 70000 miles in outstanding condition at $12260, dealer retail at $13500. I would use those values as an idea of how much I would want to pay if I were to negotiate a deal with this seller. However, a lot of times these cars go for more than what these websites value them at, so don't be necessarily expecting to get it for that much.

As far as a good way to negotiate, I won't claim to be an expert on it, but every time I've purchased a vehicle I've offered them a lower price than I would actually pay then went back and forth on offers from there until we either 1. Meet in the middle, or 2. I walk away because the seller won't go with my final price I've decided that I would pay for the car. It's worked well for me thus far. Just don't lowball them too much, or they may not be willing to work with you at all. You'll know after talking to them for a bit if they're dead set on $15000 or if you've got some room to negotiate.

 

+1 I think that is also a higher price but there are many out there that rather have offers than a firm price. My guess is that this seller knows that and is looking for people to give him offers.

I also use the same negotiating strategy. Know what price you want on the car an offer lower on that. Cash talks as well, letting them know you are ready to buy and can take the car off their hands today works well in my experience.

 

reason for price if most likely because of the color so he prob wont go down much lower

 

hehe if i could have found a nice white one in my area i would have payed an extra 4-5k. Depends what its worth to you

 

Bring 12,000 and I bet they will let you take it.

 

I have shown your link.In this link you have collect very best picture of car.This link are based on car selling.It is a good deal to selling the car.Honda create a best model of the car.

 

a little pricey.. buy mine

 

ha, I was looking at the same car.

 

white is the most popular color by a long shot. I sold my gpw with salvage title for 13k a month or 2 ago. The car sold in 2 days someone flew over 1k miles to pick it up.

People dont budge on price when it comes GPW

if you're set on white I'd look the car over and if its in good shape I'd pick it up. If color isnt an issue that price is 40k mile price range

 

Nice..

 

Miles are kinda High. keep shopping around you can find a better deal.

 

I bought my 04 1.5 years ago on ebay for $11.8k. It had 66k and was in sebring silver which is pretty rare.

 

Really I didn't know this, what is the numbers of S that were made in SS in 04?

 

Less than 1k is SS, and about 100 of them have the interior that i have. 2 tone black/red. There is a post on S2KI where someone did a summary of years colors options based on VIN numbers. I am going of memeory but i remember i was a happy camper mine was so rare. The white CR's are the rarest from what i remember.

 

Good to know as I have the Red/Black interior as well.

 

I bet they don't.... Looks to me like the car is priced fair for starting off with 4.56 gears and a new top. They will proly take 14 for her but I doubt they will go any lower unless there is something wrong with it.

 

NVM, says price is frim...

 

You got a great deal but your car color is FAR from rare, esp in 04.

 

Too high of a price!

 

if you feel like travelling, there is a 01 spa with 79k miles for $9000 on oklahoma city craigslist

 

ACTUALLY NOT BAD FOR A GPW. FAIR PRICE FOR SOCAL AND ACTUAL SEBRING SILVER AND SILVERSTONE ARE THE MOST COMON COLORS. GPW IS MORE RARE, BUT GLW BUY

 

I i said before my car is an 04 SS with the red/black interior. In 2004 there were approximately 7474 s2000 built. My car color combination was 1 of 398, or roughly in the 5% of s2000 built that year. They only made SS with red/black in 04-05 = 918 total out of roughly 67k total s2k's made or approximately 1.4% of total s2ks are the same as mine. What do you consider rare?

SS is not rare as an exterior color but rare in this color and interior combination. although after seeing the breakdown SS is more common in AP1's vs AP2's

Take the OP car for example GPW/black. In 04 there were no color combinations listed of that kind. Either the seller did an interior swap or the unofficial count spreadsheet posted is not accurate. You can review it here if you like.
