So I'm shopping for my first s2k! finally years of saving and I have enough to make the purchase

I came across a white s2000, that needs "new front shock absorbers as they have started to leak". I was wondering if this could/have lead to more problems.

I would love to hear your opinions and tips.

Thank you.

For that price you can get one wayyyyyy better, I wouldn't waste a right click on that, $24k for 135k in kms?? Hell no, at 83k miles that thing is worth 14-16k at most out the door and to your house

 

@Justin Sorry I forgot to mention I live in Australia,
so the price for a junky s2000 would be around $17k AUD,
decent s2000 with minor work done, around $20k - $24k Depending on colour
and the supercharged or INSANELY clean s2000 are about $30k +

Cars here in Australia are expensive as ****

 

front shocks can be replaced easy and they are usually a wear and tear part. so i would look over the car to ensure it is properly maintained. as a strut is a easy fix if the previous owner let that go never know what else is wrong.....


but that color combo is awesome. i love white with red interior.

good luck with your search and i hope you find the right car.

 

Good luck with your S2000 hunt. They are still beauties - hard to believe that they are that pricey in Australia! That is crazy!

 

I'm from NZ and i hear you on the price

I'd be concerned as to why it only has rear shocks upgraded, and also the phrase (not a respray) - why would you put that?
