Im looking in to buying a used s2000 for 26K that has about 56k miles on it.
Mods:
1) TEIN RS FULL COIL OVER
2) INJGEN COLD AIR INTAKE

I was wondering if that is a good price for its value
The car does make valve nosie when its idleing but the owner told that it needed valve clearence done to it

 

I just paid $24G for a '02 GWP with 17k on it. No dings, garage kept, never saw rain. Needs new rear tires, but most you'll find will.

 

Thats way overprices... you shouldn't pay more than $24 tops for that many miles on an 01

 

$24k is way overpriced for an '01 IMO. If you could grab it for $22k, I'd jump on it. Beyond that, you could probably find a better deal on another '01 or certainly on an '00 and still have the $$ left to put the injen and Tein on it.

 

indeed... that price does seem very high..

Ask yourself. 56,000miles for used 01 S2000. That means the owner racked up more than 28,000miles/year on this car. Brand new price of S2000, lets say $33,000 and he wants $26,000 for his car? So that is about $7,000 depreciation.

That is about $3,500/year depreciation on a car that he ran more than 28,000miles on it per year?

That car is worth about $21,000 even on top end.

 

^ nice break down...

I'd have to agree. For some reason, I missed the 56k in my reply. I had it stuck in my head that he'd said 17k miles.

 

I just bought mine this past Thursday....02 Suzka Blue with 15k miles for $22,500.

 

i bought mine for 26k, and it came with 7000 miles, hardtop, oem spoiler.


heres proof

 

I have an 01 and with all the money I have invested in it I would ask for over $30,000. That being said, I know I would never get what I want for it so I would part it out and make some of my money that way. But I am not selling mine right now..
I have 42000 miles on my 01 and would sell it for $23,000 for just the car alone, no mods or hardtop..
Bottom line is $26,000 is a bit high for a stock 01 S2000 with over 55,000 miles.

 

price doesnt sound too bad seeing as the suspension is done.

 

I looked at a mint yellow 01 with 16k miles on it. 6k worth of upgrades including rims and springs, full stereo, exhaust, and all stock parts. Price was $23k. Just something to compare to.

 

Thanks for the replys, this helps me alot when i go out and look for used s2ks, for about a stock 2001 s2000 should sell at about 23K, im guessing since the newer o4 edition will help bring the vavue down of this s2k i think but i dont know&gt;? i will try talking to the onwer but i havn't really decided to buy a car yet since the EVO and STi are still in my mind at the end i am still more of a honda guy.. .

 

wait a minute... this looks like the s2000 that i helped put the coil-overs in? I think this was the car i drove when i raced a CBR600 F4I and beat it! its a good car. But talk the owner down.

 

thats expensive. i just looked at a mint 2000 s2k last night with 35k for $22,500

 

Hey if you do end up getting that car the first thing I would do is to take off that CAI. I saw some pics of a S2000 more that got fucked from taking ina bunch of water through a CAI.

That's very steep for an MY00.

 

i'll sell u my 2000 s2k for 24,500 with an extended warranty to 78k miles.. =P and it only has 40,900 miles on it

 

Too expensive...IMO

 

As mentioned, that is too high a price. It has a lot of miles, and mods actually decrease the value of the car. Within the past few months leftover 2003 S2k were going for about $29k-$30k NEW! Shop around and see if there are any leftover 03 S2ks available

 

I have seen S2K locally in Los Angeles for cheaper than this... I guess it depends on your local market. If you want a deal, wait for it to get cold!

 

It's not bad, i think ..

Because I pay 45 000€ my own 11/2001 whic is drove 13900km!
But this is ****** Finland
98 oct. bensin is 1.02- 1.20 €/ litre, you pay only about 0,50 €/litre!!

 

Are the 04s out yet? Im gonna wait a few months and scoop one up then...I think you will get the most for your $$ around then...
