I am from Antioch. It seems like there is a ton of s2kers in the Bay Area. Anyone from the East Bay or are most from SF?
I went from an ls to a gsr to an mr2 to a bb6 and finally my dream car an s2000.

(A lot of us have been looking at that car off of Craigslist).
Cheers!

Yeah the bumper and fenders seems to have been removed for some reason. I was looking at this car as well when I was still shopping around. Then I noticed the badge was a little off so I steered clear. But it may have been owned by a guy who took them off and the dealer replaced them.

It was 14.5k. I offered 12 then 12.8 then 13.5 then even 14. They would not budge at all. they said they were firm on the 14.5 price. I looked at maybe 5-6 s2k's that week. This was the cleanest for the best price. Everything is still aligned properly it is just the liner in the bumper is kind of off because of missing tabs.
-as for the price being so so cheap. The place wasnt really a dealer, it was an AUTO BROKER. He had bought the car from an auction. It is a clean title, the previous owner just had it repossesed.
known problems/defects: Spark plug wire cover missing, cd player is broken, no spare tire, no jack, front headlights heavily hazed on top, and have some leak on the insides which will be a pain to repair/clean
so all those + it being an auction car = 14,500

(Sorry, I'm shopping around myself and like to get an idea. Did you check out the spa yellow and suzuka AP1s @ HMB too?)

I think your original offer of $12k was more on target - just to get those items replaced or repaired would easily run you another $2-3k.....
You must have really wanted the car - how's the condition of the softtop?
At least you got the best color
see ya around
