Saw this for sale, and was wondering whose this was...modified too

Am thinking about buying this, and due to the modifications, was a little worried.

Am still on the fence, just due to the fact that it spent so much time on the track. I know after talking with you that you took meticulous care of it, but at the back of my mind, I am hesitating.

I do like all the upgrades you've done to it...just worried that something may fail. I know its silly, as anything could go wrong with a car that has been babied too...but to spend the few thousand miles at sustained extremely high RPMs together with the high G forces at the track...likelihood goes up.

Am I being overly paranoid? Am pretty sure the car is still for sale

I can't believe they are asking $25k for this thing.

They're willing to go quite a bit lower to where its more in line with the other s2Ks...

I am just surprised at the prices s2k's are going for today..its not like these cars are rare..there are more than 60,000 of them sold here

I sold my 2007 NFR for 27.5K in 2008(traded in due to new addition to the family) with only 7000 miles and 4 years later, the same cars have depreciated 6K? 25%-35%(depending on how much lower than MSRP that the original owner bought it for) drop after 5-6 years? Thats rare limited edition supercar territory in terms of dropping residual values...

Also its in the middle of winter(I know sac has been great this year from what I hear) - the best time to buy sporty convertibles.

I don't know how low they're willing to go and if you care just for black, but you can get a low mileage s2000 for less. http://chico.craigslist.org/cto/2814188839.html
