2003 Suzuka blue, 32k miles, $8500- but hail damage (cosmetic only)
2003 S2000, suzuka blue. 32xxx miles, 1 owner. I got it new in feb 2004 when it was revealed the redline would drop on the 2004 car. The car was not used in winter and rarely used in rain. I have always garaged it in the off season. Never on a track. It WAS in great shape until May 2014, when we got hit by a freak hail storm, which caused cosmetic damage, all mechanicals are fine. The car is stock.
I am asking $8500. I was going to sell it at the end of summer (before hail damage), and ask for $16.5 or so, considering low miles. After hail storm, insurance said they would fix it or give me a check for the cost to fix it, which turns out to be about $8000. So before I fix it and try to sell it, I thought I would try to sell it as-is for $8.5, take the $8.0 check and end up the same.

That is a link to photos. I have a video that is about 30 seconds long on my iphone that i will text to you if you want to see it. Just email me if you don't want your cell # on the forum. romeomichael@gmail.com
My insurance policy will fix the car as follows - new hood, trunk, fenders, soft top. will repair a couple dings in drivers door. passenger door may be the only panel undamaged. The entire car will be re-painted. Windshield will be replaced. The reason I will try to sell it now is in case someone wants a track car, this is a good option, or if someone has the skill or desire to fix it themselves (for less $), then they will come out ahead financially. Perhaps some of the panels can be fixed with paintless dent removal, but I do not know. I have good insurance, and I am kind of demanding, so I said I just wanted all new panels and they were cool with that (except the driver door, which is not badly damaged).
The top has 1 small tear in it on the side behind the driver. Car did not get wet inside, I checked that immediately. The storm only lasted about 5 minutes, and I don't know if it even rained, I think it was just hail!! I have a video of the hailstorm too if you are interested... The top I would think could be repaired, even I was surprised when they said they will give me a new top too.
Any questions or anything, fell free to post on here or email me.
I live near Reading PA, which is about an hour west of Philly.

I can do that tomorrow probably. A few other people are interested, and I have sent out some iphone videos (to thier phones). The videos capture the real look of the car much better. If you would like, you can email me your cell # and I can text you the videos. I need to do at least 2 more tomorrow (interior, tires/wheels), i can do one under the hood too. let me know.

This is an awesome deal, I'd buy this in a heart beat if this was for sale back in March. I work on Penn street in Reading, so i know what hail storm you're talking about, it was freaking horrible! GLWS, even though you shouldn't need it. At this price people would be fools not to buy it.
