Thumbs up opinion: s2000 shell for a bike

i need everyones opinion on this.

i have a s2000 shell. its a 2001 spa yellow with 130k. long story short it needs a long block and thats all. Transmission included. Everything is there except for a radio and exhaust.

i posted this in september of last year at couple of websites for trades. some offers were swapped hatches and integras just about every Fwd honda. i decided not to trade or sell it until now..... im thinkin about gettin a bike now due to gas being too expensive and i only work part time. so im broke. i have a beater so i was thinking about trading.

my question is what do you guys think if you guys were in my position? trade or no?

BTW; if you guys have a bike, please feel free to offer. thanks

if someone will trade with the bike, then try it.

the biggest issue is how much is your s2000 and how much is the bike
you can negotiate from there.

the best way is sell it and use the money to buy a bike-- straight forward.

what is in your mind? how much will you sell the s2000?

Well as most people know, ct is one of the expensive states and im only 21 with a part time job. So money bothers me. Gas for the s2000, insurance, etc. I think if I get a bike it would be cheaper for gas insurance and etc while looking nice at the same time.

Price wise, when I posted it up couple months ago, I had none stop calls text and offers. Offers were in the 4 grand. But as of now, I would like a bike. Btw it has a rebuilt title too

You are being farrrr toooo vagueeeee.

Everything equates to $$.

What is the shell worth to you?
What kind of bike do you have in mind? What does that type of bike cost?

Either trade for a bike - your demographic is very limited -- People who have bike you want and want a shell of an S2000 - I'm sure there are loads of those people out there

Or - Sell the shell and find a bike in that price range - at that point your selections are endless.

Some guy offered me 5gs for it so well see how that goes. I know my cars not worth much but im just trying to find the best deal. If I get around 4 for it, I would be happy.

Too bad it has a salvage title, otherwise an S2000 that needs an engine for 4 grand would be a very good deal. Is the engine still there and just blown?
