Maybe the buyer's lawyer is cutting him a good deal, and maybe the seller is willing to pay whatever it costs because he's suddenly afraid of going to jail.

Wow, what a scam artist!



33k for a 2008 Honda 2000?!?
Can't tell if you're trolling or not. It's an s2000 in great condition, with 20k miles in Grand Prix white, with white te37s, oem hardtop, and kwv3s. Sounds pretty fair to me.
Not trolling, his name is M3forum, their depreciation is real. Mad real.

Looks like both of you don't know your stuff. Kbb has the car at a little over 23k. This is without the extra parts. Keep in mind people typically pay out the a$$ for gpw, so that kbb price is the floor for a stock example. That's some "mad real" facts for you.

Looks like its cheaper over in CA as I'm getting this price, 25.5k in excellent condition, under my zip code.

so with the stolen parts, puts us right about in range. I don't understand why anyone is really saying anything about how much someone else spent on a car. It was a fine price for what he got, obviously it was a difficult combo/setup to find if the guy came all the way from NY to get it.

Lets move off the price topic.

Paragon has a supporter. He pretty much implies lon asked for the bait and switch and that no one should held accoumtable except himself. Another member defended lon and hes offer to provide a gun to end his life. Now, i speech or violation of rights. In my eyes, that pos is just anothe scum bag

Had to register and get in on this...it's just too good. The story is floating around the Z32 world, too. This is Internet justice at its finest. Glad it's looking like it will cone to a proper resolution. Keep us updated.

Same here, used to have an 07, with hardtop . Good luck man. I used to live couple blocks from the shop but never been there once.

I drive a 6MT V6 accord now so i spread the words on the accord forum as well.

Saw this in reddit subreddits called r/s2000, r/cars, and r/autos

Lurker of s2ki, owner of a s2000, but this thread made me register.

Hope you get your parts back. This is what the car community is for: backing you up
