what should I talk them down to?and isn't this just rare? O_O!

it's a 7k 02 Suzuka blue, yes it's an Ap1 with less than 10000 miles =O and a clean carfax

but they are asking 17900 for it what's a good price for a car in that condition? what should I talk them down to 15k?

thats pretty low miles, I would try to talk them down as much as possible and keep that one in the garage. In 10 years it will be worth alot with that low of miles.

it looks very clean, but i would still try to check the car out in person if possible and get a mech to take a look at the engine. it may seem like a awesome deal but really you dont know what the car is truly under the hood. just my 2 cents

you can get a low mileage AP2 for around that price, so I don't think it's that great of a deal u nless you can talk them down.

How bad do you want Suzuka? How bad do you want an AP1? Otherwise, low miles aren't such a big factor imo.

No, it won't. I've owned some "rare" cars, 40k total built worldwide for example, and they don't appreciate quicker than about 20 years old if at all. There's nothing about an 02 Suzuka S that will cause it to increase in value just because it has low miles.

dude that's actually nothing. i bought my 02 s2000 last may, the dealership wanted $14,999. which i thought was a good deal. but after everything was said and done, im now paying $23,500. i got ripped off like really bad, and when i bought the car, it had 51,000 miles on it. but i really really wanted an s2000 so i didn't care, as long as i had one.

I almost bought a 2000 GPW w/ 5,041 miles on it last summer. Perfect condition. Guy traded it in on a new M3. I didn't want a perfect car though - I'd be afraid to drive it.
