Default S2K pricing? 17K for a 01 w/51K miles?

Hey guys, I've been shopping for my gf who is about to pull the trigger on a S. I've come across a few deals and she's basically looking to pay about 17-18K, possibly more for a clean 02+. I'm talking to a guy about a gpw/red and black interior 01 with approx 51K miles. The car has the usual rock chips, rear plastic window is a bit dirty and he's done the buzzing clutch TSB. Would you guys consider 17K+TTL a good deal?

Mine is an 01 with 26k and I got it for $17,500.
$17,000 for an 01 with 51k is a considerable price...but not too good IMO. You can probably find an 02 around that mileage for the same price. Just got to look harder.

I just picked up an 00 with 67k for $16,000... I would imagine it has a whole lot to do with your area, because here (In NW Florida) there was exactly ONE S2000 for sale under 20k-- and I bought it.

00/01s here for go for 20-22 with ~50k miles.

from a dealer yes but from private seller they go for 16,000 - 17,000 with 40k - 60k ...

right now i'm working a deal on Tampa.FL a 00 with 30k for 16,500 ( excellent condition)

it all depends on how long the car is for sale.

in the first 60 days, you probably won't get one for 16-17K...even from a private seller. Thing is, most S2Ks disappear quick in FL.

16-17K is a DUMPING price, not one that you are going to be able to negotiate on a car that was listed for a short time.

From a dealer they're 22-24, I was referring to private sellers. Things are likely somewhat different in Tampa, but driving 7 hours to get the car wasn't really an option for me, hence my saying 'Around here...'

Good luck on your deal though.

The 01 with 52K miles ended up being crap and had been rear ended. We found a nice 00 gpw/red with a VERY good history for a good price. Picking it up this friday, thanks for all the help guys

I got a 2002 for $19.5k w/ LoJack and 70k mile extended warranty. He put on new tires and the car had less then ~35k miles.

It seems like the S are not holding value too well. Just sold my stock 00 ITR W/38K for $18.5K.
