That is a lot of money, not sure if he will ever sell that for that price. :/ Very high.

What do you guys think?

Its definately worth it, however, modified cars are def a ... most people dont want some1 elses project. Besides, why sell a car with so much work into it at less than 5000 miles. Spinnin that beast to 10k rpms prolly did a number on it. Lets be realistic, ap2 redline is 8300 ... okay so granted its underboost so less stress then trying to "suck" the air in but way too much piston speed

Seems like a lot of money. Not sure why someone wold take such a new car and mod it like this when they could buy a used car and save a lot of money.

I would absolutely pay $20k for that used S2k.

You guys are missing that he is not asking $32k for this car (that is his 'below reserve price' starting point), but he does offer a $39k buy it now. Psh.

I'd buy a used Cayman S instead. Same up front cost and much better resale.

I would have to say that its a little on the high side. Thats the downside of modding. I would shoot for MSRP and be happy.
