There's a BB '00 S2k at 98k that's salvage and the owner fixed it up, runs perfect and has a clean PA title, but Carfax shows salvage/rebuilt title. The car has header/exhaust and looks great besides needing a new top. The owner wants $11.5k. I was wondering if it's worth it to look into the car more, and if so, how much should I offer him? The owner is on S2ki but I won't name names for risk of bias.

Also there is a Silverstone '00 at 91k that I'm also interested in. Car has invidia exhaust, and J's racing headers/throttle body, top also needs to be replaced and owner wants $11k. I like the mods but would def prefer the BB over Silverstone.

I initially ruled out salvage vehicles because of the resale problem. But I am planning on keeping the car for a long time, and probably won't sell it until I graduate college and start making a lot of money and can afford to sell for cheap. Hopefully the clean PA title will hold the value better than salvage title. In the end I would probably settle on the car that's the least expensive since I am poor right now but need a better car than my slow and ricey 98 civic.

 

11k with 91k miles/98k miles/salvage/rebuilt?? I got my 00' s2000 for 11k with 63k miles I think you should look for a better deal.

 

keep looking... be patient.. there are many other options available out there for a reasonable buck..

 

Thanks, I have been looking for about 2 months. Seems all the good deals are far away. These are the only deals around my area. BTW I dig the sig wuttheheezy!

 

Where are you located?

 

Is that Dave's car your looking at in PA?

 

Yes it was. He was rude and gave me attitude when I told him I couldn't meet his price because of the rebuilt/salvage carfax he failed to mention.

 

His rebuild thread for that car is on Honda-Tech somewhere. I think the car was side swiped and was totaled because of that. Don't 100% hold me to that though.

 

Thanks, but that kid's attitude was a deal breaker. There are tons of S2k sellers who are much more polite and respectful.

 

sounds like he needs to drop about 3k off that price to even be in the running
