Put it this way I picked up my peach of an 01 with 60,000 miles with no major issues just little maintenence stuff for 10,000 even. That was a little over 2 years ago. Shop around you can find a better deal

I'm looking at a "for sale" ad right now - 2002 Suzuka Blue w/ 61k miles in great condition for $12000.
I've found that Suzuka Blue cars seem to go for $1k-$2k less. I can't stand the interior.

I picked up my AP1 Suzuka for $10,500 with 77k miles in flawless condition. My buddy picked up a 2000 Silverstone with 14k miles for $15,000. We did this 2 years ago and the price of S2000s have dropped since.

In my opinion pass on this car 100% be patient a perfect option will pop up trust me!
