For 12k your pretty limited to what your looking for. At a budget of 15k you can fis a fairly low mileage clean title decent shape ap1. Good luck.

These cars are holding values well, but mainly for low km examples, so I feel that one is high.

I'd say skip it unless you can haggle a few grand out of him. Thats a fair bit of km. Condition is more important though, of course.

Don't settle for a car colour you don't really love, as you may not care now but most guys will tell you it could matter to you later on.

I bought my 3rd S2000 last year, and anything under $15,000 was utter junk. Make sure you inspect the cars well.

In my opinion 132k is nothing for a 11 year old car. Calculate that through and its 12k a year.
Never let mileage deter you from a car that's well taken care of. There was a guy on here that bought an AP1 with some 60k on it only to have the engine blow out on him pretty early into his ownership. Spa AP1 if I remember correctly.

And colour, personally the way I see it, there's a reason there are more silver cars than other colours. People like them.

what do you guys think of a 2000 model, with 140km

Very well maintained, no accidents

for $14000

Pricing too high? or resonable

Thanks
