Buying a Second Hand S2000
Hi Guys,
I'm interested in buying a second hand S2000. I've had a read through the "FS&W Forum Posting - PLEASE READ" post - and it was most helpful.
What I wanted to ask here was what should I expect to get for my money if I have around 10-12k to spend - and is it worthwhile or should I be saving up for something a bit newer / with less miles.
Many Thanks!
Kevin

The lower miles you can get, generally the better with these cars - but if the servicing it spot on then a higher miles one will be ok.
You will be looking at a 40-50k MY00 car I would think.

I bought my first one brand new about 3 years back.....now sold
I since bought one with approx 60K on it for about 12 grand. So this one cost half my last car - and can I tell any difference? Nope, I cant! all exept the clutch buzz but I can just about live with it! Just find one thats been well cared for and serviced - I looked at quite a few and bought one from off here - take your time. They are still good at this age

With 10-12K I'd look at a JDM import with very low miles!
What are the advantages / disadvantages for JDM imports?
Thanks again!
