blk posted:Seller is holding out at 16,500. 16,250 was my ceiling since it will cost me 250 to fly down and drive back. Fixing the dent, wheel rash, and replacing the top would bring me to 19,250. Leaving it alone and driving it would put me at 16,750. What would you guys do? It's a two owner (same family) 33k mile 2005, Suzuka. If you're going to have 19k in it, why not look for a better example to start and have a pristine one? That one has been used as a car, not as a special toy. There are enough S2000s out there, with a lot of them having "special toy" status from the start, that you'll find the right car, not just a car. (by the way -- you weren't very subtle with my eBay trick, I didn't know the market, so I checked completed listings and... it wasn't hard to find!)

blk posted:Here's a pristine one I'm considering instead: I would take that white one in a second over the blue one. Toss $18k at the white one and see if the owner bites. Here's one that's 5 minutes from my house... I guess I just have cheap car options nearby... https://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/4421385381.html nevermind, it's an old one. meatpimp fucked around with this message at 18:08 on Apr 18, 2014 |

blk posted:He hasn't closed the deal yet - how much of a dick move is it to call up and offer a better price? No rules. Not a dick move on your part, it may be a dick move on his part, depending on what the agreement he has with the other guy, but if you want it, play for it.

That's a damned sharp looking car. If it's been maintained and has a damage-free (preferably original owner) history, it'd be tough to go wrong. Especially if you throw 17.5k cash at him and see if he bites.
