Default Immaculate S2000 for sale

Just testing the water, as im *thinking* of a trip back to Subaru land! Fancy an 02 STi...

I chop and change cars a lot (5 Subarus in 3 years!) in case anyone is wondering about the short ownership! I truly love the car, and can hardly fault it, but I miss owning a turbo. Chopping and changing means its essential I always buy a top condition car - and this one is. I bought it on 20'500 miles so Ive clocked up over 6000 in it. Im almost certain I'll own another at some point!

Info:
2000 W
27000 miles
Belina Black
2 previous owners
Full Honda S/H
Recent service - provided own Motul F/S Oil
4 New Bridgestone tyres all round
MOT til March 06
Tax

Extras:
Wind deflector
S2000 number plate

Condidtion:
Mechanically / Electrically totally faultless - sounds and baheves exactly as it should - gbox is great roof works spot on, no leaks etc etc...
Id say for the age and miles its truly excellent
Has 2 tiny tiny pin dents on the door which are inevitable
No scrapes and VERY few stonechips
Interior is great and the leather is unmarked - mild bolster creasing but better than most. That's life!
I spent over £100 having it professionally valeted when I bought it - even though it was spotless
Rear screen is plastic being an pre-glass model but is quite mist free - some BMW miracle cure comes free with it!

Price:
£15'400 ovno - paid a fair bit more and now has new tyres and a private plate. Cash only for any buyers.

I have given a true representation of the car, as I hate it when people say a car is good and its not. Most people don't describe minor details!

Decided against the skyline then?

Pick this wee beastie up in a few weeks, can't wait

Wish I could afford both as well, always fancied an S2000.

Good luck with the sale and a free BTTT

Chris

I had this dilema but decided that the R33 still looks superb and couldn't warrant the extra £15,000 an R34 would cost. Maybe when I win the lottery

Jacey, nice car matey

Anyway, I'll stop hijacking your thread

Loverly S2000 for sale, please contact DBM

Do it feckin fantastic cars. Currently running a RS import 6speed with turbo kit, intercooler etc. And the best fun on wheels I have ever owned. Gives all the fun of a softop with Elise chuckability, but comfort and practicalilty as well. And with the turbo, all the punch and performance of a Scooby. Cheap to fix/insure/ and run as well.

Have chopped and changed alot like Mark, but this is still the only car that makes me want to go for a drive just for the hell of it.

p.s Sorry for the high jack Mark, but another free BTTT for you.

Hi Mark, thought of you when I spotted this advert. Note the bit about May PX for a mint S2000.

Just a thought

Nice one! Damn good choice, would have gone turbo rather than supercharger if the option existed on the S2000 myself. But 300+ BHP has got to be fun in the max on a S2000. The Z3M running 321 on a heavier car is supposed to be mental. Dont Crash at

Turbo's are serious monster money and time on these cars, but S/C is much easier and keeps the VTEC character of the car. There's also precisely zero skill in mapping, but luckily the C/C has a fuel mgmnt unit so no worries there!

Cant gaurantee not crashing it tho

Yep, never got it installed, would have been fun but felt it would spoil the car a bit among other things.
