You don't need any silly dashboard gimmicks, you can tell if its a US Import on any car (or motorcycle) by just looking at the vehicle registration... under import code it says "FOREIGN IMPORT"

I'm only guessing this because of the following,
- Someone keeps flagging his black AP1 post, he says this in every new post
- Similar mileage
- States that it's a clean title
- Similar specs like red interior, glass soft top

You can also tell if an s2k is a former US car by whether it has airbag warning stickers on the sunvisors. Canadian cars didn't get the stickers.
This is super useful when you're just going by a couple photos in an ad.

However, considering how expensive OEM parts were for the AP2, a low speed accident requiring a single headlight, fender, and bumper would probably write off the car. If you're alright with having a rebuilt title then I say it's a good buy, as a simple repair would get the car back into tip top shape.
On a personal note, I think having a video ripping down the block gives an impression that the car is driven hard. But that's just my preference, hope you don't mind *illegal ! | I wasn't ripping down the road, the car is just really loud lol. If I were ripping it, you would hear vtec. That was only 4500 rpm, and it was a video made by request from a few people.
I baby the shit out of the s2000, in fact I baby all my cars I've owned.. The car was repaired in maple ridge by a honda mechanic and S2000 enthusiast, done properly. I have a full oem AP2 catback exhaust that's why I didn't mind the straight pipes. People can assume all they want, I had the car inspected before I bought it. If I didn't get into my program only a month after buying the car, and waiting for 2 years to get in, I wouldnt be selling it.

I also agree with most of you regarding the reds2k, being a US car and having a rebuilt title where it was repaired in the states (not ICBC) is a big big turnoff for that car. If it was even rebuilt local it would give me a little more confidence | The car was in fact repaired here in maple ridge by a honda mechanic. This is not the first S2000 he bought and fixed up, he was an enthusiast and knows everything about these cars.

Sorry about the lot of replies, just trying to fix any confusions or allegations. Anyone that knows me, knows I don't beat on my cars, I'm always all show kinda guy. Love this car but priorities are different right now. Hence why I lowered the price. Anyone and everyone is welcome to do any inspection beforehand, the car is in great condition. I'm not trying to sell it because it's a headache, I just want the money so I can leave work for a bit and focus on school, thanks everyone's kind words otherwise, better not to assume if you don't really know the truth.

If you had pre/post repair pics and documentation, I'm sure it would alleviate a lot concerns potential buyers may have.

The best way to sell a rebuilt car is to let potential buyers know that you have all the documents ready (any maintenance, repair, etc.) and willing to even reimburse the detailed inspection expense done upon purchase. That'll likely draw more interests.
