Naahhh | I was sitting here reading the post and thinking the exact same thing. I kinda wish it was white or silver and for a LHD that is a good price considering what other sellers ask for theirs. Not sure about the "SE" trim or the single turbo stuff though.

Price is low because its NA-t and 5speed.
Although the NA-T is not bad, the 5 speed tranny is quite weak in these cars.
It is priced reasonably though.

I've had a car repaired from an ICBC claim, and from an under the table cash job by buddy guy man in whalley and both were complete shit. The ICBC repair just took me a little longer to find out that it was. Bodywork really is a crapshoot. Its not like it can't be done well but I'd even go to say the majority of shops are not capable of fixing a car to OEM standards.

Hey need some opinions on this 2008 honda S2000 64500Km
I went to view it in person a few weeks ago, car looks to be in excellent shape, however 1 thing threw me off. It is missing the VIN stickers on the underside of the hood and on the front driver's side fender. I also noticed in the pictures I took that the driver's side fender is slightly mismatched in colour.
The suspicious part about all this is that the 3 insurance claims/repairs do not pertain to the hood or the driver's side front. Carproof states "Right Front Corner" and the other 2 are rear. Is it even worth it to bring it to a shop for a PPI or should I just skip this one?

I would not touch that one unless you are able to get a smashing deal. It has been posted many years in a row and did not sell. I believe the previous owner was moving and was advertising it for ~$23-24k.

Just noticed the car is advertised as 'grey'... it's chicane silver. I don't think the current owner even knows that. Quote:

Is it a BC car? I believe ICBC claim reports only checks Canadian history (Maybe only BC?). CarFax to be sure.

damn thats pretty bad. Silverstone metallic is a pretty hard color to match though along with Sebring silver. It probably wasnt in too much of a big accident, its just they did a crappy job color matching the car with new panels.
Also, note that s2k fenders are very fragile. i had a small dent from rear ending this suv. Thought it was repairable but body shop just ordered a new fender for me since it was hard to shape it back (lots of curves and bends). So it doesnt necessarily mean its bad

I'm not concerned about the car having an accident, but more so the fact that there are undocumented accident(s)..

But Daredevil pretty much categorized a clean title car with a dec and a rebuilt car under the same roof. Just wanted to clarify because ICBC claim repairs have absolutely no reason to cut cost since its all paid out by ICBC. Of course the quality of craftsmanship may differ depending on which body shop works on the car and thats why you gotta be careful which bodyshop you choose  | |

Wow... I'm very surprised of how well the S2000s are holding their value. Regret selling mine.
On that 2008 S2000, I hate how the owner says carfax at your own expense. At least prepare the reports to back what you say.

^ Good choice, i'd wait for a pristine S2K to pop up, especially if you plan on keeping it for a while.
