Honda S2000 For Sale Victoria City, Victoria


4wd tercel wagon that looks pretty clean for cheap!
1984 Toyota Tercel 4wd wagon Saanich, Victoria

Am I blind or there's no mileage on that S2000?

Also for that ISF, is that a gap between front fender and the hood?

Yep... annoys me when people (usually dealers) purposely leave out the mileage. Likely over 200k

No mention of accidents / rebuild / theft etc either

flagella 02-27-2017 06:21 PM

Just baffles me and I had to double check. What a dumb ass to leave out the single most critical information on a year 2000 car. Fucking moron.

https://vancouver.craigslist.ca/bnc/cto/6014339551.html 1984 Honda Civic (EA-T) $1000

Paint looks pretty good, think it's worth more than $1000, could be easy flip for anyone here.

That S is a not a goood buy, friend called it has 225k and looks pretty rough.

SkunkWorks 02-28-2017 08:22 AM

:lol

And that is precisely why buddy guy didn't list the mileage in the ad. If he can't even be honest with the mileage, wonder what else he's conveniently left undisclosed...

G0rilla 02-28-2017 08:53 AM

Mileage, accidents, title status are like the 3 basic information when selling a car, its like the first thing everyone looks for.

If its low mileage, little to no accidents, and a clean title you can be damn sure the seller would be using those as a main selling point right off the bat. If any of those are omitted, more often than not there is something hiding

About 3 years ago, I looked at a white 2009 IS-F with a major theft vandalism/ claim in 2010. The owner didn't disclose the amount at the time, but after I ran carproof, it came out to $35K. Basically, someone jacked the wheels and broke a window to get into the interior. The resulting damage caused replacement of the brakes, wheels, and interior trim.

I'm pretty sure this is the same car. I lost interest after I saw the claim because this is going to be very difficult to resell unless you have the right buyer.

2009 - Honda Fit, Red, 14,000kms, Clean, Manual - $9500

Nlkko 02-28-2017 11:09 AM

That's a cheap F with low km.

dared3vil0 02-28-2017 12:48 PM

DX- No AC, no power group, nothing. New they're like 15k. Not such a good buy.

hud 91gt 02-28-2017 01:04 PM

Who wants to put money on the fact it's only ever had 1 oil change? Maybe none? ha

I disagree, your 15k does not factor freight PDI and levys, from what I can see the cheapest FIT is $16,600.

With that said my determination of a good deal is based on the used market and what I see on CL. For that reason I still think this is a solid deal.

Here is an examples of a "not such a good buy":

Probably original tires which have definitely rotted. I've always had way more problems with cars that have sat. much rather have a newer one with more K for the same price

Hopefully they did oil changes ~Q4 months

My barbers neighbour was selling a ~05-06 Pontiac G5 last year that had just under 7000kms but had dealer receipts for oil changes every 4 months. I saw some receipts and the difference was ~20 kms which was probably to the dealer and back.

Anyone familiar with the reliability of the tercel 4wd posted here? Kinda interested in it as a daily.

2005 Lexus LS430 for 18k. Not really a good buy but a really clean and quite rare big body Lexus for someone who's into the VIP scene. Clean, facelifted 05-06 LS430's are quite hard to come across here.
