355hp and a 3.8? No other details on the engine swap and pix taken in a shop.
Also, that looks like a 986, which they stopped in 2004.
eh?

1. It looks like a 986 which only made to 2004
2. Missing S badge (first picture)
3. It looks like 5 speed just like all non-S 986 (pictures 5)
4. There is no 3.8L engine in 986 unless engine swap from 997 but keep the 5 speed while engine swap?
Conclusion: The poster doesn't know anything about 986, or just a fake ad. Quote:

you're right, fail post. The lack of plates led me to do a google image search which didn't turn up any results so I posted it up. Always possible the owner doesn't know much about cars hence the errors but there are too many incongruities, probably a fake  | |

agreed, if that thing had the timing chain done it would be a lot more attractive proposition. It's a cool car but the price is high even factoring in it's rarity and color.
who 3M's the hood but not the front bumper? Would lead me to think the bumper has been resprayed? That and the story on the wheels, when I hear about a couple of curb rubs, I get it, sh*t happens but who repeatedly scrapes the wheels on the curb so many times that the best option is to throw them out? That tells me whoever drove this car was not being overly attentive to it.
but hey, what do I know, I get fooled by shady Boxster ads on CL.

As to clear bra, dealers in Ontario seem to be really pushing the half hood clear bra - the idea is to avoid rust/corrosion on the leading edge of the hood.
The front bumper usually isn't done not only because it's plastic and can't rust, but also because it's usually a more complicated panel and costs quite a bit more.

That S2000 was for sale a while back and I think I remember someone on here looking at it and saying it was rough.

If you can pull codes on CEL and it's a simple exhaust fix, this would be a pretty cheap pick up. Maybe take the opportunity to upgrade exhaust.
2006 Audi A3 2.0T, 205K kms, after market wheels & deck, $3900 https://vancouver.craigslist.ca/rds/...702456584.html 
If you prefer manual, this one is decent too, for the year. 2009 and after, the engine went to TFSI which is suppose to be better than 06-08 FSI.
2010 Audi A3, manual, nice looking wheels, 170K kms, $8880 https://vancouver.craigslist.ca/rch/...689786359.html

I'd probably prefer to not have an xDrive vehicle, but at least its a manual. I really wish the running costs for these cars were a bit lower, since they're such performance bargains used.

D*ck move to skip the title status field on purpose and not admit that the car is a rebuild.
Tofu has an 06 s2000 137kms in the low 20s. Normal title.
