posting this S2000 back up. I just got back from driving it. Relatively clean (a few bumper scrapes) clean history, local since new, new tires and brakes. I could have taken away for ~26 + tax. I think that's right on the money for AP2's these days. They were also perfectly willing to allow inspection anywhere. I think this car is very much a "CL good buy"

however

this was a case of never meeting your heroes though. I've coveted an S2000 since I first saw one, but have actually never driven one. I'm a euro-snob through and through. I've had over a dozen vw's, couple of BMW's and my 996. I'd rather be in any of them than the S2000. I appreciate what it is, but also that it does nothing for me. Tinny, noisy, kinda cheap feeling. It reminded my of bombing around in my brothers various AE86's over the years. I'm sure they're a blast, but it just doesn't suit my style.

So that's out - going to keep looking for a Cayman, or a BMW Z coupe etc.
I checked this out a couple months ago and offered 25. They told me they won't come down even if they keep the car for a year. They've had it since December!!

I didn't drive it but I tried to open the top twice and both times it got stuck half way. Finally got it open with some manual assistance. Battery died while trying to open the top. I found the aftermarket remote start to work randomly. Back bumper had some minor damage. Overall the car was nice but the color is not my first choice.
