Man I would never list my car on BAT. The commenters on that site are relentless.

You cant have a bolt out of place without someone saying something. Then all of the sudden your a shady seller and no one should buy your car.

I would go ape shit as the seller.

yeah is one of the reasons why I did not want to put my e36 m3 on it. Did not know the full history so did not want to get ripped apart.

I really like the color combo on this S2000. Not sure I have seen one in this scheme.

I keep coming back to these as a second fun car but they seem to be holding there value extremely well.

I've seen a few S2000s around lately, but none as gorgeous as that one in Tucson. White with tan is a pretty unique combo that I don't think I've seen before (most are silver/black...).

Most of the ones I've seen show their age -- lots of door dings, etc. This one has been babied...

Sure the seller can but then prospective buyers read all of them as well. AND it seems if you don't respond to questions like ASAP, some people do have jobs, that gets them even more worked up.

Fuck that.

When my 2002 showed up there when the guy I sold it to put it out on Craigslist... Yeah - they were pretty ruthless. But for cause.
The guy was using pictures to represent the car that I took several years earlier. The car was not in the condition it was when I sold it. The comments section was pretty harsh. I was kinda harsh too.

But - yeah - even if I were to list one of my cars, I'd have to have a very thick skin to do so.

Do you remember what you disliked so much? Was it the engine?

I've never driven an S2K, but always had the impression that you really had to wring out that buzzy little engine all the time to get any power, when VTEC kicks in, yo.

Is that accurate?
