should I buy this S2k?
2003 with 53,000 miles Silver on Black, 100% stock, new KUHMO tires (are these good?) No extra no whistles (no rear deck spoiler or front lip which I wanted)
seller is really motivated (called and email me few times this weekend)
listed asking price from seller $19,000. Wants for me to make an offer
Is it insulting to offer $18,000????? Is that worth it?

Not bad, compare it to your local prices.
Make sure the Kuhmo tires are sized right. OEM tires were specialized S-02 and/or S-03s were 205 front, 225 rear but the contact patch on the S-02s were equivalent to 245s from other brands. If the contact patch is 8-8.5" (I believe, double check tirerack S-02s for Ap1) it should be fine. Small thing but it does affect the driving experience.

bought the car for 17K. the kuhmos suck, i feel the rear keep wanting to slip and come forward. they are 205 and 225. Even though he said 3k on the tires, i think i'm getting new ones

you got a pretty good deal at $17. how did he lower 2 grand for you? I bought my 01 at $17,700 two years ago. Should have gotten an 02 because of the new suspension and convertible top.

You should be able to find a better deal than that i am starting to see ap2s for 19-21k. If you do get an ap1 make sure u get an 02 or 03 because of the upgrades. Search S2ki.com or ebaymotors. Most s2000s have really LOW miles and that car doesnt have alot but it has a good amount

That price was from last year, but anyways regarding the tires, I was slipping b/c they were way under inflated. they did a better job later. But these tires must not have been too new. I had to replaced them in December, worn out. I also bought AP2 rims with my new tires. So much nicer looking now.
