Any thoughts?
Seems a little to good to be true for that price...
Cat-D?

Ad says 2008 in title, but description says 'T' 99. £6900 is probably about right for a 99 car, depending on condition etc

Minus a bit more for naff mods...

Pretty sure that cant be a 2008, and as said, it has a 99 plate on it...

Might be an import. Red bonnet badge didn't come on the UK cars.

I would suspect it's a 1999 car imported from Japan in 2008.

Really? Mine isn't imported and has a red badge. Possible it was changed though?

Probably

Its a '99 T reg so one of the first "twitchy" S2k's.

I think its a bit pricey given I paid £6700 for my 02 with slightly more miles on it at 67k, but UK car, suspension changes for the 02 model, and glass rear screen.

The leather on the transmission tunnel was facelift too wasn't it?

Seems to be sporting that.

Strange. Shame it's miles away from me, not so easy to just go take a peak.

Anything in particular that wears, to look out for in S2000's?

O/T but anyone who can't be bothered to move their car to get some nice detailed pictures for an advert, usually doesn't get my call.

Perhaps it's just me that finds this a bit irritating?

Rusted suspension bolts, no underseal on an import, hood wear inside. The leather transmission cover can be bought and retro-fitted (one in the photo has carpet though and is a jdm import.) Induction kit and gear knob allong with a new rocker cover and other changes maybe.
