    Why do S2K's have such high KM's?

    Every time I take a sticky beak at them on car sales most of them sit at the 150 000 - 200k mark 0_o it's hard to believe this amount of KM's in a 2 seater roadster!

    Yeah I kind of understand what your getting at but some of these cars are 14 years old now, so do the math on average km's being set at 15k per year.
    You would naturally think, being an enthusiast car, and a 2 seat roadster at that, that most cars would have below average kms.
    You also have to consider that these cars(due to there impracticality) get turned over quite often, so I only assume that people only own them for short periods, but make the most of it and get out and slap those laps

              Look at the cars age, its normal for them to be above 150ks now
              My R34 just hit 200ks (as the cluster shows), thats normal for a 15+ year old car to reach this many ks

                Because they are addictive to drive therefore it is inevitable that people do some km in them

                    I always cringe when I see a S2000 for sale with either P plates on it, 20 inch rims or the guys name is Mohammad, ect ect ect...

                        Your not the only one, so many abused examples out there, it's sad, good ones are really hard to find and are commanding a price premium,
                        I think the markets at a bit of a tipping point now where good low km ones may actually begin to go up in price

                          Agreed, but let's keep racism out of this =)
