I then went to pick up an S2000 in GA from an enthusiast. It had 50k miles, all stock except wheels, and in the pictures it looked perfect. But boy, I was in for a treat...

the soft top tear/patch was bigger than I expected, the paint was in horrible shape, and the bumpers had been repainted though all the VINs were in tact and carfax was clean. Despite the condition this was probably the best stock car I've driven so far. The way this car delivers power is so dramatic, and with 255 rubber it felt so planted. I really liked this car, but I'm a bit of a detail freak and the fiancee absolutely hated it. It was loud on the highway, sometimes a little scary driving due to the soft top, and just overall making me feel terrible about my purchase. I sold the car for a small loss not too long after.
