Default Is this s2000 worth it?

I'm looking at a 2000 s2000.

100,000 miles

It has new OEM rims, has a fresh coat of paint, exterior and interior are excellent.

However the vehicle has been in an accident. The front apron was damaged, wrinkled, straightened, and repainted.

Is this car still worth purchasing or should I move on?

1st:

Aside from price. With the structure compromised would I have nightmares with alignment etc ...

2nd:

How much would YOU pay for it if you were in my shoes?

Thanks!

There's minty 2000 s2000's for around 10k so shoot for less than that. Mileage really isn't an issue as long as basic maintenance has been done. The highest mileage s2k just cleared 252k so there's still life in that car.

You can find ones for $6/7k that have been in a accident and repaired. Just look around.

Anyone asking $8kish in this market will budge, if you have $7000 in cash in their face.

That sounds about right to me.

100k miles and repaired accident damage? I'd keep looking.
