Yeah it seems a bit dodgey to me too.
I thought it had around the same mileage when it was advertised in NSW a few month's back.

New one listed today.
Remember seeing it in NSW, stood out because of the 3M covered bonnet.

No service history, and i remember seeing it for about 21k back in nsw..

Looks pretty shabby, especially given the low km's

Too fast for the street :P

Thoughts on this one? http://carsales.mobi...ils/?R=12129940

Alot of people tell me not to touch a S2000 that has been over 100,000km's...why :\ Do they all magically start having millions of problem's after this figure?

You owned an all red interior for 6 years? I never noticed! I would never buy one, red dash is just far too extreme.

I think because it revs so high, people feel the F20 has a very short life. Properly maintained 100000 is not a problem.

over 100k is not bad at all, when i had mine it had 130xxx, and it never mist a beat till i sold it at 160, as joe said i think alot of people believe it wont last long cause it revs to 9k, and at work everyone shares that oppinion, but none of them have owned one, The s2k was the most reliable car i have owned. so to answer your life expectancy question, if it was properly maintained i dont see why it wont make it to 300,000

black matts and ap2 centre console help reduce the redness...

Search is your friend.

Theres a guy on this very forum with over 450,000KM on his motor.
The S2000 won the UK most reliable car about 5 times in 6 yrs.
100,000 on a Honda motor is fk all.
YOur looking at buying a car thats 12yrs old, with less than 100,000km? LOL GOOD LUCK not finding one with a speedo replacement. I'd rather a 140KM S2K than a 50KM s2000 with ratty worn out seats whining diff, clicking axles, hellaflush wheels and a shitty ass P plate.

Mine was a weekender for 4yrs, in those 4yrs I still put 5,000km average on it each year.

Mine has a genuine 131000KM, something I can't say for most other S2000 for sale on carsales...

Very nice car, but price is a bit steep. But then, what price on quality?

Did the prev owner mention how bad the damage was? Was it mostly panel?

Contemplating looking at it.

He didn't mention it. I checked revs and told him its a RWO then pretended he didn't know. Got another mate to enquire about it and he said he bought it off an auction and I left it at that. Although when I inspected it, it was in good condition. Although bolts on the fender gave it away as it was scratched.
