I've been an owner of a MY 2000 since June, and I must say... it's such crazy fun for the money that I just can't tell anyone to buy any other car for the price. Buy it, love it, and ignore the "snap oversteer" comments. It has a short wheelbase, so the rear will come out quick when you provoke it, but with decent tires it won't just come out completely out of the blue like some may make it sound like.

This thread should be in the "S2000 Talk" forum.

I have a 2000 and got it in a local dealer car is good for me very fun and fast I paid $17,300 + came to find out the differential and driveshaft were destroyed. I paid almost 3k to get new parts from dealer other than that car is great... I believe car was ABUSE HARD and the WEAK stock differential didnt help but I love it go for it.
