Has anyone owned one of these cars or have knowledge of them?

I am considering a 2000 W reg with 86k on the clock, FSH and a fair few toys!

Really looking for advice on running costs (servicing particularly), engine longevity, common faults, what they are like to drive, etc - The usual when looking for a new car!

Any advice would be appreciated.

 

I've owned one for over three years

Ownership experiences can be found here

Have a read and ask away

Moggy and Ben Hampton also own E39 M5s

They are not cheap to run but the performance is not ordinary either

 

The buying decision deliberations are here:

Seems like a long time ago.......

 

What Gad says.

Personally I wouldn't buy a pre-facelifted one nor one without satnav.

If you need any help if/when looking I would be happy to assist.

 

I bought a pre-facelift but it had all the toys and was an absolute minter. Also, was owned by a Scottish International footballer so have yet to find his stash of drugs.

Quite awesome car and that's from someone who lives on an island with a maximum 40mph speed limit and more supercars than you can shake a stick at.

It is still astounding how fast this car can acceleration for such a big beast (up to 40mph anyway, officer). but i do miss the roof-down, hear the engine roar of the S2000, especially as the summer's on the way.

Mine came with a year's warranty but needed a new clutch recently that cost
