Default Looking at an S2000 this weekend, what to look for

going to a dealership to look at an 2005 S2000, anything I should look for from this model year? It is certified pre-owned, and the carfax seems pretty clean, just wondering if there are specifics I should know about beforehand.

One thing on the carfax (attached) though, it doesnt really say what happened from 5/13/2006 to 8/24/2006, though 2000 miles were added. anyone familiar with carfax, first time I've used it, thanks.

check maintenance records. make sure fluids were changed, check the area above your shoulders on the soft top for tears. my 05 as well as some others have had the soft tops tear in that area. the miles are low, so there's little to look at besides the basics

thanks for the input, I'm just hoping the certified pre-owned part covers anything that should occur.
