Looks like normal wear to me. In fact mine look just about like that.

Plan to put new tires on and do a 4-wheel alignment at the same time.

S2000s have an appetite for tires. Expect this to be an expensive maintenance item on your purchase (if you go for it).

Cleared sidemarkers, AP2 radio door... Nice.

I don't go for those BBS wheels, but the car looks nice and cared for.

Check the oil and spark plugs.

Your car's in great condition man.

Ask for the maintenance history of the car. If it hasn't been serviced recently, then just bring it to a shop to change all the fluids if you are worried.

Anyway, have fun with the ride!

It's not hard. Depending on what you put into the car (like LE607), you might need a hand pump. With the LE607, I put the bottle in hot water first to make the fluid a little easier to work with.

Whatever you do, be careful with the floor jacks and stands.

I think you use brake cleaner spray once you drain the dirty lube, and then turn the wheels so the diff starts to turn internally. That should help clean out the old fluid.

You put the drain plug back in (after using paper towels to remove the dirty shavings from the magnet), and then you fill from the side until it starts to drip back out the fill hole. Make sure the car's level when you do this so you get the right amount of lube in there (around a quart, if I recall).
