Default What to look out for..

I'm going to give the S2000 I may buy, a test drive tomorrow. It's a 50+ mile drive from where I live and I just want to know what to expect/ what to look for to make the trip worth the while. I really want this car but I'm not gonna make a bad decision and have it cost me later if its avoidable.

It seems like a really good deal and the dealer didn't mention anything being wrong with it when I contacted them. It's an '01 in Berlina Black with some 77,800 miles on it. My previous car was a 95 Integra GSR and this is a big step up for me and I don't really know what to expect. any advice/comments/concerns..? Anything would be appreciated.

Thanks, D.
