I am looking at buying a used 2003 S2K with 98K miles on it. I wanted to know what I needed to look for or look out for before I bought this car.

Thank you for your help.

Welcome.

When you get an S2000 check out the link in my signature.

 

 

I look for as close to factory as you can get and honestly I look a lot at the driver.

If the car is modded there is a very strong possibility they drove the hell out of it. Cleanliness is a big sign, both trash and such as well as under the hood care. How well did that person really take care of that car? Finally the driver, for the most part, the older the driver +30, the better they take care of their vehicle. (Obviously that varies person to person, but have a conversation with the owner and really pay attention how they talk about their car.) If they use the term "it's really fast", that clearly means they drive the piss out of it.

The previous owner of my S was a 35 year old woman who kept it completely stock and just enjoyed the convertible. She married a man that was too tall to fit so decided to sell.
