Hey Guys,

Need urgent help from anyone who is in or near the Cockeyesville area. I like an S2000 and would appreciate who can test drive it, or recommend a good specialist shop who can tell me if anything is wrong with the car.

Thanks all.

Thanks gregory2d for the reply. This will be a blind buy for me. I'm in Canada and before I fly down to pick it up, I just need someone who has an S2000 that can drive the car for me and assure me that it drives as normal. I just dont want to fly down, spend $500 to find out that there was a rip or issue that they didnt disclose (something like gear grind, gear popping out, it's not tracking straight....perhaps does not apply to this model year, but those are the things I would love for someone to checkout).

 

I'll be in Cockeysville on Saturday the 16th for Cars and Coffee. I wouldn't mind testing the car for you.

 

I'll be driving from southern Maryland to the Toronto, Barrie, and Midland area in June, but you might be far from that area and you'll probably want to come get it before then.

 

When my search was narrowed down to 'this is the one, if it checks out', I used a combination of:

1) A Honda dealer may be willing, for a fee, to inspect the vehicle as if it were being considered for a trade-in and provide an evaluation; the whole list below would be covered, except for the compression test ... and/or did the vehicle recently pass the vehicle inspection process of the state/province of the current owner?

2) Have a dealer/shop perform a compression test.

3) Use a checklist for anything not covered by a dealer/shop. I based my list on the list Honda publishes as their used vehicle inpsection checklist. My checklist:

Hope all turns out well!
