10-Year Anniversary
As of November 22, I have had my S2000 for ten years.
Its current mileage is slightly over 94,500.
Here is my maintenance log: http://rci.rutgers.edu/~mocker/s2000/maint...ce_expenses.htm
Yes, I did pay $1500 over MSRP to get this car in 1999. I also take my S2000 to a Honda dealer for all maintenance. I simply do not have the time, skill or overwhelming interest to work on this car myself.
Your comments are always appreciated, especially from those who provide a link to their own log.

Wow, good on ya! Good to know they will last that long. I've only just now been getting to enjoy mine - its a new to me, 2005 NFR with 54k miles on it. I hope to have it last a long, long time!

Your long term results are really impressive. Outside of the usual tire and battery replacements, and a windshield (presumably a victim of a flying stone), the only real 'repair' is that clutch master cylinder. I assume you got your tires from Tire Rack. I will confess that, even with shipping and mounting as additional costs, they seem to be cheaper than my replacements from a decent retail outlet in my neck of the woods, typically close to $400 the pair, whether front or rear.
Personally, after nearly 8 years and roughly 45,000 miles, my only 'repairs' were a rear bumper and exhaust (collision related), a bunch of tires and batteries, and that spark plug recall; I am living with a balky driver's window regulator which isn't worth fixing, and I did replace the fuel filler cap in an attempt to cure a sporadic Check Engine light (hasn't helped, I confess).
Who says these S2000's aren't reliable??

Seems like if you avoided the Mile Service intervals you wouldn't have to pay so much as well as CEL's.
Looks like your Clutch master went out at 65k which is interesting. I wonder how long it usually takes for them to go out.

Congrats! A decade of ownership is quite a feat when most don't keep their cars half as long (not s2000 owners, but people in general).
Jelliotlevy- 8 years and 45k miles? Drive your car man!
j/k
I have 45k+ miles (78k on the odo) in about 2.5 years. I love daily driving this car.
