I found this S2000 on craigslist with 370,000 miles, and it looks good.

Got me thinking and I think this is the highest mileage s2000 ive seen. Does anyone know of any higher ones?
I actually think it would be cool owning like a 500k mile s2k

 

There are those in the 200,000 club. Perhaps we'll get a current update from some of them (calling i<3myap1).

Someone did start a 300,000 mile club thread in anticipation of people posting in it, but nobody has.

It still looks really good at those miles!

 

I've been looking for a high mileage one as my daily but idk if having so much miles on a car like that is a good idea. Then again it is a Honda so I don't see why it shouldn't be good to drive for many more miles.

 

For a car like this, with a simple, easy to work on drivetrain, what problems would mileage present?

So long as its in good overall shape, the $ things most likely to have issues (besides normal wear items like brakes) are engine, trans, diff, hubs, steering rack, suspension. Maybe electric power steering stuff. None of these are especially difficult for a decent DIY mechanic to fix with salvage parts from a lower mileage wreck.

Point being that there shouldn't be much fear factor buying a higher mileage S. If it still looks and runs good, and the price is good due to the miles, there isn't a ton of risk should something major fail soon after purchase. The cars price just needs to be low enough to cover that risk. Motor goes bad, buy a salvage motor for $1.5k-$2k, drop it in yourself over a weekend. If the price is low enough that you can absorb that sort of outcome, and if you checked the car out before to minimize that risk, don't be afraid to jump in.

But this advise is only valid for someone that can do their own work. If you need to pay someone else to work on your car, any high mileage car is probably not a good idea.

 

If that thing was in my area. I would totally buy it for his asking price.

edit: assuming its acutally as clean as it looks in the pictures.

 

Nope CEL is on. They aint selling it because the light is on. Id bet they got it checked and found out some horrible news.

 

True.

 

That 370k is amazing.

 

The light is for emissions. What is the worst thing the light could be on for? Cat? Easy, cheap if you buy aftermarket or used. Misfire could be a lot of things that could get expensive if you don't know how to troubleshoot. But what else on a car as simple as this could be so costly to fix (that is causing a cel) that it would be a dealbreaker?
