2002, finally going to break 33k miles this summer. I've got a few garage scars inherent to storing a car in a garage while there is an active child around. Otherwise "mint". Owned mine for over seven years now, the longest I've ever owned a car. Bought it with 11k miles, so that's about 3k miles a year since.

Mint? Nope, mine has a few dings and scratches. The center elbow rest is in need of replacement and same goes for the soft top. Wear and tear, I knew it was coming.

Mechanically speaking, it's pretty close to mint. I take great care of my car

Just kinda curious as to who has the oldest S2000 with the least miles on it....

I got a '01 NFR with a little over 60k miles on it.

1999 NFR 48K miles, 98% standard even down to the original cassette player, and if I say so myself 'mint'

S2000s came with cassette players?!

Learned something new today

I got a '00 with 30,8xx on it. It sits in a storage unit and comes out once every month or two. It has 2 minor marks on it from previous owner. Other than that, it's pretty cherry. Been thinking about selling it, but not sure.

Only overseas.

Mine is pretty mint. One owner, 26,000 miles, never in rain or winter driven and garaged with the oem cover. I neglect it.

The day I sold my 04 it had 130k on the clock and looks nearly brand new.

Then ONLY sign of use was a bit of road rash on the bumper, only seen up close and some driver seat wear. Original top!

Lol me too. I can tell you when and where every ding and scratch on my S came from.
