Greetings.

To answer your questions, the S2000 is as reliable as any other Honda. Most owners have reported few problems.

There are some changes between the different model years. The biggest ones are from 01-02 and 03-04. Since you didn't mention the possibility of buying an 04, HERE is a good place to read up on the differences between a 00-01 and an 02-03.

Other changes were had in '04 (major) and some more in '06 (minor).

Good luck.

If you need more cash, sell the Eclipse, the Civic, and the 300Z. After you drive the S2000, you won't want to drive any of them anymore

congrats & welcome!!

remember, its a honda! and all years are reliable.
mine is the oldest '00- like any car, as long as you find one that has been taken care of it will be fine.

check out the wash & wax forum so you can find out how to take care of the car and make it look brand new again!

Congrats in advance. You'll love it. I've had my car for only 5 days and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made!

i will sell the 300zx, there is no point of having it anymore, cuz both of them are 2 seaters...

the civic sedan is my daily drive, and my eclipse turbo is my fast car, but at the same time i am tire on how unrealible are those eclipses..

i guess i will buy a 01 honda s2000. thx 4 your answers.
