Hey guys, just a quick question:

Would you get an MY03 with 115k or an MY00 with 62k, assuming they were both well maintained by previous owners ?
I know this is a bold statement, and most of the time if not always, the lower the miles the better but since this is a Honda, I think 115k miles is still pretty good and should have a lot of life left before major problems occur. The reason why I ask this is because I like the interior on the MY03 more, the MY00 has that red floor and lack those little details that the other one has but my main concern would be the wind deflector and the rear glass window vs plastic, now if I could replace all that in the MY00 I would definitely get it, and of course if there is any mechanical improvement on the MY03 over the MY00 that would make it even harder. Can anyone fill me up on this ?

-Which one would you rather get ?

Any input would be appreciated, thanks.

Edit: I would also love the improved radio cover that newer S2000s have on the MY00, is that replaceable ?

 

You can upgrade the MY00 to all the MY03 goodies if you want. That is a big mileage difference between the cars, what kind of prices are we talking?

 

Here is a list of differences

I've had both, the small changes don't really affect the driving experience. All S2000s are fun.

 

The MY03 is listed for 12k while the MY00 is listed for 14k, they seem kinda expensive to me, but compared to what most of them are going for right now near South Florida the price isn't too bad.
I don't know why but for some reason its really hard to find good s2000s here.

 

MY00 hands down! The 00 isn't a bad price. The 03 is a bit overpriced IMO. Those miles are high though. My s2000 is going to hit those miles soon but I know where it's been and how it was maintained.

 

I thought the MY00 was a bit overpriced being older even tho having lower miles, I wish I could get something below 50k miles but I have been dreaming with this car for quite a while now lol, its really hard to find down here on south florida.

 

The United States is a very large country with many s2000's out there. don't just limit yourself to FLA, especially if you have very specific wish list items.

all in all, by the lowest mileage s2000 you can buy. In this case, the MY2000.

I'm also going to suggest the MY00, you can try to bring the price down. 14k is on the higher side but it's not that bad given current prices. Also Darcy is right, try looking in other states for a good S2000.

 

Thanks for all your inputs guys, I will be checking the MY00 tomorrow then, I will see what I can find in other states also.

 

Look out if state. By now many early s2000s have new tips installed on them. Don't settle for this MY00 if your not satisfied. New tops are quite expensive.
