Hey everyone, I'm going to be off to a dealer soon to check out this used 01 s2000,
Now I've read alot of posts on this forum about some things that had be recalled or had to be fixed under warrenty to the 01's? But I forgot most of them, can anyone list some things to check over and or FIX once i buy the 01?

thanks for anyone who helps out =)
seeya!

 

the common things for the 01's were the 2nd gear grind and seatbelts i believe are the main ones you can try a search and find out more also (search for TSB's)

 

Search?

You said yourself that you read a lot of posts, and forgot them. People took the time to write well thought out answers once. Don't you think it's only polite to spend some of YOUR time searching for things that have already been written then to make EVERYONE else rewrite things they already wrote?

 

Oh gosh, sorry.

 

No '01 S2000s were delivered with the seat belt recall undone. Some were shipped to the U.S., but the TSB performed before the cars were shipped to the dealer. I remember because my car was delayed at the port of entry to have this done and mine was one of the first '01s.

I love my '01. If the used car looks good to you, take it. Feel free to ask here for advice.

 

I have an '01 and plan on having the following TSB's taken care of under warranty, by the time I reach 30K miles:

#02-042 ~ Spark plug replacement
#01-008 ~ Driver's window doesn't go all the way down
#00-054 ~ Clutch buzz/rattle on deceleration
#00-064 ~ Windshield molding deformed

None of these are really an issue to me, but may as well do it if its covered!
Consider a MY'02, if you can afford it! The only thing I don't like about my car now is the plastic rear window! The other things I didn't like have been upgraded, the wheels and the stereo!
I may change out the top, but it is costly and quite a big job.
Besides, at this time of year, my top stays down nearly all of the time!

Exactly. It is a roadster, after all.
