Default Picking it up tomorrow!!!

My wife and I are getting an '02 S2000, blk/blk tomorrow. They had one left on the lot, and wanted to sell it, I guess this month, because I'm getting it for $29,800. Can't wait! Any early precautions, like the first 500 miles? Or any other thoughts for a new owner. Once I get it, I'll post some pix. Although hardly a snow car (I live in Vermont, will be garaged in the winter), looking forward to driving it.

John

Congratulations on a great purchase! Awesome price, too!

Just keep the revs below 6000 for the first 600 miles. Read your owner's manual (it has details on the break-in period and other important info), but you should know about the rev-limit before you leave the dealer's lot.

One more thing - check for the spring spacers before you drive away. There are 14 of them!

Good luck, have fun, be safe, and welcome to the club!
