I'm new here so first of all I'd like to say hi

As the title suggests I am interested in the S2000 and am considering buying one, I have skimmed (and will read in more detail) the 65 page FAQ document, but have some other quick questions.

My budget of about

 

MPG - Nothing to write home about...
DD - Sure, tons of us do it.
Resale@100k - You'll find someone that will want to track it.

 

if you're only gonna drive it for 3 years and will do less than 15k miles per year, have you thought about leasing it? for that amount of money in the US, you can lease a brand new one. that way you don't have to worry about maintenance, and you'd be driving a brand new car.

i don't know how that translates to the UK, though.

 

Honestly ... there is nothing to worry about

This is the best toy I've ever bought

I DD'd my car for 18 months in all sorts of central California weather without a single problem. MPG was 19.5 city & 29 hwy. When it's time to sale list it during the spring because it's convertible season and much easier to sale.

 

Fuel mileage is totally subjective. If you drive it nice and dont get stuck in traffic and dont hot vtec all the time, then you can easily get 250-275 miles on a tank. If you have a lot of stop and go traffic and are taking a bunch of short trips and playing ( ) more than you shoukld you can get as low as 200 on a tank. I think the least I have ever gotten was 207 miles on a full tank.
