Ahhh a timing chain, i see. My bad I'm a noob with this vehicle. I definitely need to find out if it was wrecked or stolen though. Thanks! I'm thinking i should probably pass on it if its a wrecked vehicle. I'll remember to check the VIN of course.
Since you apparently have no clue about S2000's, I'd suggest you buy something you know more about.

When should the timing chain be replaced?
It should never need replacing.

Typically a bearing blows up before the chain fails.

NOT worth the hassle. Save up a bit more and buy a clean title AP1.
