Default Savagegeese made the best s2000 buyers guide video

This is has to be the best S2000 buyers guide, and it is taken from a rational point of view.

better video than the first, but still not very factual. 1. The "shitty" plastic rear window. Mine is 17 years old, original, and still perfect. 2. AP1 valve guides and keepers. The only time they become a problem is if you over rev the car. Funny he mentions Billman, but does not mention that this is what Billman says.

Yours is just one example out of thousands. If I’m not mistaken don’t you resort to using the foam wrapped separator device to keep If from getting scratched every time you put the top down?

These reviews like anything else are very subjective. He did a good job of highlighting a lot general things you want to do when buying any used car if you want something in good condition that you plan on keeping a while (looking for rust, accident damage/bondo/proof of repair etc). Most of that can be applied to any car, not just the S2000.

He mentions things that are good to think about when buying any sports car - look for marks of dashcams and go-pros. Not a bad idea.
He did mention a few things that maybe some may not know about the car (ex hood is aluminium). Knotchy shifts when cold. etc.

Then a lot of the stuff he mentions is completely subjective. Noisy cabin - I in fact find it very refined! I can hold conversations with passengers without yelling on the highway, there are very little rattles inside the cabin and with the top up it's quite comfortable. My last convertible though was a '78 MGB! LOL -. I also find the seats very comfortable.

I think it's a good tutorial for any novice used car buyer.
