Default Tips for buying...

a used S2000.
I presently have a 99 miata that I am selling and planning on purchasing a used S2000 by early next year(at the latest).
I would appreciate any input/experiences regarding this. Any things to look for or avoid.
Thanks

Buy a new one!!!
Just my .02. The price won't be that much different. You are looking at maybe $3000-$4000 on a 33,000 car. Finance what you can't afford.

He is absolutely correct you would probably save the difference in financing, because of the interest rate. The funniest thing I have ever seen is a local Honda dealer had a used 2001 for 35K.

Yup .. I agree.. even in my land of monolopy money for currency..
the only thing that will suck is that buying new prevents you from opening the throttle up until after the break in period...around 600miles or 1000km..

Buying a new one is the only way you can be sure the car is broken in properly.
