On a car with electric power steering? (remember the EPS light on the dash cluster)
That seems fishy to me.

I don't consider this thread worthy of the title of "True cost of ownership" for an S2000 because you've only driven your car to a total of 35k miles... That's.. what? ... About 416 miles a month? I've had my car for 2+ years and am already past 22.5k miles.
Many owners have daily driven their S2Ks since purchasing them several years back; those people should make a thread like this to show others how much they've spent in total on the S since purchasing it new.
No offense to the OP, though.

^ Agreed. To more than 50% of the people reading this, the S2000 is a daily driver of some kind. 20K miles a year v. 5K a year....big difference in 7 year maintenance cost.

LOL....my s2k IS a daily driver. My daily drive just isn't very far....I bought my house because it's about 2 miles from my office. My weekly "commute" is a whopping 20 miles.

I'm interested to hear from the people that drive 10-12k miles a year thats probably what I average but I've only had mine 2 weeks so I can't really contribute to this thread yet lol
