>Hi!!!well i'm not an s2k owner yet but soon!i love the s2k since they where first came out but i can't afford a brand new, but now the 00'01 used price is around 19 to 25.

>Is there a limited production on a hardtop?

>Why is there so many used s2k from where i live?

>Is there anything i need to know before i buy a 00'01 used s2k with a 20 to 30k miles on it?

>And can you guys list all the Cons?

 

I don't believe there is a limited number on hardtops, not a lot of folks have it or need it.

There's probably quite a few S for sale in your area because it's winter now.

Don't have any cons, except if you plan to drive the car in the winter, you will need to get winter tires!

If interested, I'm selling my Silverstone 2001 S2000 with a Vortech Supercharger. Asking price is $26,000/B.O.

why r u selling the s2k??

Anywho here are my thoughts, I'm in the same position as you, in a year or so I'll be in the market for a used 01-02.

PROS:
- 9k redline
- Honda Reliability
- Convertible
- Leather Recaro
- Handling
- Xenons standard
- Eye catcher

CONS:
- No torque
- People want to steal your seats
- People probably want to vandalize your car
- Not a drag car
- Got to be a high roller to mod
- High output engine, engine life??
- Insurance if your under 25 like me

S2k owners, correct me where I'm wrong since I dont' own oen and actually have never driven one, this is just information I've gathers talking to various owners and reading up online.

 

My wife and I are having our first baby. My S just isn't really in the equation now. I need to sell it to get something with rear seats. No longer just my wife and I now, we have a little one going with us everywhere.

1. It's got more than enough torque for what it is.
2. Yes they do, buy some seat locks and park in well lit areas. Or buy a hardtop.
3. See #2
4. No its not. Most of us don't view that as a "con"
5. Buy used mods and shop carefully, you can pull it off
6. There have been a few that have gotten way up there in mileage; buy an extended warranty (at your own risk with mods) if you're worried
7. Yes, it kinda sucks. I'm 23. Granted insurance is actually $25 less than it was on my celica. Get married and get older

Good luck! It sounds like you ought to test drive before you make your final decision, but you seem to have a good understanding of what you're looking at.

 

Thanks for all the info:....
