Default What to look for in a 2003?

Hey guys, I'm going to check out an '03 s2000 tonight and I was wondering if there was anything that I should be paying close attention to. The car has super low miles, and I already ran a car fax on it. On paper it seems like a great deal. However, I'm not familiar with these cars (I'm actually coming from a DSM) is there anything that I should look out for in the test drive? Thanks.

here, read thoroughly through this thread, it's got all the info you need.

2003 is the last year of the AP1 2.0L, hence all the little flaws and issues should have been addressed for the most part.

thanks a lot, that was very helpful. I also called a local honda dealership and set up an appointment to run a full diagnostic test on it, so hopefully everything checks out and my next thread will be posting pics of my new s2k

One thing i would check is the fuel filler neck to see if the tsb has been performed. Also might want to check for cracked retainers if youve got the extra money.
