My first post here!

I've been in the market for a roadster and after seeing what the S2000 can do i fell in love.

A few questions before i start seriously looking for a car. What should i look for when inspecting the car? I dont want one that someone has moded and tore up. Anything else i should look for or ask the owner/dealer?

I am looking to get a low mileage 2003-2004, i have not driven the 2004 yet but i was very impressed with the 2003 and like the style options of the 04. Would it be worth my while to get a honda certified car? What price should i expect to pay?

If i dont find an offer i cant refuse now i might wait until the spring so i dont have to use the car for the winter, might be more 2004s out then too.

Thanks for any words of advise on my purchase

 

I am on my second S2000....just picked it up a few hours ago. I looked for an 04' and worked a deal for invoice....the car sold, but actually found an 05' that came in yesterday and got it for invoice +few hundred...Why look for an 04? If you want new, look for a low volume or small dealership and wait for the first snow!

 

First of all, welcome to the board.

I realize you are new here, but if you'd take a look around and read some of the threads posted by others before starting a new thread of your own, it would help everyone. There is already a perfectly good current thread about this exacy topic one away from your post:

What to look for in used s2000 '2000

There are already 22 replies to that thread, maybe some of those replies would be useful to you as well. Good luck.

 

Oh man, i did not see that thread until just now! lol and i've done tons of searches so far and learned a ton of information. Thats how i decided on the 2003-2004 model because most of the bugs have been worked out.

I was just wondering about any problems that occur with the s2k that i could look out for. That other thread is soo different too, he's from canada and looking for a MY00
