Great info, thank you!
Was very helpful in picking up my 07 Rio Yellow with 50k on the odometer. Interestingly my S2K was a trade-in at a Ford dealership. (why someone would trade the S for a Ford bewilders me). I was able to drive the car prior to purchase for a few days. Took the opportunity to take it to my trusted Honda dealership, to a specific tech who works on S2Ks specifically, and owns NSXs. I had them do the full CPO check, as well as more details thanks to this guide.

Hi, I'm currently in the market for a ap2 s2000. I took a look at a 04 BB with 56k the other night and noticed that the rear bumper was not flush to the rear quarter panels at the corner of the tail-lights. The passenger side was off by a CM, while the driver side was off by 1/2 a CM. Should that be a cuase for concern, is this common body defect on all s2k's, or a clear indication that the car was tapped on its rearend? Since it was late, I didn't really have time to check the vin's on the body panels, but I didnt see any apparent overspray in the wheel wells, window trim, or body panel edges. The carfax came up clean, but the car has gone through 4 owners already. I am planning to go again during the day to get a more thorough check of the car, but just wanted some advice on if I'm wasting my time. Thanks in advance.

Okay, so this is my first post so the first thing I would like to say is, what's good! Anyway, I'm looking at this ap1 right now and I have a few questions and would really like and greatly appreciate some help. Its an 01 with 55,xxx miles, bone stock and the dealership is wanting $13,900 for it.. it has a huge rip in the rear "window" of the soft top, other than that its in pretty good condition. My question is would this be a good deal? Offcourse the sticker price is $13,900 so I definitely won't be paying that... I might be able to get it for 13k. If so, would 13 grand be a good deal? Would really appreciate some help! Please and thank you!
