Buying a used S2000 - What maintenance should I do
I am going to be an S2000 owner! The car I've dreamed about since it first came out, and I finally get one of my own!
I am going to have the Honda dealer do a used car inspection, but I figure while it's over there and everything checks out, I will ask them to do some maintenance.
The owner said the only maintenance he did was scheduled oil changes. Given that the car is 5 years old, what kind of service do you think I should do?
Oil change!
Valve adjustment?
Replace engine coolant?
Replace differential fluid?
Replace all other fluids?
Air filters?
Etc?
Thanks in advance!

I would go ahead and do the fluids. Get some 303 and wipe down all the rubber moldings. Dealerships are not the best place to take your S unless it is for warranty work. They have really gone downhill lately as sales have slipped. They will try to upsell you things you do not really need. Find a good performance shop in your area that specializes in S2000's. This website and your local chapter can provide you with some names. Sounds like a nice car. Enjoy!
