S2000 prices do seem to have gone up recently, I paid £6000 for my facelift GT with 60k miles in November 2012.

yea i'm with you on the tyres theory, i looked at a lot of S2Ks before getting mine, it's so hard finding a genuine one these days, so many i looked at had questionable history and 3,4+ owners. Ironically after travelling all over the country i found mine from a honda dealership about 10miles up the road!

You need to think about resale (unless you plan to keep it forever!) so spend as much as you can on a real good one, you wont lose much, if anything on a good s2000.

I like to see a whole sheaf of receipts so you can easily ascertain whats been done because a service stamp frankly means nothing
