Buying an 'S'
Hi All,
I am getting closer to buying an 'S' (couple of months or so) but I was wondering what sort of 'S' is the best to go for. For example I get worried about buying an import, etc. I have thought about a second hand one, but fancy a new one.
I have heard that there was a change, like a updated version - this is what a dealer told me, although he was not sure when the changes had taken place or exactly what changes were made. Does anyone know what the complete list of changes were ?
I am looking at Silverstone / Black, I have seen (due to a previous thread) that showroom4cars.com can sell you onefor 1800 quid less than the retail price, but if you go to hondas-uk they will sell you this for 22295. But it's an import, my brother in law has an imported MR2 and he has trouble getting bits for it, everything has to be dealer sourced ie light bulbs for example, and I am keen to aviod the same issue.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

The revisions were made to the 2002 model, and primarily consisted of replacing the plastic rear window with a glass pane and "tweaking" the geometry settings so that back end break-away became more progressive.
There is no difference at all between a UK sourced car and a parallel European import save that the latter does not come with a CAT 1 alarm and immobiliser (cost to add -

Paul, I despair that I bought last year rather than this year - there was not one single car up for sale when I was looking, with the result that I spent much more than I needed to

Don't forget to read the tech faq which will answer quite a few import questions, as well as what to look for if you buy second-hand.

Been to the dealer in Watford today, and they are saying a lot of stuff I don't think is right. Has anyone had any dealings with showroom4cars on the net, are they imports or are they UK cars, can anyone help ??. On the site they say that they are uk supplied.
