Default Found one!

Hello!

After 6 months I have finally found a S2000 in good condition!
I had a budget of £8k but really wanted to spend a bit less. After seeing over 6 s2000’s with torn roofs, 7+ owners, bad repairs, missed services ect, I was about to give up.
Until on September the 24 on my birthday I want to see a Monte Carlo blue 02 reg, 71000 mile on the clock, one owner and full Honda service history. Its immaculate and the best bit about was that I paid £6500 for it. Only bad thing about the car is the wheels need refurbishing.

Im so happy with it. The best bit about it is the engine! On the way home it only really hit me how fast this car is. My last car was a VX220 NA. this car was nippy but struggled at higher speeds. The s just keeps pulling! It is a much more refined car than the VX too. I loved the VX for its handling and the way it was so hardcore but in the end it had to go because it was just to impractical. For me the S is much more suited for my needs.

I was on the verge of giving up on finding a S and nearly went for a Z4. im glad I stuck it out now.

Ill get some pics up soon.

Good buy George...you won't regret it

Don't hesitate to ask any questions, and here's some light reading for you:

There are a few threads regarding wheel refurbishing, so have a search of the site (when it works again) if you fancy going for a different colour and want to know what it'll look like first.
