Default jdm spec s2000

Hey there fellas.
Just after putting down a deposite for my 1999 jdm S2000 and i am collecting it in a few days.oh i cant wait but av a few questions just to get me up and running.i examined and drove the car and it is amazing,like nothinh iv ever driven before and mechanically everything seems in good working order and the mileage was verified by the shaken tests i was shown.there is 47500 miles on and the exterior is like new,no chips,scratces,etc, which leads me to believe that possibly the car has seen a lot of hours sitting in traffic will this have any negative affect on the car e.gcarbon build up. and if so can it be rectified??and what else should i look for??
im a newbie to these forums so not quiete experienced in navigating my way round,so if any1 can point me in the right direction or help in any i would b most grateful.
cheers in advance,doyler

You can fix that by a good long blast using VTEC as much as possible.

Did you get to see the Japanese auction grade?

You should get a grading sheet with the car, IIRC 5 being the highest - but extremely rare.

This is the chance you take with imports if you havent seen them in the flesh.
