Found one this weekend just outside of Watkins Glen at a small used car dealership. Red '00 S2000. $7200. All it has was the price on it, no one was around so the mileage couldn’t be checked. Car was far from perfect, obvious the price reflected that. Some rust starting and saw one small dent on the pass. fender. ---

> [@agy2k2](#): > > It has over 200k, 4 chopped tires, and exterior is beat… Tires may have since been changed then, they looked new. It’s “beat” for an S2k, but it’s still a 10 yr old Honda. The rust starting along the rocker and bubbling along the pass. side quarter was the first things that I saw. Interior looked to be in good shape for 200k miles then. ---

I’m checking out a few leads - but why is it that half of these s2000’s have had new motors put into them? The sellers all say “receipts included” but I’m still not very comfortable with that… ---

high compression and down shifting too hard usually caused by tracking them makes them pop. as long as you take good care of the motor tho it should last. ive put about 30k on my car in 2 1/2 summers and it still drives nice. ---

technical service bulletin its something that often goes wrong but isn’t life threatening so no recall. just something the manufacturer knows is a fault and should get fixed. IE. 3.5 Nissan have a tsb on the timing chain… they have been known to make a clicking noise around 100k ---

Axle nuts just needed to be retorqued on early models if I remember correctly. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/honda-s2000-b-c-i-look-like-johnny-tran/74990.md?page=1)
