S2000s

Post by Bigbacon »

I know some of you have these and I'm just curious how reliable they are. I'm looking at 05 with 78k that looks clean in and out. Anything weird one should know about them from a non auto cross perspective?

My dad hasn't had any trouble with his. 2003 with ~80k miles. However it's been crashed twice (in the rain) and he's had the seats stolen out of it twice. The seats go for something like $6k each from Honda :o So don't let the tires wear down and don't park it somewhere for extended periods of time and you should be good.

I bought mine in 2009 with 68K miles on it. Now it has 123K miles on it. The only things I had to do besides standard maintenance was replace a bad cat (which was easy, liquid wrench and 5 bolts) and have the clutch cylinders replaced. Pretty good if you ask me!
