When almost all the S2000s available have more like 20,000 miles on them, would you, (ifyou got a great price) pay for an S2000 with 70,000 miles?

Normally, it would be hard to do, but considering its a Honda?

 

Don't see why not. (If it was kept up real well)

 

Why not? 70,000 miles on a Honda is like 30,000-50,000k on most cars, i'd say regardless of car, if its a honda, 70,000 is still a fairly decent mileage to consider purchasing.

I'd certainly have it checked over though...good $80 safety net.

 

The motor is supposed to be good until 107k miles, if it stayed stock. On 70k I'd at least check compression/leakdown. Clutch would be a suspect. A friend's S with 56k had its O2 sensors give out.

motor good til 107k? explain that...plenty of ppl over that mileage on their motors

 

I meant as far as the first scheduled tune up for the motor is 107K miles. For other cars its usually 60k or 75k. Even then its just a tune up: new plugs, cam chain adjustment, etc.

 

ahh ok

 

i'd buy one as well

 

I'd get it.... it better be under 14k though if it's an 00 or 01

just my opinion....

 

I found one and the guy wants $24,000 CDN... I think thats closer to $20,000 USD right now

and I'd have to pay 15% more in taxes

 

i WOULDNT pay $20,000 for an S2000 with over 70k on it...should be in the low/mid teens USD.

 

If your getting a deal then definately, Hondas will perform long and hard day in and day out

 

An 00-01 with 70k should run you about 15k roughly. Anything less could be a compromise in the car's integrity.

 

I'm thinking it might just be the time to take the plunge into S2000 territory

I know once it gets a little colder around here I'll be able to pick one up for cheaper

 

yes if u get it for a good price.

 

i have 88k on mine as of yesterday... the only problem I've ever had was with the rear wheel bearing. And that was because I never got the tsb done for the rear axle nut. But to answer your question $15-16k would be a good price.

 

mine had about 70k on it when i got it. and it runs like a dream especially with the comptech kit on it.
