n00b needs your guidance...
Hey all,
Ive been looking very seriously at the S2k. I have found an 05 with 4500 miles on it going for what i consider a good deal. The only problem is the car is "molested" it has an exhaust and a carbon fiber hood, looks like a used car dealer got a hold of the car, maybe a repo?
Either way, would you consider an s2k that has mods like that? I ask only b/c i hear there are problems with the trannys and also concerned that the mods may void factory warranty.
Please let me know, it looks nice and is a great deal. Oh and if anyone has a free carfax acct please let me know i dont want to trust the dealers word.
Thanks for your time

If its a private seller or private used car lot, ask to take the car to honda. Make an appointment to do a prebuy inspection with compression check. They'll thoroughly go over the car. I know its not a 100% but they should be able to tell you enough.

There are so many of these cars that were used as weekend cruisers by older yuppies(not trying to offend anyone). Why not just look for one that was a traded in 3rd or 4th car that had every service done on-time and hardly saw the light of day. There are plenty of them for sale.
Or look for a yellow one that some dude's wife forced him to sell right away.
