When it comes to buying a used S2000 is it better to look at the year or the car's milage? Whats a good ratio of milage/year?

 

i would say roughly about 10,ooo miles per yrs. is ok/avg.
maybe more

 

look for a good deal

Great response. Seriously.

not

 

sometimes the low milage s2k's are in worse shape than the high milage ones.
its so hard to find clean ones.

 

it's not necessarily the milage or the year of the car, it's the quality of care the previous owner(s) put into the car. if they took care of the car, you are all set. if they beat the crap out of it, you could be in for lots of trips to the dealer or mechanic to get things fixed. either way, i highly suggest getting an extended warranty that covers EVERYTHING, or at least pretty close to everything. that way, if there is something wrong with the car, it gets fixed without you having to pay for it.

 

look for the gas door release lever...

 

Sup Jerk (Swann) I didnt have problems finding the release like byrd said he did, didnt he hafto call you? lol.....anyway, like some ppl said, look for a S that has been taken care of. IMO its better to buy someones DD S instead of there weekend warrior S, it may have less miles on the warrior, but its been beat to death more than likely

 

yea, byrd called me, he couldnt find it. hell, he couldnt find his mouth to eat if he didnt run it so damn much ...^^^^i heard you were selling your's already? what happened to the inline pro kit i heard so much about? you poser... dood, you gotta call me sometime, i need to know about travis's fc. i want it i think.

 

ehhh, i WAS till I found out that I would soon hafto repalce the clutch, diff and plus downtime would be a bish....after tune and all, it would only run mid 11's and cost me around 8gs MINIMUM!

 

oh yeh, and travis dosent have the FC, he traded for some 4door DA

 

I am new and really interested in knowing what to look for in an S2000?

 

check vin with carfax,and test drive it,make sure all gears are good.So far couple of my friend had to rebuilt their tranny.Good luck !
