...and i noticed while decelerating around 2k-3krpm's, there seemed to be a slight buzz or vibration sound. I remember reading somewhere while doing research for the car that the clutches on the early model S2000's made some sort of sound. Is what I experienced this "clutch buzz" that I have read about? Is it a big deal that would cause me problems in the future, or is it just a noise and no big deal?

Some info on the car:

2000 Silverstone S2000
68k miles
Hardtop
Needs paint on front and rear bumpers and on a fender, dealer agreed to paint it.
They are replacing the rear plastic window on the soft top, it is very faded.
They will not let me see the maintenence records for the car due to the new post-911 privacy laws.
They will give me a 1 year 12k mile warranty, but I want to push them to throw in they extended powertrain warranty due to the lack of records.

And they are asking $15,900, does this sound reasonable? Blue book value is rated at $14,900 for good condition.

Thanks for taking the time to read and respond. Any help is greatly appreciated!

 

yes thats the clutch buzz you are hearing/feeling...

replacing the rear plastic and giving you that 1yr/12k mile seems good to me.. i would see if you can wizz ur way into that powertrain....

 

have you checked out S2ki yet? I sold my GPW for that price, but my car was mint inside and out, with a hardtop, and full Buddy club RS suspension.. check out S2ki, there are a lot of s2000s that are being sold at a nice value there..

 

check my sig about clutch buzzing. its just an annoyance. no effect on performanc.e

 

<~~~ still buzzin

 

had the buzz in my 03, and still get it in my 06 occasionally. like stated above, will not hurt anything, just gets annoying.
