Hi i want to buy a honda s2000 its going to be my first honda s2000 i found one that looks interesting wanted to know what you guys think about. the car is going to be inspected for sure at a garage
the car is :

Honda s2000 ap1
Year: 2000
155000 KM
Color : silver
Clean title
Price : 12000$

 

That's not a lot of information what so ever on the vehicle. I'm not sure what the equivalent where you are (I assume Italy based on your name?) but in the US we have Kelly Blue Book (KBB), NADA, etc to get price guides for cars.

We also have CarFax which is a vehicle history report.

If you are interested in it, I'd recommend having it looked at by a trusted mechanic.

I'd also refer to this thread -

What to look for when buying a used S2000 - S2KI Honda S2000 Forums

And this one -

-Official- Is this car worth it thread - vol. 2 - S2KI Honda S2000 Forums

Then there's also this European section of S2ki that would be good -

European S2000 Owners - S2KI Honda S2000 Forums

 

Im from canada the only thing im scared of it the KM for sure im gona get the carfax before buying it but is it a good price for that range of KM , the only thing i dont want is the engine to blow after buying it but it, shouldnt happen if it got inspected good

 

That's only ~96k miles on a MY00.

That car is ~14 years old. That works out to under 7k miles a year. That car really wasn't driven at all. There are plenty of people with higher (100k+) miles on their S2000 - myself included.

 

Unless you get complete maintenance records with the car or they show on the Carfax assume the previous owners did no maintenance on the car.

All the lubricants should be changed: engine, transmission, differential, clutch, and brakes. Valves should be adjusted. All the filters should be changed including the heater intake filter under the panel under the hood next to the windshield

Car will probably need new tires.

Hell, I wish my 06 had 96k lol. Since it's an AP1 you might also want to see about upgrading the valve retainers.

 

just bought my s2000.

ap2, had 26xxx miles on it. has 32xxx miles now.

u wont regret it.

 

S2000 is a nice car. If its your first one just take it easy. I learned the hard way and fish tailed and crashed mine the first week i had it. Fun car to drive just get use to it first before you start pushing yourself.
