Purchasing an S2000

[davidd]

Hi Guys,

I'm selling my supercharged DC5r, and moving into the world of convertibles. Is there anything I should look out for when buying an s2000.

I'm looking for low k's, 03+ black, with red leather. Anything in particular I should look out for ?

Cheers

i would just get it checked out by your machanic...

Of course... Also I would also get a compression test done and so on... but is there anything in particular I should look out for with this model ?

when purchasing 03 model theres not much to look for as all the flaws of the earlier model have been fixed. ie the clutch buzz, crappy plastic window and master cylinder problem.

whats wrong with the master cylinder?

was told by someone a while ago that it usually gets replaced around the 40000km as their is a glitch with it...but then again could be bs.

try to find the models with glass rear window... makes a big difference

amen to the glass window.

and just get the g/box checked out proper. some make a wack noise when you back off throttle. def from gearbox as well.

heard the same thing here but early models, i think 03+ comes with the glass rear window so it shouldnt be a problem

02+ is glass window... and I'll definetly look out for any gear box and master cylinder troubles

cheers guys

the noise is from the clutch wear plate.

Just speaking to a friend of mine who owns an S2k, and supposedly they tracked it down to being the springs on the clutch disk not being up to scratch
