    Cool Please help assess my S2000 purchase..

    Hey guys, I'm new to this forum and even newer to my S2000


    I bought my chariot 2 weeks ago for a pretty good price - $22,400.

    its a 2000 model but had only done 99,000kms.


















    The car is in amazing condition and apparently used to have a 3M sticker on the bonnet and boot.

    The car was originally from NSW, owned by a mature doctor. At the start of 2011, the car was at 96,000kms, when a very rich Chinese man from Melbourne purchased the car from the doctor and drove it to Melbourne - so 1,000kms. He then added a few modifications to the car and only used it for another 2,000kms (he also has an evo9, VW passat, and another car). He is leaving the country at the end of the year and is selling all of his cars before he goes (I confirmed he was actually selling and already sold his other cars).

    Modifications he added:

    BRAND NEW EXEDY CLUTCH, OEM FLYWHEEL (so still has clutch buzz)
    BRAND NEW SOFT TOP WITH REAR GLASS WINDOW
    BRAND NEW BREAK PADS

    port matched intake manifold
    oversized power throttle body
    intake manifold thermal gasket
    cusco oil catch can
    n power grounding kit
    Pivot raizin voltage stabilizer
    3 layer Aluminium radiator
    lowered on Tein S- Tech spring, returned to stock suspension 1 month before sale
    Cusco engine damper + Heat shield
    Hardrace drive shaft spacer
    brembo rotor slotted and drilled
    Goodridge brake line (very nice!)
    Oem Trunk spoiler
    pioneer 8850 head unit
    6" pioneer split system speaker
    pioneer 4ch power
    Kicker 12" subwoofer and amp under passenger seat
    customized rear tray for 12"
    customized center console with suede


    I then purchased the car from him at around 99,300kms.

    Now, after all the excitement has died down, I looked at the service history properly and I'm a little worried. According to Honda it had its 90,000km service in 2006!!

    The engine light recently came on but the error code was 6 long beeps, the useless airpump. voltage too high error and voltage too low error

    I just did a 100,000km service with Honda and it came back with no faults. They confirmed the engine codes and just reset my ECU. The engine light is back on but I'm more than happy with my car.

    Please tell me what you guys think. Its a lot of cash for me so I'm trying to justify my purchase
