Buying Tips for the Honda S2000

  • Check the oil level before and after the drive; a careful owner will know these engines use oil and keep it between the marks.
  • Inspect arches, sills, chassis rails and subframes on a ramp because UK S2000 rust is often much worse underneath than it looks from above.
  • Try the roof several times and check for damp carpets or a tired rear screen on earlier cars.
