HONDA S2000 16V 2003

S2000

Time a let go of my pride and joy. Due to a growing family I now look forward to the joys of owning an estate (therefore, will consider a BMW 3 series Touring or Audi estate). Nothing has been spared on getting the car right and maintained. Current mileage is 107k - I have maintained a regimented schedule with changing oil/filter every 6months or 3.5k miles as I occasionally drive it to work and back. Also note a hardtop is also included.Correction the mileage is 109000.

Labour to do a lot of the above work was at a minimum £2,000.

The car is now one of the most reliable and well setup S2000's fast road use S2000 in the UK. It has been updated & improved in every manor without spoiling it for road use. Anything that would cause an issue due to age or wear & tear has been replaced with uprated or OEM parts. The extensive suspension work in getting right the Suspension Ride heights, Rake front to rear, the overall balance, all of which having differing effects during braking, turn in and lift off have been addressed. The dynamic toe /snap oversteer issue which all S2000's suffer from especially pre 2004 have been extensively worked on and completely resolved now in its perfect current setup. I am happy to spend hours discussing how this was achieved by changing the roll stiffness and ARB's on the car! Yes you could find some S2000's for between £7k to £8K but these cars being almost two decades old will require thousands to keep them road worthy due to age & wear & tear. As just one example: trying to get one of those cars aligned will be impossible with worn, seized bushes and getting all the double wishbone bushes and camber / castor bolts replaced is almost a £700 job including labour. Replacing Shocks, Exhausts, Clutches, Brakes etc which will all need to be replaced due to age and the costs soon add up,- as I have experienced and already done. The cost of just the Exhaust system, Coilovers suspension & wheels fitted -alone was over £2,000. In those terms, this car is quite a bargain as a cheap unloved S2000 will undoubtedly rack up costs sooner than you may think.

Bad bits: This is a 16 year car so there are obviously various small scratches here are there on the bodywork but most of these can be machine polished out if desired. There are several small stone chips on bumper and front bonnet and the leather bolsters on both seats show signs of wear. The engine rocker has a little paint flaking - is on the firmer side compared to OEM.
