ahh, maybe not.. lol.. it was just a thought.. I start my new job at this honda dealership, so guess what? employee pricing~~!! hell yah~~!!

 

We got a 07 S2K at the dealership. I took it out for alittle bit, love the way it handles and accelerates.. gotta get it..

 

Well 04+ s2000's like the one you drove are alittle different from 00-03, Honda modified the suspension and bumped displacement from 2.0 to 2.2. That being said if I were buying an AP1 like what you are interested in I would buy a 03, honda retuned the ecu to gain more power through out the poweband even though they still peak at 240hp 00-02's have a conservative factory tuned ecu b/c honda didn't want to push the envolope in the early models. and like evolution said you get what you pay for. If your gonna buy one spend alittle more and buy one thats been taken car of. A good, well maintained 03' goes for 20-21k. And for the wrecked s2000 you would be stupid buying it might as well give your 5k away, one high miles, 2 salvage title(b/c a fender bender totals an s2k) 3, no telling what else is wrong and how it will drive after repair garuntee it wont handel like a s2000, 4, even though your dad owns a shop you can get into some cost rebuilding one. My .02

 

Nice guy... so, basically honda had a hold up on the earlier models on the power. so, even though there both 240hp the newer ones are faster. hmm, that's something to think about. Without a doubt, I will try to get a 03+ S2K. thank guy

 

A handful of the later 03s came with clutch delay h:

 

Easy to fix if you dislike and saves that diff... So no prob their.h:

 

Correct, since the S2000 was new production they were unsure about the capibilities of the motor so they tuned it conservativly to save thier ass in instance of a problem from a to radical tune once they figured that the f20 could take alittle more tuning they changed it in 03. Lots of 00-02 owners replace thier ecu's w/ the 03. So that could be an option as well. but if you can get your hands on an Ap2 (04+) go for it I love mine...
