2000 Honda S2000 Bought From Professional Car Guru, 150k, Great Shape on 2040-cars
Landenberg, Pennsylvania, United States
I have been a serious motorcycle rider for the past five years - had eleven bikes, training from the top US school, spent thousands of hours and dollars at it. Had accident, said to myself, enough. Thought to treat myself to a sports car. Considered a few - S2000, Miata, Mini Cooper among others. Research of many forums, user groups, web sites, friends who had them all, dealers I know, 100% said to get the S2000. Without exception. Startling response. Never had such a one-sided response ever. Found a great car nearby from a terrific honest young guy who owns custom car businesses, fabricates carbon fiber body parts, builds cars from scratch, has a couple S2000s. He got this one from his buddy who owns tow lots. Car had been towed. Wealthy owner let it set. His buddy put in what money, repairs, upgrades would be of value. Owner still unresponding. Buddies went through expensive process to get new title and take possession. My title thus says "formerly abandoned." My seller bought it from him, replaced and went through everything as the below text says. I loved him and the car, took it home. Long story short, the car may be not a fit for my back nor my wife's so after less than two weeks, out it goes. Bought it 11/18/13. With permission I copy and insert my seller's ad text and photos. I completely reserve the right and prerogative to change my mind and keep it or to sell it locally off ebay. I own two other ebay accounts that at the moment have 8679 100% positive feedbacks in the past half year so I would consider myself a pretty safe seller. Please feel free to ask me any questions. To find a buyer and a car like this is a rare treat. I didn't want to hurt his feelings because I was selling it, and he had treated me great. He was very kind about it all. This parenthetical story may be of no value to you but to me it shows the context of this car and its value to me.
"This is a 4 owner car with a clean title. The car is in very good condition. The body is in great shape. The paint looks new and is the original Honda paint job. There is a crack on the corner of the rear bumper and three small scratches on the body. The interior is in incredible shape for the age and mileage on the car. There is normal wear on the driver seat. The top is original and was well maintained. No leaks or tears in top. Car was recently serviced on 9/11/13 and inspected. I had the entire car looked over for anything that would possibly break at later date and everything was solid. All of the owners of this car really took care of it. Here is a list of parts and services I had performed on the vehicle to make sure it was in excellent condition for whoever buys the car: Clutch master cylinder replaced W/ OEM Honda parts Battery replaced W/ OEM Honda battery Exhaust replaced W/ OEM Honda exhaust Coil pack replaced W/ OEM Honda part oil change and top off all fluids 4 new Yokohama tires. This car has all original Honda Genuine parts on it. Nothing was replaced with aftermarket replacement parts. Upgrades: Elbrus lightweight aluminum wheels Injen Cold Air Intake Alpine Cd Player w/ USB and Aux port for smart phones and Pandora control Bluetooth Hands-free calling Bluetooth Audio - smartphone automatically syncs with radio when car is started and starts playing you music stored on your phone ***The stereo sounds incredible even with the top down*** I love this car and really don't want to part with it, but I am making a career change and need to let it go. I have put a good amount of money into this car to make sure it is in perfect running condition so the new owner doesn't need to worry about anything." |

Honda asking used-car buyers to sign liability document [w/poll]
Thu, 31 Jul 2014
New cars under recall must be repaired before a dealer can sell them but used cars are under no such mandate.
When it comes to informing the car-buying public about potential safety hazards on used vehicles, there are two emerging schools of thought among used-car dealers.
Consumer Reports' first motorcycle reliability report finds Japanese brands ahead
Sat, 22 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has released its first ever study of motorcycle reliability, and students of its ratings on cars might notice a suspicious similarity - Japanese brands require fewer repairs than the leading American or German brands.
The study analyzed the reliability of 4,680 bikes owned by CR subscribers and found that Yamaha had the best ratings, with just one in ten bikes built between 2009 and 2012 requiring a repair over a four-year period. The makers of the R1 and R6 sport bikes were closely followed by Kawasaki and Honda, while one out of every four of the rumbling bikes from Harley-Davidson experienced an issue. BMW had the worst rating of the brands represented, with one in three bikes having problems.
According to CR, neither Suzuki nor Triumph owners provided enough information for a reliable rating. Based on the responses received, though, Suzuki would have finished with the other Japanese brands and Triumph, being English, would have been one of the less reliable makes.
Honda planning sub-NSX S2000 successor
Tue, 13 May 2014Nine years separated the arrival of the original Acura NSX and the Honda S2000. By that time, the NSX was closer to the end of its fifteen-year production cycle than it was to its beginning. The latest word has it that not only is Honda planning a successor to the S2000, but it's not about to wait that long after the new NSX arrives before it's rolled out.
While the S2000 was a front-mid-engined roadster, its successor will, according to the latest from Auto Express (which we are taking with a grain of salt), be a mid-engined coupe - closer, in other words, to the NSX than the S2000. Power would come from a more potent version of the 2.0-liter turbo four developed for the upcoming new Civic Type R, possibly as part of a hybrid system derived from Honda's upcoming Formula One powertain to develop over 400 horsepower.
Whether the new sports car would revive the S2000 nameplate, and whether it would wear the Honda or Acura badge in the United States, remain to be seen. As does its potential production site: while the previous S2000 was built at the same Takanezawa plant in Tochigi as the original NSX, the new NSX will be built at the new Performance Manufacturing Center in Marysville, Ohio. The new S660 roadster, meanwhile, is set to be assembled at the same Yachiyo plant in Yokkaichi as the original Honda Beat.
