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." |

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
Five automakers now being investigated by NHTSA for airbag woes
Thu, 12 Jun 2014It appears that Toyota's renotification to owners of recalled vehicles from last year is just the tip of the iceberg for what could potentially be a much larger industry-wide recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation investigation into roughly 1.1 million vehicles from Chrysler, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Toyota and parts supplier Takata regarding faulty airbag inflators in several models.
NHTSA has received six reports - three directly, two from Takata and one from Toyota - of vehicles with ruptured airbag inflators from 2002-2006, which resulted in three injuries. So far, all six incidents have occurred in high humidity areas like Florida and Puerto Rico. According to Toyota's latest recall announcement, the inflators may have an improper propellant that could cause it to rupture in a crash and the bag to deploy abnormally.
This new investigation follows a previous recall from April 2013 of about 3.4 million vehicles worldwide for the airbag inflators from Takata. As Autoblog reported, Toyota jumpstarted the new situation when it found that the original list of serial numbers for the faulty part was incomplete and discovered more cars in need of replacement. Honda and Nissan told us that they were investigating whether further models would need called in again as well. Mazda told Autoblog: "Regarding the current Takata situation, we're working closely with NHTSA and investigating the situation, but nothing else to report at this time." Chrysler Group responded to us with the statement: "Chrysler Group engineers are conducting the appropriate analysis. The Company will cooperate fully with the National Highway Traffic Administration."
