2000 Honda S2000, Fabulous Shape, Runs Perfectly, Bought From Car Super Expert on 2040-cars
Landenberg, Pennsylvania, United States

You will never find an S2000 in this kind of shape for this kind of money. I was a serious biker and had eleven motorcycles in the past five years (!). In October 2013 I was hit and injured, bike totalled. I saw the writing on the wall and got this car as a present for myself for giving up riding, which had been such a major part of my life. I did a fair amount of research on a bunch of cars, including such diverse ones as the S2000, Mini Cooper, Miata, Corvettes, I can barely remember. With as contentious as posts and replies on web sites usually are, 100% of all the people who had the cars I was interested in said the Honda was the best and told why. I have never seen unanimity of response before or since.
I found a car nearby owned by a terrific fellow who had car businesses that built cars from scratch, built racers, fabricated carbon fiber parts, all kinds of great things. He was a lot of fun and was very honest and direct. I had never been in an S2000 before but off we went and made a deal. Among my reasons were that I wanted to buy from him, and, with his great knowledge, experience and judgment, he had been through the car inside out and had already done anything of any importance so that I had no concerns. If you were I you woulda bought it too. My seller got it from his friends who own a tow company. The owner of the car reportedly was a doctor at the local university. It was towed from somewhere and for whatever strange reason, something may have happened to him, but the owner never reclaimed it. Can you imagine, but they told us this happens all the time. Apparently there are plenty of folks out there with plenty of money and cars and they just let a car go if it seems more convenient to them to do so. There is a procedure in PA which takes time and considerable money but the tow company got a new title and assumed ownership. They fixed up whatever they saw was needed and then sold it to their friend, from whom I got it shortly thereafter, as he was looking to relocate a business and owned so many cars, including another S2000 he was taking apart and rebuilding. Hence, the clear PA title I have says "Formerly Abandoned." Curious but true. So off I went but what developed was that some of my bike injuries were more serious than we knew, including a fractured vertebra, and driving and enjoying this car just weren't gonna happen. I went only a couple hundred of miles total and put it into storage. I thought if my injuries improved enough I would keep the car, still think so, but oh well. If I get better I would get another one, which would certainly be much more expensive and perhaps not so trustworthy. If it doesn't sell, it'll just live here in the garage.. When I took the car to get washed, the fabric on the very back of the top, under the clear back window, ripped a little. The window itself is foggy, as they usually get after a while. If I were keeping the car, I would replace it with a plastic or glass window. For the moment, I just put a piece of tape on it. Since I'm selling it, you get to choose your window. I took $500 off the price to compensate you for the inconvenience. The car came with only one key, the kind with a chip that the car needs to recognize to start. I bought some spare non-OEM keys but they have to be cut and programmed, I also have an owner's manual. They are yours. I have a listing somewhere else and I have had a query from someone for whom this would be a first car. I told him this would be a very poor choice as it is a high performance street legal sports car and either wasted or dangerous unless you have some experience. I have bought many cars with 150,000 miles or more and have no regrets. Use Mobil One or equivalent on this one. It's really sad and annoying to sell this car that I got so into buying and really only drove a couple of hours. Oh well.. I am attaching copy from another listing... "Just got car, gone a couple hundred miles, but injuries from recent motorcycle accident get in the way. If they get better, I'm happy to keep her. Clean title, very good condition, body in great shape, paint looks new, it's the original Honda paint job. A crack on the corner of the rear bumper and three small scratches on the body. Interior is in incredible shape for the age and mileage on the car. Normal wear on the driver seat. Top original, well maintained. No leaks or tears except for one crack in rubber seal below rear window which needs repair. Car serviced on 9/11/13 and inspected. Entire car was looked over for anything that would possibly break at later date and everything was solid. Recent parts and services to make sure it was in excellent condition for you: Clutch master cylinder, battery, exhaust, coil pack all replaced W/ OEM Honda parts. Oil change and top off all fluids. 4 new Yokohama tires. Car has all original Honda Genuine parts, nothing aftermarket. 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 will play music stored on phone. The stereo sounds incredible even with the top down. A good amount of money has just gone into this car to make sure it is in perfect running condition so the new owner doesn't need to worry." Feel free to email me with any questions. I own two ebay accounts that at the moment have 11,597 100% positive current feedbacks, so I consider myself a pretty safe risk. Thank you and have fun. If you ride a motorcycle like I have, remember that there is so much you cannot control one bit. A woman did not see me at all and hit me. I was 21 feet from an intersection where I had stopped for a light in 6 PM weekday traffic. It was clear and dry. I was probably going about 5 mph. There was absolutely no warning nor lead time, nothing I could have done. I am extremely fortunate to be alive and not much more seriously injured. God spared me for some reason. So ride and be safe and oh so cautious for the unforeseeable. |

NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors
Wed, 22 Oct 2014
Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.
Automakers teaming with Google to bring Android to cars this year
Mon, 06 Jan 2014Remember how we mentioned that Hyundai would be offering a BlueLink infotainment app for Google Glass? And how last week, we told you about a rumored partnership between Audi and Google? Well, both of these things were just part of a much bigger deal.
Google has teamed up with Audi, General Motors, Hyundai and Honda to form the Open Automotive Alliance. With the help of chipmaker NVIDIA, the group aims to bring Google's Android operating system to the auto industry on a large scale. While the speed with which Android will be adopted by the industry remains unclear - the OAA's own press release says "timing for each automaker will vary" - we could see the first Android-equipped vehicle by year's end.
For those that keep their ear to the ground in the automotive tech world, this is a big deal for more than just one reason - Honda, GM and Hyundai are all partners in the Siri Eyes Free program from Apple. The future of that relationship now that three of its automakers are in bed with Apple's arch-rival, though, could be under threat.
Honda Civic Wagon Concept to debut at Geneva
Wed, 06 Feb 2013Honda is getting warmed up for the upcoming Geneva Motor Show, with a sketch of some very Euro-flavored forbidden fruit. Seen above (click on the image to see an expanded view) is the Honda Civic Wagon Concept Model - a rather tentative name for a car that Honda claims "provides strong cues for the exterior design of the final mass produced version."
The sketch seen here is obviously very stylized, but we think that if Honda can stay true to its sleek rounded forms and aggressive silhouette, the final product could be quite fetching. Note that this is an image handed out by Honda of Europe, for a European auto show - we have every expectation that that any production-ready Civic wagon will be a Europe-only deal. Sorry, guys.
Find Honda's brief press release below, which also includes news of the European debut of the updated NSX Concept we saw at January's Detroit Auto Show, along with a diesel-powered CR-V.
