Default Looking for my first.

Hi, I have been wanting an S2000 for a while but just found your forum.

I'm wondering, where should I look other than Craigslist or autotrader?

I'm not sure what vintage(s) might be better or worse or have certain advantages. Is there anything important I should be aware of?

I would prefer to get the suzuku blue (for my better half) and wonder if re-painting is a realistic option? I did look at one in Dublin a while back that was really scratched, so I've considered just getting a cheap-ish one and getting it painted. Is '06 the last model year for that color?

I've been hoping to get a warranty, but does it matter? What is the repair record like?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I was looking at SB @San Rafael Mitsubishi..

better worry about getting non modded car in decent shape than warranty.. imo

We found autotrader to work well. You can setup alerts. There's some good info on what to look for and common problems.

06+ allows for flashpro and has vsa.
