Hello, my name is Harry and I am new to this forum. I just sold my toy '82 Toyota Starlet and now am in search of my new toy.

I am seriously thinking about buying a '06 Honda S2000 at a dealer with about 35k miles...the car looks and rides great! The CARFAX looks clean except one thing....it states:

Manufacturer Safety, Emission or
Non-compliance recall issued
Recall # Q17

Is this a show stopper? I would like to inquire here in the forums to see who could give me some advice...so I could prepared to discuss with the dealer on Monday.

Any advise would be great!

Thanks,
vaya_broki

I think you will be happy with a S2000 if you are coming from a Toyota Starlet.
