Default Need some help checking out a used S2000

Hey guys,

I'm seriously considering buying a used Silverstone MY00 S2000 (located in nova) and since I do not know much about common problems with the S2000 (clutch buzz, gear grind, diff - I have heard about these and maybe I'm missing some, but I'm just not sure "how" to check for these problems ), I was wondering if an S2KI member from the area could help me test drive and check out the car. I would most likely need help next weekend (10/20-10/22) or the weekend thereafter, but I'm rather flexible to the schedule of whoever can help out. I would greatly appreciate it and really owe it to the s2ki community. Please let me know, thank you so much!

Is it Infinity_Racer's? He's located in Woodbridge and I'd go check it out anytime.

I'm not sure but I believe the owner is not on s2ki, because I saw the ad elsewhere.

gfacter: I actually saw your for sale thread on this forum, and I would of bought your S in a heartbeat if it was the color combo I'm looking for (silver, black)

chris: I would appreciate it a lot.. the car is located near tysons corner.

I'm in the Tysons Corner area but if you want all that stuff checked out (differential, gearbox, etc.) better to arrange to have a shop look at it, don't you think? That's what I have always done when buying a used car and it hasn't failed me yet. IMO it's worth paying a little to save allot of headache later.

Just my .02.

Good luck!
