Default Mileage

I know most hondas have a reputation of running for a LONG TIME... i was wondering since the s2000 is a newer car has the motor been tested over a long period of time and been able to withstand high mileage.. (i am new to honda's so for all i know the motor in the s2k has already been in previous car.. but i dont know..) i am looking at a few used s2000s some of which have around 70,000 miles on them... to high?

My wrx currently has 50000 and i would like to get a car that will not have any problems for the many years i will own it.

Also does anyone know the insurance rating on a s2k?? i know through my insurance company an 02 WRX is a 19 and a e36 BMW m3 is a 26 (Which was actaully rather surprising...) but anyone know where an s2000 would fall in?

Thank you

David

it's a honda thats all you really need to know. lol If you don't abuse the engine etc. and do regular maint. i'm sure in a few years we'll be seeing s2k's with 200k on them. A friend of mine has a 94 prelude with an h22 he's got 184k on it an she runs better then my 01 neon. my .02!

just call an insurance company because it is determined on so many things, especially location.
