Default Six year old S2000

According to the sticker on the driver's side door frame, my S2000 was manufactured in 6/99, so it is now six years old. I did not, however, purchase it until November, 1999.

Its current mileage is slightly more than 54,000 miles.

Here is my maintenance log: http://s2000.home.att.net/s2000/main...e_expenses.htm

Well, the first year a car goes on sale, they always cost a lot, simply because of the initial demand.

You could argue that he got a good deal. There were people that paid $10k over MSRP to have the S the first year it came out.

1. In November 1999, the price of an S2000 was non-negotiable.
2. Most Honda dealers did not actually have an S2000 in stock, and they had a waiting list for whenever one came in.
3. I was lucky to get one at all, and mine has a low serial number (and a plastic rear window) as well.
4. I still rarely see one like mine, and I have no regrets at all.

1. Most frequent cause of "check-engine" light going on is a loose gas cap.
2. Where I live, there is no "self-service" gas.
3. Tightening the gas cap will not turn the light off.
4. The "check engine" light is different from the "maintenance required" light.
5. $40 = 1/2 hour labor.
Yes I know, but I've been many times to Autozone, they reset it for free...

All you need is an OBD II Sensor... it takes 30 seconds to plug it in and reset. You got jipped.
