Is there a Year to avoid on the S2k
I am just about to purchase my first S2k and I was wondering if there was a year to avoid... I searched for it but no luck because I didnt know what to type in the search, But I was just wondering what the changes each year were and if the 00 is one to avoid or if they all are the same other than back glass well except 04 but I wont be getting one of thoes

They've all got issues... but then again, so does every other make/model.
I'd suggest you just find a well maintained version, regardless of the year, and make sure all recall and TSB work has already been done.

I own a MY00 and everyone says that that's the year to avoid, however, I didn't really have any problems with my car. I say just get what you can afford, but if you can, get a MY01 if you want the 9000 RPM. That was before they put the cheesy silver accents on the car and messed up the rims by giving them a gold tent. They MY00 and MY01 rims have a straight 100% silver color while the MY02's and MY03's have a goldish tent to them.

the bronze tint on the wheels aren't that noticable and i happen to like the silver accents, looks better than straight black.
but who cares about appearance. the most important thing is that the mid02-03 f20c's got the new 4-hole oil jet bolts.
just my 2 cents.

I have an '00 and it's been good to me. I got it new and wouldn't think of parting with it. If I were buying a used one now I'd get the '02 or later. You get the glass window, clock, and other minor upgrades and fixes that go along with getting a new model a few years into it's run.
