Unfortunately, you are reading misfortunes from people who DO NOT check the oil in their S2. The S2000 like any other car will run forever as long as you TAKE CARE of it! I have been hearing about people blowing up their s2000 and the dealership always tells them the same thing,"The car was running low on oil". We need to keep in mind that on any HIGH output engine you will BURN oil! Majority of S2000 owners do not use their cars as a daily driver so they often do not see this problem coming. I have a friend with a 2000 that has about 60k on it and has not yet had any problems(he drives like a nut too!) I would suggest buying one that has its maintenance records. There is no way to be sure what can happen in any case. In this case you might want to go with a newer S2000 if you are worried.

I hope this helps in your decision. Let me know if you need more information.
