Greetings all,

I am new to this forum and the Honda S2000 world at large.

I am currently in the middle of a purchase decision and hope you guys can help me out with it.

Carmax has two S2000s I am interested in:

(a) Silver with black interior 2001 with 65k miles on it.
(b) Blue with blue interior 2003 with 23k miles on it.

At first glance the obvious choice is (b) newer with lower miles etc. The issue is (b) is USD$2000 more and honestly that extra is a bit of a stretch for me.

I know Honda's are famous for their reliability and VTEC engines are pretty bulletproof. That being said, I am calling on your expertise to assist me with this.

Is (a) going to cause me major problems out of the gate (electrics failure, major replace parts needed soon, plastic rear window a pain in the ass, etc.?)

Does 2003 have major improvements over 2001 that are a big deal? ex. the rear glass w/ defroster over the pastic one
Cheers lads,

Blair
