Going to buy one, Need some advice

[morrie]

Is there a significant reliability difference between the cars prior to 04 and the later versions?

I have driven an 04 and 05 and like them. Are they more popular than the earlier and thus cheaper cars?

Other than the usual, what are some things to look for in the S2000? I'm looking at a very nice 04 with 14,000 miles that I think I can get tfor under 25K

Am I right in assuming that these cars hold their value well?

Thanks.

No.

That it ain't been rendered potentially unreliable by an abusive previous owner (either by off-road excursions or unwise or unsafe mechanical alteration).
Yes.
Good luck. (check similar topics)
