00-01 difference between 02+ model s2000's

johnqt3 · 10-04-2004, 09:38 PM

Hey, im a newbie in the s2000 forums, im in the market in getting a s2000. I have been looking around and i see alot of 01's that are fairly cheap but then i see a post that says they wish it was an 02, or if it was an 02 they would jump all over it. What makes the 02+ models better then the old ones and which one would you prefer getting. My question is what is the difference between the 00-01 models compared to the 02+ models. If anyone can help and let me know it would be much appreciated. Also if anyone is also selling there s2k please also hit me up with your price, color, location, and mileage.

Thanks

if i'm not mistaken, the only difference is the glass rear window. everything else remains the same. I own a 2001, have no problem with it. Actually the blind spot is larger in the ones with the glass window over the plastic, but that's really not an issue when the tops down 99 percent of the time. I would rather have glass, but I don't care either way, I drive it topless. Majoe concern issues, make sure it was well loved. Don't go cheap when it comes to a car like this. Usually cheap means wrecked or ragged.... Hope I helped.

Other changes besides glass window:

Updated radio (few more watts) with separate tweeters, updated oil jet bolts, slightly different 3rd brake light (VERY slightly), center tunnel with fake leather instead of carpet.

OTHER THAN THE GLASS WINDOW. I BELIEVE THE 02-03 MODELS HAVE BETTER CLUTCHES. THEY ALSO HAVE DOOR TWEETERS FOR THE STEREO IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN.
