penaj778 · 07-18-2008, 10:57 AM

Sup guys! ive been lurking several months here even before i got my s2000 and back in june i finally got the car of my dreams. ive been holding out for a s2000 deal i couldnt pass up for years and finally i got one. i purchased a silver 02 s2000 with 42k for $12500 clean clean clean not wrecked and all maintanence records. the pevious owner was a maintenance nut and changed the manual trans fluid and diff fluid every 15k miles!!

plain nut! but good for me. so yeah i hope to be a good contributor to the board since all the other s2000 forums are blocked from my work.

Welcome Penaj. It sounds like you found yourself at nice ride at a good price. A meticulous previous owner is sometimes better than a warranty. If you are new to Stewies and rear wheel drive especially, take it easy at first, or she will surprise you.

And now, go find the secret compartment.

s2000isu · 07-18-2008, 02:29 PM

Even after lurking and seeing how the "new" site is you still joined up. Poor guy. Well anyways welcome.

yes the car is in extremely good condition and other then a small stumble at idle (i believe it needs a fuel injector flush) it runs like a new one. ive driven a few s2000s already so im aware how they handle (the main reason i love the car so much). ive already found the secret compartment and when i did apparently the previous owner did not know it was there. it had an extra owners manual and several old cds and insurance cards.

Don't worry, who checks the sections anyway. Oh yeah, I did too when I was a noob. Now I just check the Main page everyday like it was the daily paper. Then I go to my profile and check My Posts for any counter-fire. I used to get the email alerts but I accidentally hit "Junk" instead of "Delete" and now I don't get the alerts anymore and don't know how to change it back. I guess I'm on a tangent....
Enjoy the new ride and keep the front end in front of the back end.

gomarlins3 · 07-18-2008, 04:55 PM

penaj778 · 07-18-2008, 08:44 PM

yes, other than a K&N short ram filter kit that was installed 3k miles before i purchased it, it is still a virgin and will be that way for a few months.
