Buying the 2000 Honda S2000
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2000 Honda S2000 for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. For anyone shopping for the 2000 Honda S2000, here are the facts that matter.
Before you sign for the S2000
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
The figures, translated
The 2.0L 4-cylinder is what moves it, with rear-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
By the EPA's combined rating of 11.8 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 35 litres. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $20.65, and a 300 km weekend about $61.95. The EPA estimates US$4,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the S2000
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a summer weekend or a special occasion more than a move.
Living with the S2000
As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.
A longer test drive
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A week with the S2000 answers more than any brochure. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Narrowing it down
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
The cost of driving it
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $20.65 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $206.50 at our price setting. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.
Next step
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
Rent it for a week before you buy
