2004 Honda S2000 — 50,000-mile ownership report: what actually broke?

ProjectNomad264Community StarterMar 22, 20262004 Honda S2000Orange County
2004 Honda S2000, about 92,500 miles. I just crossed 50k miles and want to log maintenance, unscheduled repairs, tire life, fuel economy, dealer visits, annoyances and whether I would buy the same car again. I am in Orange County.

The trap is a pretty payment hiding a worse car price. In Orange County, insurance quotes flipped a 2004 Honda S2000 comparison for me more than the sale price did. Then the comparison gets honest. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. Going to compare one more dealer before I decide.

Compare apples to apples or you'll get spun. Ask for out-the-door on the 2004 Honda S2000 with fees, add-ons, and rate on separate lines. Do that before you talk monthly again. Any freeze-frame data saved? Might be overthinking it, but I'd rather overthink than overspend.
