High mile S2000's ???

Im looking at getting another S2000 and found one for cheap with 140,000 miles. It was driven by an older lady so the odds of it being driven hard should be less. Anyone know how these things do with higher miles or any reason why they shouldn't last as long as a civic with high mileage?

I would think it would be as you say. As long as it has been maintained and not driven hard, it should be in good shape.

I mean, it's engine is built for more performance than a Civic's but I haven't heard of any real problems with them that are out of the ordinary for a higher mileage engine.

Yea I read up a little more on S2ki and found the only stupid issue that the AP1's had was that the the retainers crack so people upgraded to AP2 retainers and keepers. Obviously it is a little bit of a pain, but even low mileage S2000's were known for the issue so its whatever I guess
