I've decided to wait a little longer for a S2000 or see if a better FRS comes up...one priced at it's actual value and hopefully still under warranty.


Thanks for the input everyone!

I just googled FRS problems and I gotta say I'm a bit concerned now.
Could this be why there's so many 2013's for sale?

I thought it was mostly from the warranty expiring due to mileage.
