I'm looking to buy a 2004 Honda S2000. My Budget is around £9000. What should I look out for?

Engines were fairly bomb-proof despite the revs they are capable of, but this is a 13 year old car so it could be wearing out. Check the steering. On the early S2000, it's over-light with no feel at all and very unsportscar-like compared to an MX-5. More: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/honda/s2000-1999/
