Use to be only like 1-2 being sold on here now there's like 10-12...
Is it because the weathers nicer?
Not in the market for one but I'm just amazed how 6-7-8 year old cars fetch such a premium. There's a few US importer flippers though but the S2000 fad is over. This is coming from someone who used to have a raging hard on for this car. :rofl:

[Jgresch]

Because the world is gonna end in 2012. Cool post bro.

[obselete]

S2000s were only cool for a bit. Too many around now, and they are so affordable that anyone can buy one.

[Jgresch]

And now for a serious post. If you judge the price of a vehicle by how old it is, you fail at buying cars.

Would you shit your pants if I showed you how much a 6-7-8 year old ferrari sells for?

They "fetch" such a premium because they are in demand, and well made vehicles that hold their value well.

If you don't like it (Which you stated you didn't) then dont buy one.

11 of your 38 posts have been failed - quite an impressive stat.

[!Yaminashi]

People want change? Their priorities change? Maybe they have families and need more space? Duurrr

[shenmecar]

DURP.

[jpark]

maybe they want to switch something with back seats to have fun with there girlfriends, omg so many s2000 for sale, its not really a big deal dude..

[TOS'd]

The main reason for having so many S2000's on sale now is that no one wants to own one anymore since Larry Chu has a baby blue one.

[Jgresch]

SUZUKA BLUE!!!

[Energy]

People change their needs and priorities as they move on in life.

Might have a family or need to get a house or moved downtown so takes public transit or upgraded cars?

For whatever reason it gives more people a chance to enjoy a very good car.

Problem is douchebags like the one mentioned above will give S2000's a bad name.

OP just sounds a bit bitter because for whatever reason he can't get one himself. this reminds me of a quote: "water water everywhere and not a drop to drink."

and yes the douchy mcdouche mentioned above has certainly made quite the impact on the S2000 scene. for the negetive of course, but impressive none the less.

lmao "its not baby blue.... ITS FREAKEN SUZUKA BLUE!!@#!@!" - Larry Chu

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

what kind of retarded question is this?

pretty ignorant question

:rolleyes:

[twitchyzero]

a 5 year old japanese roadster that retains ~50% of its MSRP as resale value is a premium?

[Death2Theft]

How well does a bmw roadster of that year retain it's value?

[BlackZRoadster]

a 5 year old japanese roadster that retains ~50% of its MSRP as resale value is a premium?

not even 50%, when i bought my s2k in 2001 brand new it was 49K plus tax if i recall.

S2k's for 2001 are selling about 13k now?? i dunno havent looked, so its selling for about 25-30% of what it once cost

[Energy]

^ Hard to find one in good condition locally for that price. It will usually have many accidents, dents/dings, tears on convertible top, and really high kms.

[dinamix]

gas guzzzlers..they take high octane

[BlackZRoadster]

^ 91 is perfectly fine, and they were'nt bad on gas, unless u constantly VTAK-ed it

[keifun]

I assume people's priorities changed in life.. they get married, have kids, need to carry crap. The S2000 just can't do that, they're probably selling it and getting a civic :p

[mqr03]

S2000s were only cool for a bit. Too many around now, and they are so affordable that anyone can buy one.

Totally agree with you. I think you hit the nail on the head with this.

[Energy]

How can there be too many now? If anything there are less S2000's on the road.

Think about it, they stopped producing it so there are no more new ones. Its getting a bit more affordable so people with no talent buy them and then wreck them. There are no more new ones to replace the one's being written off.

And people who buy an S2000 just because they think its cool... well those are the ones wrecking them :D

Ok that might be a little extreme but you get the point.

[1exotic]

6-7-8 yo car is nothing.

Go check the price EVEN in the US on Supra, NSX, etc... they are still selling for 30k + for a decent one.

[CP.AR]

The S2k is a 2 seated coupe, 2 doors are not good once you grown out of them and get a family or have other obligations in life. I was seriously considering trading my TL for one here on RS (the white one that JDMStylo had posted up). But after thinking about how much I use my trunk and the rear seats, I decided to keep my TL.

Oh yeah, and after a while, who dosen't want a change?

[SumAznGuy]

The S2k is a 2 door coupe

QFT.

[CP.AR]

sorry meant 2 seated

i was thinking about AP2 since OP brought up 5-7 years...but i think clean ap1's still go for a good 17-20k?

[Energy]

Yup, 13,000 would most likely be a rebuilt title.

[flagella]

So what do you drive bro?

[obselete]

So what do you drive bro?

You sound upset bro, do you drive an S2000?

[The_AK]

You sound upset bro, do you drive an S2000?

No way bro, he sounds curious.

[TRD Rs200]

why do you give a shit?

[BMW135i]

S2k is fine . Fun to drive and affordable. What else do you expect for price value as it is nowadays. Stop crying and move on your life.

[ivys2k]

^ i agree i am on my second s2k. I cant get over it because its too fun to drive.

[DavidNguyen]

^ no way man. RSX way better mann.
