s2000 prices
hey all,
it seems to me that at the moment, most s2k's are hovering around the 10k barrier. I dont know if it applies to these, but dont most cars drop considerably as soon as the 10k barrier is passed? If so any ideas when thats likely to happen? I guess the end of the summer...

(I'm not interested in CatDs and S2ks in excess of 90,000 miles.)

well yes, they are cat d's and some are 70-80k miles. saying that, most of those are around the 8k mark.
seems the s2k gets written off an awful lot!
but the point still stands - the elise was at this stage a few years ago, seemed stuck above 10k, as soon as it broke through prices collapsed...

Probably mine you're thinking of. To be fair seems that I got quite a good deal and they guy needed to sell as was emmigrating. However re the Elise, unless it's a very poor example you'd be hard pushed to find many under 8.5k, and most are around the 9k mark, not quite a collapse though

Its down te driver skill to keep it on the black stuff and too many do not have that skill. Hence the group 20 insurance due the high risk of an accident. An S2000 is more to insure than a STI PPP in my case. Great cars with great engines and gearbox and most powerful n/a engines in the world with 118bhp/litre. (excluding the rotary RX8's 1.3 with 231bhp iirc)

They are classed as 2.6 officially arent they?
RE S2000 prices - you get what you pay for as with most things. Wouldnt touch a CATD with anyones bargepole. Some of the damage to the chassis can be absolute mega bucks to fix, and it sometimes doesnt take much.
