Hey, guys!


I'm a 20 years old male from Norway & I desperately want a Honda S2000!
I'm currently working my ass off to be able to afford one as soon as possible. With my lousy pay of only $5000 a month, it won't be before early next year.

Though, I'm up against quite the dilemma; debating whether to get the AP1 or the AP2.
There's a huge price differential as I can get an 03 AP1 for about $60 000 and an 07 AP2 for $85 000. Damn expensive to live in this country!
Any opinions/suggestions?

I will update regurlarly on my quest to get this beautiful dream car!

Thanks in advance!


-Legendary.

Raymo19: I would've own several S2000's already if I lived in the states:--D! If I lived in the US I would get an awesome S2000 for $30 000,- here I can barely get a Kia Picanto for that price!

AquilaEagle: That's the plan. I can get a fairly new S2000 for $30 000 in Germany, but the damn expenses/taxes the government requires for a sportscar like the S2000 is laughably steep! The total I'll have to pay to get an 07 S2000 fully licensed to drive on the roads in Norway is about; $85 000,-.


Saved up about $20 000,- already, so I'm getting closer to get my dream car!

Just got my paycheck of $5000!

If I continue to live on beans & water, I'll afford the S2000 late this very year!

Hehe, new tax laws starting next year - which will make it even more expensive!

A pretty new Lamborghini Gallardo will cost you 3,6 million norwegian kroner, roughly $660 000
And a new Ferrari 599 is $830 000!
