Default 2004 with 750 miles, yes 750 miles

Hello all.
There is an auction here for an estate and it has a 2004 S2000 with 750 miles. An older guy bought it and basically stored it in his garage without driving it.
He died and his stuff is being auctioned off.
The car was taken to a dealer and is running perfect. New tires were installed.
I am interested in this car and would like any opinions as to its value and what its future worth might be if the miles were kept low.
The condition is showroom. No hardtop, just a ragtop.
I don't know a thing about these cars and am trying to learn.
Thanks.
I would also be interested in the price when new. (ballpark price)

New they were around $35k. With a car like this the value is entirely up in the air due to two main reasons:

1) It takes a very specific buyer to want to buy something like this and as we all know, something is only worth what another person is willing to pay for it

2) Concerns over whether or not the vehicle was properly maintained. If the car wasn't started *and* driven regularly then it will be in worse mechanical condition than a similar car with 7500 or even 30,000 miles.

The color of the car was not mentioned. This can make a big difference. If it's white then consider it worth another $2-3k more than otherwise.

The color is silverstone. The Honda dealer gave it a good bill of health if that means anything.

I imagine it would sell easily to an enthusiast for 25k, but then again, at that cost you can get a much newer model as well.
Hit or miss on how long you wanna hold on to it for a person to shell out

An absolute steal imo would be anything under $22k. I would pay probably $25k+ if i was in the market for an S2000 and had the money to spend on it.

I'd pay 25K if it was repaint free and the rims aren't damaged at all during the re-tire...

I didn't look at the rims but the paint is showroom.
So is the top.
