i'd think about selling the HT separately as that will widen your buyer audience. it's worth $2k+, but not to everybody, and it's not worth limiting your buyer audience by making them get it with the HT. or, sell it with a including HT and no HT price, where the difference is about or a little less than what you'd net selling the HT alone.

if you have time, i'd ask a bit high and stick to it for a few months. its spring--if your car is in great shape and you can wait, you'll probably get a premium for it.

After checking local pricing on craigslist, you should be able to ask 20-21k for your car alone, + 2-2.5k for hardtop.

Depends on the area. Here in the Portland Oregon area people are asking more for a lot less. I concur on selling the hard top seperate. You should get 2k for it alone easily.

Thanks for the replies guys. I was already thinking of selling the HT alone. Tekstar I need to start saving for a house now that the buying market is good, so the car will most likely go.

I'll still come to meets though

There is a 2003 GPW with same miles at Walnut Creek Honda asking 21,950....
i was able to get it to 21 OTD and the opinions I got here were that it's way too high.

The HT definitely makes it a better deal, but considering its private party vs. certified used at dealer........i dunno just something to consider.

P.S. The car looks clean!

I think the general price of s2000's are a bit higher being that we are in California. I always see s2000's so much cheaper out of state
