yea i got it like 3 and a half weeks ago. it juist doesnt do anything for me. brakes in my opinion suck, handeling is just not there, tranny is decent, clutch sucks, o and power well i just havent felt any yet even taching it to 9k it still feels weak, plus i feel like the trannys gonna blow when shifting at 9k.


NOT LOOKING TO START PROBLEMS THIS IS JUST MY FEELINGS ON THE CAR

Probably $1k to $2k less than what you paid. Most likely on the higher end of that estimate.

Doubt it, since one can now get MSRP for a new one if he/she shops around. But if you find a impulsive/desperate buyer, you might get it.

In NJ? I doubt it, unless you find a very uneducated buyer. I talked to 2 guys on the New Hope run that purchased their's from Open Road Honda for that price and that included the Hardtop option. Remember you can't include tax into the equation. So if you paid 36k with tax included you can't expect someone to pay that much because when they buy the car used from you they will still have to pay the tax when they register it under their name.

TTSUPRA,

I am sooooooo sorry you and the S2000 did not get along.

Unfortunately, the folks on this thread are right. It's a good news bad news story. If you had a more conventional, more popular car, you would be SOL by a lot of $$$. So the good news is that RELATIVELY, you're not out a lot of money (what's a lot? right?). The bad news is that you are sure to lose some ($1-3K is a safe bet).

I would list it at AutoTrader for $1K below MSRP (i.e. $31,500) and hope for the best (i.e. be prepared to go down as much as $29,500). Expecting more would only cause it to sit in your garage nagging at you. I think realistically the only way you can move it near that price is if you had someone who is hell bent on getting a S2000 like NOW. Not sure if the color is going to work for you or against you in NJ.

I'm sorry again that you two didn't jive. Hey, stranger things have happened, Dennis Rodman and Carmen Electra were married for less than 24 hours, right?

Just out of curisousity... what is it about the handling you don't like? That's the first time I've ever heard anyone speak about the handling... brakes... or tranny in a negative manner.
