Got an '02 Berlina with 14k miles in early '06 and wife made me sell it in late '08 at 40k miles to buy a house.

Should have kept the car and gotten rid of the wife.

If anyone knows of somone with an '02 or '03 Berlina with under 80K miles in great condition and unmodded send me a message. We might be able to work out a trade....my wife cooks pretty good and can keep a house clean. ;P

NEVER SELL YOUR S! (Possible exception is to buy a Lotus Elise.)

I have my 2001 S2000 and recently got a 2006 civic Si for daily. I was looking for a 4 door but found this 2006 civic Si coupe with 3,800 miles!! Now I have two grate cars and only pay a little for one. The S is pay off and on the civic I did put a 07 trade in and only finance a small amount. I could not be happier.

After all the work that got me the S and don't think that I will sell it never. I don't have the money for a Porsche 911. So the S will stay for me forever.

Yup. Sold my AP1 S and got a AMG benz. Sure, power was great but the feel and handling is not there. At all. Sold the benz and got an AP2

Bought my wife a 2010 V6 TSX, and while I love that car, there is still no comparison (just more torque) to my S. I'd rather take the S anyday.

I traded my fully loaded 05 Aspec 6spd TSX for a s2000 with someone from this forum during the fall and I only drove it for about 2 months before storing it over the winter. Even though the TSX is a better DD, it doesn't put a smile on my face like the s2k does. I barely even got a chance to drive the s2k. Damn Im itching for the warm weather already!!

Talk about love.

Never sell your S2000.


Ouch how much did they mark up your own car to you? lol. Sucks! Glad your back in an S though.

I have thought about this many times (esp over winter when the car is stored), but when spring comes along and I get to drive it again, it feels like a new car in so many ways. My dd is an older Acura sedan (see sig) and it is a good complement to the S. I would suggest getting a cheaper/luxurious dd (older Japanese high end sedan with auto, because an Acura is made with better interior than an Accord as an example) to make the S feel even more different when you drive it. Don't sell it, you will really miss it!

Do, what I did, pay off the S first, that way you will never feel the push to sell it.

I was driving CL9 TSX last year before I got my S2K. The only thing I miss the TSX is the 5 seats and the practicality. The engine and chassis is no match compare to S2K.

Can't wait for spring to come again!
