3 days left and up to $25k. Someone posted another AP1 but this one has 899 miles. I really think low mileage AP1s will fetch the most money as time moves on. On average newer S2k will of course fetch more money than older ones just like any other automobile model out there... But as time passes.... It will be examples like this 15-20 years from now that will be most wanted and price.....

Very cool opportunity to buy a near-showroom new S2000 15 years after it was made.

Let's see 899 miles at a1/4mile at a time is a lot of time at the drag. LOL

Seems odd to me that two owners would only ring up 899 miles in 15 years but would mod out the cold air intake and exhaust.

Prob has all the original fluids and all. Low mileage is a cool selling point but beat on it some and it might just fall apart but than again anyone buying this is gonna keep it garaged and low mileage anyways.

To me, why bother? I think you can still find many nice S2000s with more regular use, and thus healthier overall condition, for a lot less money. Shame someone owned that S and never drove it.

A few years back I was getting my 08 tinted. The guy also sold and collected high end cars and when he saw 1700 miles on mine, he tried really hard to buy it. I was offered 28k on the spot. As I left, he gave me a final offer of 30k. I was tempted because I picked this car up days before for 22k.

A couple of days passed, and he called me offering 33k! He said with the condition of the car, matching panels, and new car smell, he could either keep it or flip it himself a few years later for profit. I told him sorry the car would not be for sale under any condition and to stop making offers. Needless to say, I'm glad I didn't sell the car because it was my dream car and it still is :-)
