Here in Central Europe the S are defenetly too expensive. Importing from the States is not so cheap. The cars are cheap over there but you have to pay 25% of taxes.
So importing from the UK could be a interesting alternative.

then again, with the current strength of the Euro, this may no longer be the case.

Hi Integralux,
I think your best bet is to look in Germany.
Quite a number of people in the UK import from Europe because the cars are cheaper there, typically from Belgium or Holland. So the UK is really not the place to be looking.
Someone once told me that of the 700 S2000s in France, only around half of them were bought through Honda France, the rest imported from Germany because of the significant cost savings.
The differences may be less for second-hand cars than for new ones, but I am sure the differences are still there.
