A sure way to kill a market is to flood it though.....

I don't see what the rush is to be honest, if they are shifting 200+ a month they should have their backlog moved in days.

Looks to me like they are over stocked and coming to the end of the season! (~50% of stock is S2000's!)

Or maybe they are getting out of S2000's after recent experiences

Either way only 65 posts before we close this

Just had PM from s2000-4u.co.uk

They must have read my thread on what deal should I be doing, they asked me to look at their 2 Moonrocks.

TBF I would rather judge for myself what a car dealer is like.

But a few weeks ago I was advised on here to contact them to see if they wanted my old 2001 S2000.

I got a sharp response of "sorry it's not for us" when I rang them.

Therefore 'I'm out'

I just bought my car privately, but its rear plate shows it is from the s20004u lot

I checked and double checked everything on mine when I bought it (being an ex-mechanic helps), and my car is pretty straight.

All the mileage is verified through full honda history (checked with local dealership) and all MOT's confirm mileage.

Car salesmen are stereotyped as being quite shady, just because they have a bad history, still wouldn't put me off buying the car that I want, providing I was given solace that the car was straight after all the thourough checks were carried out. If you are happy with the car and price, get it

Just did a search for something like 'keyfob' and this thread was one of the first search results.

I live in Winchester, and have for the past few weeks been looking for an S2000 (or a CTR), and I was pleased to see that there is a garage that specialise in S2000s nearby.

I went up to Four Marks and had a quick look round about 2 weeks ago. Some fella came over and asked me what I was after. I basically told him that I was looking to spend no more than
