2009 S2000 (Canadian)
Hey guys,
I'm looking to buy a 2009 S2000 that has been in Canada for the duration of it's life (never imported/exported).
I'm hoping I can find one with:
- relatively low kilometers
- as few owners as possible
- good condition
- never smoked in
- no accidents
- Apex Pearl Blue exterior (original paint)
Please let me know if you're interested in selling or if you know of someone who might be.
I'm based in Ontario but don't have any problem buying it from anywhere in Canada.
Thanks for your time and consideration!
**POST-EDIT**: (I think this is my only option for now to be able to communicate - I can't add replies or message anyone)
Thanks for the replies so far everyone!
I did indeed do some research on the model years/colour offerings. The ABP was offered in 2008/2009 as AE_Racer and HFreak confirmed. That's exactly what I'm banking on.
Hey Chuck S thank you for the insight - you're right in that it doesn't make a ton of sense for me to be mainly interested in Canadian specimens. A big part of the reason is simply that it seems to be the only way to get ABP in the standard model as opposed to CRs. Beyond that The dollar isn't doing to hot right now and it feels like it will be easier/simpler if I can find a good candidate within the Northern border. This sentiment might have to change depending on how my search goes.
AE-Racer/HFreak thanks for the information! I appreciate ANY and all help as I know this is a bit of a needle in the haystack I'm after. I might be game for a 2008 depending on the condition/mileage/previous owners.
HFreak do you know if any of those 3 are at all interested in selling? And are they the standard model, as opposed to the CR? I'm not really looking for a CR as it has no soft-top and frankly is going to be out of my price range due to the higher pedigree and rarity.
Again thank you so much everyone, you guys are awesome!

It will take more than good luck. 
Were there any "Canadian" cars (Canadian VIN) this color? The only MY2009 Apex Blue Pearl cars in the US are five (5) CR cars.
If you include MY2008 cars there are still only 200 APB cars and they're CRs too. Only 355 MY2009 cars were sold in the US. Canuck sales were always tiny in comparison. These were simply left over 2008s with some slick paperwork magically making them 2009s.
I go to Canada routinely and none of my cars have been damaged simply by crossing the border either way nor by spending any time in Canada. Surprised this would be an issue for you. (I'd frankly rather have an Arizona car!) But this point is moot as the chance of getting one with your criteria is nil.

2008, 2009 and 2010 Canadian calender year sales, only 135. Will be awesome if you can find one 
It would appear Canada did get ABP in 08-09, I assume they've done their research. https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/739...media-archive/

I know of 3 ABP within 4 hours of my home, I live in Eastern Ontario. There was an '08 in Toronto for sale recently if you wanted to broaden you search to other model years. Not sure which vintage the other two are.
