Default Future prices!

Hi all.
What is the general forecast of future prices? They seem to be creeping up steadily?
Looking to buy a nice clean S2000 and am starting to think I will need to do it sooner rather than later before I am priced out of the market.

General consensus is that the prices are rising slowly.

Will your s2k be worth nsx money in 10 to 20 years. Probably not.

I see older sporty cars becoming more popular due to the new car tax format.
A lot of people including myself would not be able to justify spending £1000 a year (by justifying I mean to the Mrs!!) to tax a decent car so older 'faster' cars will become more sought after imo

The Spring effect kicks in and there is noticeably a lot fewer S2000s advertised over the years but there are heaps more currently advertised now than over Winter. The prices will stabilise. It's only the prime examples that command money and are asking for good used Elise S2 money.

I've seen a couple of better-priced (for buyers) facelifts come on eBay in the last few days - not the usual £10K and upwards pricing that's been the norm lately

I think the second one is an EU import, was it not Cyprus that a few came over with the tan leather?

not suggesting this should put any one off, but I don't think it's a UK supplied car.

Thanks all, interesting to hear other peoples opinions. Its very tempting to buy the first one you see, I think waiting for the right one to come along will pay in the long run. I just need to find some patience!

Tan leather should put you off though.
