Even Less

As you're well aware, not many Club Racer S2000s were built in total. Just 699, in fact. Thus, when you start breaking down colors, the numbers become even smaller. In the case of this Rio Yellow example we spotted at Bring a Trailer, just 140 were produced, in fact.

Scant Miles

Adding to the perceived value of this sweet ride is its scant 23k original miles, of which roughly 1,500 have been added by the seller over their four years of ownership.

Complete Set

Obviously, this CR has been well taken care of over the years. It also comes complete with a clean Carfax report, the original manuals, floor mats, a factory car cover.

Minor Flaws

The exterior of this immaculate ride presents nearly flawless, save for a tiny dent on the driver's side rocker panel and a scratch on the underside of the front bumper that's been touched up.

Replacement Parts

A few things have been replaced of late, including a new set of Nitto Motivo tires and brake rotors, though the car comes with the original latter parts for good measure.

Nicely Optioned

The interior of this CR looks very nice as well, which is a tall feat given the Alcantara materials and yellow accents. This particular car also comes with air conditioning and a radio, which are nice options.

Crossing the Border

This particular CR was sold new in the U.S. before moving to Canada in 2009. It's now located in North Dakota, yet it's still registered in Winnipeg, Manitoba, so it'll have to be re-imported back to the U.S. if the new buyer lives there.

Rare Opportunity

Regardless of those technicalities, we'd still jump on this rare ride. It looks incredibly clean inside, outside, and underneath.

Salt Free

Clearly, this CR has never seen a salty Canadian road in its lifetime. And maybe never even a track, where it would certainly thrive.

Sound Investment

Nice Club Racers are getting harder and harder to find. And since regular S2000s are skyrocketing in price, we imagine cars like this one will be following suit, perhaps to a larger degree.
