so, i'm thinking of possibly moving soon and getting a dog, and my girlfriend doesn't have a car which means i probably need to get rid of the S. also, i can't really go snowboarding or haul much of anything with the S...i didn't have this problem the past 2 years but now it might be time for me to say goodbye to this board.

i took it in to get appraised by Carmax...the tires need to be replaced in the next 1-2 months, tops. they gave me a pretty fair offer, given that car values dropped an additional ~10-15% since 2008.

i have entertained the idea of just paying cash for a beater civic from 2000-2004 and keeping the S, but i am kind of a minimalist when it comes to stuff like this...i don't like the idea of having 2 of something when i really only need 1.

i took a hard look at my driving over the past 6 months and i realized that i don't really need all of this power, nor do i get to take advantage of it ever, except for maybe merging onto the beltway. there are some good twisty roads out in VA but i rarely get the time to enjoy them in this roadster. if i do end up selling, i will seriously miss s2ki.com...i will also miss getting waves from fellow owners on the roads around DC.

 

you gotta do what is in your best interest.

 

dont do it youll regret it ......just buy a beater pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

I've done this 3 times. Sold AP1 for 07 Civic Si with Nav....Got bored, missed the S, got AP2. Loved it got bored, sold it for a CR. Needed more room and wanted CR to be garage/weekend car. Sucked it up and purcahsed used TSX with 30k miles for 16k. Love the TSX and love the CR even more than I ever did looking at in the garage and driving it when it's nice.

Taxes blow when you buy a car. Save yourself a few k in the long run and keep the S!

 

keep it and sell it later when its almost impossible to buy an S. After all its already a classic

 

There are plenty of people that don't own S2000s anymore and still hang out on s2ki.com....

 

If the S2000 doesn't meet your needs, sell the sucker and move on. As someone said, not everyone who hangs out on this forum owns an S2000.

 

dont do it.... hear me

01/09 i had an s2000 traded for a 2005 acura rl, traded that for 2003 cl types s 6 speed, traded that in for a 2003 m3, then traded that in for an 06 s2000 on 09/09

good thing sales taxes are tax deductible for 2009.

hear me, dont do it, get a second car

 

same happened to me, i had an ap1 and got bored needed more space bought a 2000 civic, a year later missed the car so much ended up getting an ap2

 

As Rick James would say "The S2000 is a helluva car." Keep your car and get a beater. I want a new car but for the price, I don't see anything I want other than the S2K. The cars I do want cost 2-4X more. I will probably never sell my car. I will sell the Fit though.
