Default S2K reference in Ebay listing

While browsing through Ebay, I saw this NSX for sale:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Acura-NSX-A...010837952QQrdZ1

Here's a quote from the description:

"You can buy a new Honda Civic for $30,000 or a Honda S-2000 for $37,000.

Why not be somebody and own an Acura NSX? Turn heads ! ! !"

...Amusing...

$37K for that? 93 NSX w/AT doubtful.

However it does have LOW miles, 18K miles in 14 years is about 24 miles/week. IMO that's not been driven enough, but some ppl I guess like low miles.

You can get a e46 M3 or C5 Z06 that's 10-12 years newer for that kind of money.

My reply to that guy:
There are no civics in America that cost 30,000$ and there is no s2000 that cost 37000K.

His reply:
Cool dude...stay in school.

The Honda dealer next to my house has those little civics or accords (whatever) starting at 27k and my old roomate bought an S-2000 for 36k. You get the point...or do I need to do the math for you. Chemical engineer/entrepreneur here.

I love those cars too but once you can afford a real car (after graduation), they are not so fun.

I'm not an expert on Honda cars...just looked at the sticker "sale" prices the other day.

Right back atcha,
Ben

what do you mean by "they are not so fun?" I guess any dealer can mark-up their cars, that is true, but new s2k's should be starting around $33K.
