Give it 18months, it'll be a bargain car and considerably depreciate.

Mate of mine is looking at leasing options in March for the '86, and whatever financing deals are avilable then.

I think, although its a very good creation, it'll be more enticing the older it gets in terms of value for money. Just like the S

Having an S when they first came out was, imo, a very cool experience. There was something *very* new about the S.

Not detracting from the current value aspect, but there was very little that looked like it, drove like it and revved like it those years ago. It might have cost a lot more, but I think it gave a lot more.

That's true.

Sometimes, one has to buy a car new, because there's nothing else at all like it around.

Also, there is the five-year warranty thing; the danger of buying a thrashed & trashed S2000 is all too familiar round these parts.

Swings and roundabouts; both S-nizen and Hachiroku are great on the latter.

I saw one on a car park outside of Crewe station. A Silverstone. That's when I was just about to get one and it looked like the future. Such an awesome car. Honda managed to whip up a bit of a frenzy (for me anyway) about its creation, the reasons for and what it represented.

I stopped my car and walked around the parked one and thought I have to get this.

That's your shiny thing mentality carp

I keep cars. Had the S since 02 . First drive in it for ages today though, just don't use it in the wet anymore though it will be my snow car if there's any

Saw a GT86 in black at baby jail yesterday. Nice.

Sky is blue, water is wet. Anything else you'd like to point out
The point of the car is very different to the S. The 15 minutes it takes me to get into work in the morning hasn't changed but the three or four times I hang the tail out certainly has. Wouldn't have dared take some of the liberties I do with it in the S
