Default Thinking of selling the S2000....

I've got a 2002 with 62k miles. Bought just a few months ago. Got just a few mods. Hopup racing brand dual exhaust (will include stock), Berk TP, subwoofer box (cut for 12") that fits in the tool well (sub & amp not included), and upper strut bar. I've also bought stuff to make an oil catch can and the axle nuts to retorque. Haven't had a chance to do those projects yet though. I'm gonna be changing jobs within the dealership and making a little less money to start out. That and I hate having a car payment. I don't make a huge amount of money, not going broke either. I guess I would rather have the extra money every month and keep driving my old BMW. I'm thinking $16.5k. Do ya'll think that sounds about right? My payoff's a little more but I have an extended warranty that I can cancel.

You can utilize online resources like kbb.com. Doing a quick check with them showed this information...

Your asking price of $16,500 seems fair.

2002 Honda S2000 - Sebring Silver w/ 62k miles
TRADE-IN VALUE
Excellent
$11,775

Good
$11,025

Fair
$9,750

PRIVATE PARTY VALUE (If you sold it privately)
Excellent
$14,725

Good
$13,825

Fair
$12,675

RETAIL VALUE (expected price at a Car Dealer)
Excellent
$17,775

Now...here's a "REAL WORLD" expectation of your car's value...

$18,997 RETAIL PRICE - Car Dealer
55,930 miles

Wow, that's alot of info! I know real world is usually more on these cars. Gotta do a little soul searching and figure out if I really want to sell it. It's alot of fun to drive, I guess I would rather have the extra money to do things instead of own things.

Life is short... I've always been one to enjoy what I can now (within reason). Enjoy it...

I'd rather eat Raman Noodles than drive something less than the S.

Amen brotha. I hate my car payments with a passion but like you said, life is too short. Besides, I couldn't imagine life without this car

Well it sucks, but I'm pretty close to selling the car. I want to buy a house and not having a car payment would greatly increase what I could afford. I just moved to further away from work and the drive and gas is killing me. I want to get back closer to work and my taekwondo class and pool league. As soon as I get some pics, I'll be putting her up for sale.
