Shouldn't be too scared - you saw how low my NSX was. I daily drove that!
It was more like "annoyed" to drive it than scared to drive it.

$40k for a 10yr old production car is silly IMNSHO.
That's what the NSX's go for. My 2001 NSX with 26k miles sold for $51,500 - so saying $40k is being generous.

Gotta learn to ask the right questions.
I could never do a 5yr lease, I'm usually screaming to get out after 12-18mos. The S has been the first that I'm not wanting to get out early, but I don't drive it much.

- Since Dec 04' I've owned 9 cars. I buy and trade way too much, plus drive too many miles to lease.

I knew I wanted to keep the S for a long time, and I did. (for me.)

Since 2002 I have had 6 cars, and I currently have three. It's time to simplify too.

Yeah - I go through cars way too quickly. Most of my cars haven't lasted me but 6 months, if that.

I know that I 'wanted' to keep my S2000 and NSX, but obviously things fell through.
