After four years and two months of ownership, and 2 different S2000s, I'm now officially relegated to the ranks of Enthusiast rather than Owner. The car was collected by S20004U's delivery driver yesterday afternoon.

Mixed feelings really. I'm sad to see it go - the S2000 has been the best car I've owned and right up until the end still made me smile when driven like it's meant to be driven. I've also made some good friends through this board. The only reason for selling was that it felt time for a change and to take advantage of the summer market rather than leave it another 6-9 months until next spring and lose more in depreciation.

I know S20004U has had a mixed press on here but this particular transaction went smoothly. Sean Horsey e-mailed an offer for the car within an hour of the ad going up in the PH classifieds and sent me a cheque for the

 

So what's next Mark?

 

Not 100% certain yet. Most likely a 993 shape 911, although there's still a (very small) chance that I could end up with a 996 shape model.

I'm going to sit on the sale proceeds for a while and have a look what's out there.

I think your experience with shaun is echoed with the majority of people selling to him. The only beef I have heard of with him is on a couple who bought from him, and quite a few who ended up not buying from him.

I'm keen this doesn't turn into another S20004u thread, as we have a nice long one already

So MT, what happened to your Noble fetish?

 

he didn't give me as good a price as i was hoping. trade price admittedly, but from what Mark had said, I was hoping for higher.

 

That wasn't the intention - I'll get around to posting on the "official" S20004U thread later on!

I'd still love a Noble, especially since whatever replaces the S2000 will essentially be a weekend "toy" car. But even the earliest M12s are still around

 

... and is on his stock list today at

 

It's been up since last week, Ian - he posted it in anticipation of taking delivery.

 

You finally took the plunge then Mark!

Id nominate a 993 over a 996 mate.
