Greeting everyone!

I'm "on the hunt" for a 2009 S2K. I think it's my mid-life crises car (38).

I'm looking for a Silver one.... do I understand correctly that in 2009, "Silverstone" replaced "Chicane" as the Silver offering?

Anyways - I think I have the bug. I downloaded the 2009 Honda S2000 Brochure today...and I definately drooled.

I'm seeing a few 2009's on Autotrader and Cars.com for $35K-ish. Seems to me that might be high, but I'm not sure how large the demand is.

OK - serious question:

Has anyone had "buyer's remorse" after getting their S2K? Does the "magic" wear-off after a while, or do folks still love the car? I had a 2007 Civic SI (Fiji Blue) for awhile - and I started regretting not buying a used BMW 3-series for the same price. I still am really drawn to BMW as of late, but LOVE the idea of having an S2K. The S2K would be the 3rd car (actualy 4th). I'm driving a 2008 Fit Sport (LOVE it!), the wife has the 2010 Odyssey Touring, and my daughter is driving a 2000 Civic LX. The S2K would be the weekend / date / breath life in car.

Anyways - any help locating a non-modified 2009 Silver S2K would be great!

Good luck in your search. Whereabouts are you looking for one?

Anywhere in the US...

 

I'm pretty sure Chicane replaced Silverstone.

$35k sounds kinda high but I guess an 09 is probably still a pretty "new" car and there might be a premium now that they aren't being made anymore.

My advice would be to shop around, test drive a few and keep your eyes and options open. If you're going to narrow it down to a certain color be ready to pay and travel extra to get it.

As far as "buyer's remorse" goes, there is none here! I bought my s2k a year and a half ago and it only comes out on nice days. Due to insurance restrictions it has to be parked for 3 consecutive months over the winter and its the hardest thing to lock it away and leave it sit. I enjoy it as much today as the day I drove it off the lot.

One day you'll find your s2000 and you'll feel the same way about driving it as I do

 

Thanks for the reply....


I've definately got the bug for the S2K, and now that I have the $$$ to buy one....it's just a matter of finding one.

I haven't seen a Silver 2009 anywhere - I'm wondering how elusive they are.....

There is a Chicane 08. Same as 09 if you aren't completely set on an 09.

 

Thanks Barrett - I'm really looking for the '09. I "think" the '09 is Silverstone again, instead of Chicane. Have not found a Silver '09 anywhere yet - so not sure if they exist outside of the 2009 Brochure..

 

I saw one a few weeks ago I think, if I find it again for you, can we be friends? haha kidding, but really, I could have sworn I saw one on Craigslist a few weeks ago (I tend to just glance over the ads when it's silver since I've owned two silver ones already). If I do spot it again I'll be sure to send you a PM.

 

Thanks dagle!

Really - I'm hoping that by posting here - I'll increase my chances of finding one. I'm being SUPER picky...finding a 2009 is hard enough, let-alone a Silver one.

I wish Craigslist had a nation-wide search option for cars! Autotrader, Cars.com, and as a last resort Ebay Motors...are pretty much my resources. There was a time last year that you could actually find left-over 2009's at dealerships - but back then I didn't have the money (or the lust).
