I’ve been an owner since 2007 and for an number of reasons I’m seriously considering selling (or trading in) the S2000.

I currently have a 2013 Civic and the 2006 S2000. I’m thinking of getting rid of both and getting one “year-round” car.

I haven’t really kept up on true resale value of the S2000. My car is a 2006 with 35k miles. I have a three bolt-on mods (exhaust, intake & wheels) that I could put back to stock before listing it.

I know I might regret it. - Any thought?

Don’t sell. Hold on to it and get Hagerty to cover it. Insurance cost will go lower and if the car is ever totaled they’ll pay you what the car is worth and not blue book value. Unless you need the cash don’t sell it.

Ive thought about selling mine in order to get a more dedicated track car plus truck and trailer. But once it’s gone you won’t find one like it again.

The price on these is only going up, I think you’ll regret selling it (and miss driving it)

Perfect opportunity for some Kierkegaard advice: "Your decision is of no importance to me. Sell it -- or don't sell it. You will regret either decision."

When I was about 26 years of age, I sold off a tired out Austin Healy 3000 that I had run into the ground because I didn't have the means or ability to restore it.

The older I got, the more and more I regretted the decision. It got to the point that I decided to go out and buy another. Of course the prices on even a project car were just about more than I could afford - and I bought the S as the practical, useable alternative. I don't regret that decision, but I still wish that I had the A-H 3000.

Keep it or you’ll be sorry

I can't sway you one way or another. Not having to deal with insurance on two cars, storage, driveway tetris, and extra maintenance is always a plus. And it isn't like a year-round car couldn't also be a blast to drive either.

The S2000 isn't exactly rare by any stretch. It would not be difficult to pick up another down the road. What it may cost to get in another one is a matter of pure speculation, but I don't think the values will be going down.

If you're looking for something more fun for a daily, I drove the new Civic Si a couple of months ago, and I think it is an absolute performance bargain at $24k.

well said Mark
You have 35K on a car that you know all or most of the history with nothing that can't be returned to stock. Could be hard in the future to find one that nice.
You will regret selling but there are worse things to regret.
