S2000 CR Club Racer Edition CR stands for "club racer," conjuring up the good old days when guys drove their sports cars to the track, raced them, and then, if the racing gods were smiling, drove them home again

I see they've lowered the price from $35k they first told me. It's a rare car but at 6 years old with 5k miles on it, it's still overpriced imo.

For anyone interested in this car, bridgewater acura has had quite a few negative feedback from members in the NY metro section. It's worth to search and read them before investing in this car.

My rule of thumb is to get it at least 2000 under what they ask.. If They say 33000, take it.. 500 bucks ain't gonna kill ya with all the smiles u get .. Your own and the people who see u in it.. 8200 Rpms

If it were a delete it might command their asking price. With all the extras on top of the purchase price you are looking at considerably more. I would offer 33K out the door.

When you say "out the door" I assume all costs except sales tax?

I'm amazed at how much the cars still go for these days. In 2008, you wouldn't be able to resale this car for that price.

I'm OK with it though. I have a sub 30,000 mile CR that I didn't pay near that much for so keep the price moving up please.

It's not that amazing if you look at what you can buy today for $35,000. With safety standards and automotive regulations being where they are now, Honda couldn't make a car like the S2000 today even if it wanted to.

The BR-Z/FRS is the closest comparable vehicle, and 14 years after the S2000's release I still don't think it measures up.

I'm actually in the process of securing this CR just so I can have an S2000 in addition to the one I currently own. That's how much I love and appreciate what the S2000 is. As long as there's people who share that same appreciation the market will continue to strengthen. Especially when you have another crowd who is destroying every low priced S2000 they get their hands on (eventually there won't be that many clean ones left).
