Having an S2000 C/R and a "Base" S2000 both is not rational...... but who cares !! I have both and my daily driver is a 2015 Civic SI. I just got into back sales at a Honda dealer in Tampa and we do not even have a true release date or production numbers.

Do you ever feel like you have too much of the same thing? I considered getting a 2nd S2K at one point to put more miles on, mod, etc and not be as worried about keeping it pristine like I do the CR. I'm assuming your CR gets less road time than he base model does? I also have an Si daily, it's an '11 sedan, works great as a daily, I've been very happy with it.

Not at all. It actually makes me feel better about putting more miles on the AP1 and less guilty feeling for not driving the CR much. Actually, before the 2nd S, I did not want to do a lot of modifications to the AP1 but now I do not mind it as much. They are both quite different even though they are Both essentially the "same" car.

thats cool! I currently have a 15 SI as a daily driver also and an AP1. I have been recently looking into buying a CR and was debating on selling the AP1 to buy one or just keep it and add a CR.
I had the same question as FurY did. I wasn't sure if having both would feel like too much of the same thing lol.

Just buy whatever that you can afford and make you complete and happy .

But IMO, if you just going to garage a car and not drive it then it really defeats the purpose of its existence. If you are just thinking to buy the car for investment, honestly the S is not that rare and it's more of a toy car. I can make much better return on investing in rental properties and stocks.

If you are not in a rush then just wait, the next market correction is coming soon and you will see the price go down along with it.

. "If you are just thinking to buy the car for investment, honestly the S is not that rare and it's more of a toy car". Actually they only made 699 CR's, so yes it qualifies as a rare car. Some are even rarer still. Toy car? I assure you it's very real, even my DMV, Hagerty insurance and even Honda dealerships are convinced they are a real cars.

" I can make much better on investing in rental properties and stocks" Lot's of factors play into the profitability of either rental property and especially stocks, neither of which are as fun as the CR.

" If you are not in a rush then just wait, the next market correction is coming soon and you will see the price go down along with it". That prophecy has been in the wings for years, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting on it.

I don't think you should buy a CR, rather you should buy two.

Each to their own and everything I said above is only my personal opinions. I do not want people to think I am trolling or try to turn this into a flame war. When I said toy car, I didn't mean the S sucks nor being disrespectful. It's a great car and fun as hell, but the S was also mass produced, sure the CR is a limited edition with lower production but the differences are minor. Again, I am more of a driver than collector. If I ever want to collect rare cars though, it would be Porsche.

I have to say my stock portfolio has seen a much higher yield compared to the CR. Also the rental property I bought back in 2011 has more than doubled and I still have positive cash flow on it. In order to have a good resell value of the CR you need to keep it in pristine condition and not drive it so it takes up space. FYI A garage in my area can be rented for $500-$1000 per month depend on the location.

Regarding the speculation of market correction, well the economic cycle is unavoidable. The market has been bullish for too long, also the longer it stays bullish the harder the next crash it's going to be.

Amazing find. Unfortunately think I will be paying something closer to market if I pick one up.

Where did you find it listed if you don't mind my asking?
