$50,000

Hey! That MY00 (VIN #5961) is the car that Graham Rahal bought on BaT just over a year ago for $50k ($48k+fees). Wonder why he got (or is getting) rid of it -- found a lower-miles example, maybe?

How many people would pay that kind of money, if it was the 2020 version of the s2000? If that is what the price of the car at the Tokyo show was, would people still buy it? In essence, is that not what you are doing here? Literally buying a new car to drive or do what ever.

Cars as a whole (with very few exceptions) are terrible for investments, especially Japanese cars when compared to others. When you factor in inflation, housing them, and a multitude of other factors, your lucky to to gain anything measurable compared to investing in property/housing, or various other options you have choices to invest your time and money in. Cars are a liability, mean to be used. Don't kid yourself that the s2000 will ever be worth someones time to store and protect for the next numerous years to make anything worthy financially of the effort, your just taking care of it for the next guy to use. Fossil fuel may more likely be banned for mass use before the S2000 IF ever got into worthy investment realms, and what happens to all car investments then if there is no fuel available for them to run 10-20 years from now? Yeah its a fun and special car to many of us right now, so go out and enjoy it while you can!

Either car won't drive any better than a good condition used version at a fraction of the price. The new car smell is likely gone on those too after sitting for so many years.
I firmly believe cars that are used regularly will be more reliable than ones that are kept in storage for long periods of their lives.
