most if not all cars below $2-3k are junk. s2000 will never be a junk car.

I don't think it will ever happen. The demand will always be there. Because of this, the s2k will never match kbb prices. I have seen it with other cars and it will exist with this car.
Most recently, I was peaking cars and I saw a 1991 Nissan 240sx on sale locally (Cincinnati). I went and checked it out. It was in seriously bad shape. I mean the engine was hemorrhaging oil and coolant. The car was primarily held together with rust. It was a money pit. I would have taken it off the guys hands for kbb price, which was like $600 dollars. He wasn't budging for anything below $4k. Right or wrong, it was the demand that was driving the price up. It was the only local 240 I saw online for months. He mentioned that he has been getting tons of calls for it and a lot of people coming to look at it. It was sold in less than a week.
That's where I see our cars. Probably never scraping the 5k mark but once that happens demand will pick up and the price might jump up again. At 5k I can see parents buying them for their kids' first car which will end in wrecks which increases the demand!
