I will be ordering my 2002 S2000 on Sat. and get to pick my colors.. i have been looking at pics. for 3 weeks trying to pick a color and am having a very difficult time! White is my first pick above all but due to the 2002's now having only an all red interior option for White.. i can't go with this color. I don't want silver or red... i am deciding between black and yellow.. Black is my favorite color but i have owned 4 black sportscars and they were hell to keep clean and never really looked great unless just waxed and even then my Supra TT never looked great simply because it was 6 years old and time and weather had taken it's toll... Anyways i was thinking of doing something different for a change (yellow) but am wondering if this is going to be a color that fades in popularity over the next few years (resale value worry)?.. So without going into my seemingly endless rant back and forth between the two colors.. i'd like to get your feedback as this is a big decision for me (i'm not rich and this will likely be my last sportscar)..any opinions, especially from those that have seen both these colors in person is very greatly appreciated.
Thanks

p.s. a used white s2000 is not an option
p.p.s. i know it comes down to what I like... but i am split 50/50.

 

My dealer (Jay Honda in Bedford, OH) has an '01 White/Red (the red/black interior) that's still available as of this past weekend. It's got about 350 miles on it (never titled, just shuttled around between a few dealers I think), and they are ready to deal big time on it. Call (440) 439-1846 and ask for Jeff Wells. They're good folks there, tell them I said they'd give you a good deal. (Just mention my name - Jonas) I don't work for them or get anything out of this or anything - they've been good to me, and I'd just like to return the favor.

Don't buy the car for the next owner. Buy it for you. Don't worry about resale value. Get yellow.

 

Color is such a personal thing...either way tho you can't go wrong. I would suggest that you look around your local dealerships and see the two colors in person...it really is a big difference from photos. Remember, trust your gut feelings...good luck.

 

I say get the black/black ...only because I got that on order. If you want to be spotted by everyone then go for the yellow. The yellow is really nice but I'd prefer not to be seen. So it's really on you. Choice is up to you best thing to do is to see it in person and from those feelings make your choice.

Black is too hard to keep clean and dust free. That is the important thing, DUST. THe black looks great when newly washed though. Spa yellow is still my favorite.

 

top..two more days !

Man...get the yellow....you know you want it.....

I'm originally from Missouri, and I know that state needs some flash and class...so get the yellow..(help drown out the pickup trucks)

I have personally been impressed with how easy it is to maintain the yellow, doesn't show dirt nearly as much as a black car (my last car was black)...I will never get a black car again, especially in the desert...

I agree with the above statements...don't by the car for "resale value" based on color...get what makes your heart race...
