Default Book Values are up for a lot of cars, not just S2k's

A lot of people trying to buy a used car from Honda (or other makes and models) have probably noticed pretty steep prices. Eg: 02-03 Ep3's going for "2009" Ap1 prices. I have seen plenty with 120k + miles going for $7k, 8k, 9k, even $10k. I was considering selling mine and getting a 2005 GPW, but I'm not willing to fork out $18-20 for it. Here is the article (one of many, I'm sure most have seen.) So it isn't just S2k's increasing in value. http://autos.aol.com/article/resale-value-increases/

What do you guys think would be a fair price for a 2002 with around 100k miles

Best time to sell a used car

Worst time to buy one

This will keep young bucks from buying S2k's and wrecking them so another masterpiece will not be lost

Bought my AP2 six months prior to getting my license this year. Trust me, it will not be ruined or lost.

Congrats ... Sucks to see the demise of a car with such a limited production. Sad thing is, there's a thread every month or so of one getting totaled

Yup and statistics show 70-80% of new drivers get into an accident or fender bender within the first 2-3 years. Not a car you want that to happen in. Factor in the power and insane handling with little or no experience and you got a disaster waiting to happen...
