Or this Green Lotus Elise for $29.9k:

Totally subjective just as worth is on any topic. Not worth it to me but it could be worth it to someone dead set on GPW.

It's one of the nicer colors, but not worth a heavy $$ premium IMO.

QUESTION:
Why spend $30k on a S2k when u can have this WHITE Corvette for the same price:

ANSWER:
Because you'd be driving a vette and not a S. Not my style.

It all depends on the buyer. I had been looking for an S2000 for several years and after looking at many, decided that an 07 GPW was the exact color combo I wanted. With that being said, my pool of options got significantly smaller, and I would have definitely paid the premium for one in good shape that was well taken care of. I ended up finding a clean one owner car for about the same price as most other 07 models in similar condition/miles, so I avoided the premium.

GPW and LBP, in my opinion, are the best looking colors on the S2000.

Around here there are very few s2000s to choose from so color is down on the list as a criteria.

For me, yellow would be a negative as I like minimum attention when I'm driving a fast car for fun.

It is a nice color but I wouldn't pay a premium for it.
