Can't say I trust Ballade much, can you go elsewhere?

Also had an 02 RSX-S, ended up selling it 3 years ago. Really could've gone either way though.

There aren't a lot of cars I'd be willing to sell my S2000 for.. However I would get rid of it so quickly if it was my only car

On a side note im 28, single, no kids, commute to school/work. So maybe that also reduces the complication in me having the s2k as a daily

The S is a fine dd for someone that isn't soft and fits in the car.

Ask yourself if years from now you would regret passing on the opportunity to have a car like the S as a dd for several years...

Ive had my S2000 since 2006, and ive always had another car while I had the S. Ive also owned a 06 type S at the same time for about two years with the S2k. The Rsx was a great daily driver, even though I liked the S2k more. For me the RSX had better utility. Im in my early 30's now and cant use the S2k as a daily. Good luck, looks like a good deal, would you be able to keep both?

My s2k has been my dd since 2009. I'm now 31. I love it. Got it at 30k mileage and now it's at 110k
It's been paid off for like 4 years now but I still have no interest it getting anything else. I just do more and more to the car. Little fixes, refurbs on old parts, swaps, adjustments, modifications. Never gets old.
If I get another car, I'll still keep this one. 100%.

I take the train to work though so that helps. Sits in a garage most of the week since I get home at 8pm every night.
Also if it is even snowing the slightest bit, I'm taking an uber. Not worth the risk of getting stuck. Last time that happened I came back to retrieve my car to see a plow had hit it

Are you in a position to keep both? S2k would make a great secondary fun car obviously. I could see myself having an s2k as my primary car if I lived down south or out west, unfortunately I live in the northeast so it's not the most feasible thing. RSX for DD and S2k for weekends/nice days would be excellent. I have a 2010 Si sedan for my daily all year, getting an s2k for my fun car, and planning to keep it

Replace your exhaust, drive top down on Lakewood blvd and floor it under the tunnel between 405 freeway and Spring St. That should remove all doubts.
