Default How long have you owned your S2000?

Given that we are getting close to the 10 year anniversary of the S2000 (I don't think we've quite hit it yet), I thought it would be interesting to see how long people have owned their cars. I put calls into dealerships in November 1999, following seeing one at the San Francisco Auto Show, and I took delivery from Honda of Oakland in February 2000. While mine is pretty low mileage (<30,000 miles), I drive it every day - just don't have far to go. And it looks and behaves like new!

Let's hear from others!

Well, I've owned an S for eight years - my first one (MY00) from 2001-2006 and my current one (MY06).

Right at 3 years since I bought mine. I purchased it in early Sept, 2006 from a private seller locally. It had 15,500 miles on the clock. It sits now at 32,459 miles so I've put about 5K miles a year on the car. I expect that number to go up though now that I am down to the S2000 as my only nice car and the truck gets driven rarely.

just over 3.5 years here.
Jan 06.

First weekend driving it I got to bring it home over the mountains in the snow. Had to buy chains since I had no choice to get snow tires as it was a sunday.

First RWD car too.

Purchased new in April of 2001 from a dealer in Montclair, California. I was supposed to purchase from a dealer in Las Vegas where I was living at the time. They agreed to sell it for MSRP with cd changer, titanium shift knob and wing so I took it for a test drive. After we returned from the test drive, the salesman informed me that they had someone that was going to purchase the car for 5k over MSRP so they couldn't sell me the car.

I then went home and emailed all of the Honda dealers in the surrounding states and found one in Montclair, Ca. I basically purchased the car over the phone that day and drove out to pick it up that night.
