Vain people buy a car so that others will look at it.
Selfish people would deny others the chance to share this experience so that they might own a rarity.
At the end of the day we've got a lot of gullible, vain, selfish people who are upset and talking badly about treacherous dealers. Sounds like everyone got their just desserts to me.

It is not the dealer's fault if you make a bad deal. If you pay too much (in your own opinion), that's your fault. If you don't check all the facts and specs before you lay down your money, it's your fault. It's a big game: The dealer's job is to get as much of your money as possible and your job is to not spend any more money than necessary to get what you want.
It is not Honda's job to protect you from making what you determine later is a bad deal. It is not Honda's job to limit production of a vehicle that's making money for the company. And it's not Honda's job to even bother with the whiners who believed something that Honda never said about the car only being built for one or two years.
It's your job to live in the real world and take responsibility for your actions, and if your "Oh, man

Then we have a problem, to give false information to sell or mark up a car is wrong, and being Honda Dealerships, I think Honda should be held responsible. I know of people who paid 10+ over msrp, and another year of production, or who knows 3 or 4, can be really bad. Yes yes, I know its a great car, and everyone should be able to drive it, but hey, whats wrong with having something not everyone can get their hands on?? well thats what i thought i was buying, but i guess i was fooled, shame on Honda dealers who lied to me and everyone else. I say we put a letter together to Honda of America, explaining how we have been HAD, cause when i walk into a Honda dealership i want to be comfortable believing what they are saying. The sales tactics used on the S2000 are completely opposite of that.

For what it's worth, the car is still produced in relatively small numbers. I live in the home of the Z3 and I seem many more Z3's and Miata's than I do S2K's. I paid over MSRP for my Spa Yellow and am very happy with it. The dealer I bought from only gets one a month so its pretty tough to get and there's no reason for them to discount. The car still gets its share of looks. Just wish they had stopped the Spa Yellow for 2002. Be thankful for what you have people.

Well put Aus2000 and STL. I love my car and that is why I bought it. I wanted a covertible that is good looking, fast and affordable. To be honest, my dealer originally tried to sell it at 10K over MSRP and I wouldn't have that.(ended up talking him down to $2500-$3000 over) He never said anything like there won't be any 2002. He did say that the production numbers in the US will be under 8000 a year. So far so good. Others should get to enjoy this car, and as has been said before 7,000 compared to 400,000 is still limited. Like I said before, in 5 years I'll trade it in for the 2006 Honda S2000 with the 2.6L 312 HP engine
