[QUOTE=jemje2006,Dec 7 2008, 08:38 PM] you wont like its maintenance cost. especially, flywheel cost you $2200.

[QUOTE=bumblebeeS2K,Dec 7 2008, 09:13 PM] get the newest car you can afford, but at the same time i would avoid buying brand new

 

From what I've read, I recommend getting 04 or 05, whichever you find that's closer to home, easiest for you, or best condition. I've seen those go for sub 17k easy and if depreciation is what you're worried about then go for those years since they'll should plateau in the next year or so price wise.

I'm assuming this mugen aero concept kit fits ap2 only? Well, not that it matters since you want Rio Yellow and that's offered only on ap2. Is this it?

That looks nice too.

I'm not saying don't mod your car, but if you're worried about depreciation, then modding a car might not be the best idea since you probably won't get half of what its worth back when you sell it. I mean let's say you put on 3,000 worth of mods into the car (exhaust, full body kit). That 3 grand can easily get you a newer model year with less mileage. I guess that also depends on how long you plan on keeping it too.

 

thx for advice, that's what i really like.

i plan to keep the next S in a very long term since it's a reliable DD.

 

I would get an '06 if you are worried about depreciation

 

Question: how many original keys does each S2000 come? 2 or 3? anyone can post photos?

 

For AP2, it's 1 S2000 key, 1 normal black Honda key, and 1 normal grey Honda valet key.

 

thank you.

 

you also get two key fobs.
