I never buy the "new hotness" in anything and feel like I'm missing out on nothing but the original problems.
I would never buy the first generation of a new smart-phone or the first generation of a new model car. Let the first buyers pay the marked up price for an item that still has quite a few bugs to work out and buy the new/improved version for 50% less a year or 2 later!

My s2000 sold to the original owner for $60,000. Thats after the taxes, warranty, and so on. That was in 2009. These cars are not cheap brand new 
Very cool story though, you should have asked him what his s2ki name was.

There were plenty of us that paid $45,000+ back when the car first came out. Looking back, did we overpay? Depends on what you consider 'value'....I don't think twice about the markup I paid. My dealership vowed to put the markup amount to charity (which they did), and I owned the S2000 for a cool three years before they started getting 'common'.
Also, the first generation of owners made for a truly unique and cool community. Loved every moment of early ownership more than any other car I've owned...and on a personal note, back when I started my relationship with the S2k, I did the same with who was my gf and now my wife. The S2000 was very much apart of our relationship and still is.

my girlfriend hates my s2000
