As Hfreak has already noted, that 2004 car that you just posted about is a Suzuka blue car (this is a light blue color that almost looks like a cross between silver & blue. Honda sold a lot of S2K’s in this color as it seemed to be very popular back in the day. It’s generally less popular these days often making these cars some of the better buys out there. This car appears to be much more
appealing than the others you’ve inquired about and it’s obvious that the seller will take less than the asking price.

But this is an AP2 car (again as previously noted by Hfreak) and you seemed to be set on finding an AP1 car. When I was in the market to buy I was only focused on the ‘04 and ‘05 cars which were the first generation AP2 cars before the switch was made to the drive by wire throttle setup in ‘06. That made my options much more limited. But we don’t all have the same preferences. If you are sure that you would prefer an AP1 car then I’d recommend that you stick to your plan as you can usually find them for less money. But if you might be flexible on that front and this car is located near you then maybe go have a look at it. Not much to lose in that scenario.

That would be pretty cool to have owned cars representative of so many different “S2000 eras”. I’m more than content with what I have. I look at these cars as meeting some preferences better than others depending on the year model. While I might consider certain year models “better for me”, I do not consider any year model to be better than any others.

It would be cool if Honda were still making these cars today, But I’m glad that they at least had a decade long run. To me it seems that there remains something for everyone when it comes to S2K fans. I do have my own preferences, but I also have no doubt that I could have plenty of fun in any year model S.

Here’s hoping that the OP ends up happy with whatever S2K is chosen.

I have no idea what to tell you at this point. Is the hardtop of value to you? If so then that’s a nice bonus. I’d never have use for one as I only like to use the S during nice weather. I still might still get caught by surprise by the wet stuff every now and then so I would place a higher value on a soft top free of rips and tears.

I also wouldn’t completely trust a Carfax report. I wouldn’t have problems with what is actually listed on the report. But just because something does not appear on the report does not mean that it didn’t happen, for better or worse.

If you guys look in February 15 it had 159k miles so how is it that in november 15 it had 156? Very Suspect. I am so happy I paid 40 dollars for a Carfax report instead of just going with the flow. Always buy a carfax!
