Just a quick question to the young 19 year olds that paid for the S themselves. How do you guys afford such an expensive car at such a young age? Or is that not an appropriate question to ask

?

I imagine the insurance rate would be insane for a 17 year old on an s2k...especially if you aren't under your parents policy.

A used s2k is not that expensive anymore.

Right now, i work full time for an industrial supply company as an inside salesman. This yr I will make approx 30-35k, and about 40k the following yr. Not gonna make me rich, but it definately puts a used s2000 well within my means. I bought an 02 s2000 w/ 37k miles for 20k. I put five thousand down and have 15k car loan @ 300/mo.. Buying brand new would have been workable, but I wanted to keep that money open.

I work at school through the year and I work 2 full-time jobs though the summer. The only help I had getting the car was a small loan from a family member that will be paid in full soon.

Insurance in western NY with a totally clean record and full coverage seems to range from $1000-1500 for 6 months.

Also, check out the site info forum and the link posted earlier. I made a graph of the data on S2k owner ages.
