Not to take this off topic but I'm wondering about Haggerty collectors insurance also..

 

At this point, it's simple supply and demand dictating the price.

 

You are looking in a different market that is new to you. Its a whole different would of cars out there, and so far you are only becoming aquainted with how the S fits into that new world. I bet you will encounter more noteworthy car culture differences out there as time goes on.

Also, the S is a special car. Most of the time, even when it is finally time to move on and sell it, people are torn about letting it go. So unless they really need to sell it they are going to be slow about it. Its not going to be the typical commodity car buying process.

Lastly, define 'collector car'. To many of us it conjures the idea of a car that is both special, and old. How old does it have to be to meet the criteria? Does it even have to be old? Isn't the intrinsic quality of oldness here really just availability? New ones don't exist anymore and there is a finite number of them left. Doesn't that fit the S?

I would argue from this perspective the S is indeed a collector car.

 

what ever you do, do NOT look at white s2000 prices!!!! GL buying one hope you find one in your range.

 

I've got a GPW/Red,Black interior 07 I got not long ago. I think I paid fair market pricing.

 

Most collector car insurances require that the vehicle is worth a certain value (usually over $15,000), the car must be garaged, and the limit your coverage to 4,000-5,000 miles a year. There may be some other things. Hagerty has most of it on their site.

 

If not a collectors car now, I believe it will follow in the NSX's footsteps. (my old blue 03 nsx is in the cars for sale now)
But, if you want one to "collect"... Here it is:
800 mile AP1

 

MY 08 is insured by Hagerty, all S2000's could be if, you limit the mileage you drive it and it is for pleasure and show, it is kept in a garage and you have a daily driver for every driver in your household. I'm reasonably sure there is some other restrictions such as age of driver, current mileage and driving history. I pay about half of what Allstate wanted to insure it yearly

 

Thanks, Really good to know. ^^
I will look into through Hagerty. I'm pretty sure I'm in compliance with all those things as it is.

 

That's cheap IMHO.

J-rod, you mad?
