Yea, my lude is actually running great. I always keep up on the maintenance, and the engine is a JDM H22, it only has about 90k miles on it. The transmission is from a Euro R accord, an M2B4 transmission with an LSD in it. The problem is that the body has 230k miles on it, and it's creaking, it's groaning, and all of the bushings need to be replaced ASAP. She'll keep driving as is for a long time still, but at this point it's almost at beater status, if it's not already there. If I get a new WRX, I will definitely part it out and sell it (I have type S seats, 2 sets of rims, the lip kit, etc...). If I get an S2000, I may consider keeping it as a beater status car.

Much better due to the LSD in it. The ratios are also the same, since the Euro R also uses an H22 motor.

Where did you get 32k? I've been seeing 25k as the estimated price.

To answer your question Ive been selling hondas for about 9 years and when the s2k first came out they were selling at msrp which was about $34k base or about $37 for the CR but sometimes over msrp depending on availability. Selling s2ks is just like selling anyother product that is hot and rare to find so you'll have to pay top dollar unless the tide turns which it did about 3 or 4 years ago when the economy tanked and alot of consumers went to honda stores to get high mpg automatic trans civic,hybrids,crv,4cyl accords which are all practical cars that run on regular gas and s2ks are not so sales dropped along with the prices but now are going back up..

If you're not finding what you're looking for then you have to loosen up on some of them. To add to the "increase your radius" comments, I went 1,000 miles for mine back in 2007.
S = fail to many spec sheet racers as well. If I was shopping today I'd seriously consider the BRZ.

"In Edmunds performance testing, a manual-equipped BRZ went from zero to 60 mph in 7.3 seconds. This is a bit slow compared to most other small, sporty cars."
Waste of money. I can't believe people are actually buying into the 'hype'. Because its RWD?
Get a WRX if you want a Subaru over the S.
