Default S2000 what Color?

Being an avid Honda enthusiast since well before I had a license, owning an S2000 has always been a goal for me. After owning several civics and a rsx-s, I finally have the means of owning an S2000.

My first choice of color is GPW, but after scouring the internet and dealerships, I'm heartbroken at how very few gpw S2000s are available.

I'm tempted to just go ahead buy a black S2000, my second color choice, because of the price break you seem to get when not purchasing GPW.

Why did Honda make so few GPW S2000!

If I couldn't find my GPW then my backup color was Laguna Blue Pearl

I originally wanted black but I found a good deal on a silverstone. I can only speak for myself, but I don't regret not getting my first choice at all. Every color looks good.

My first choice was GPW w/ red interior. This is mainly because the first S2000 I ever sat in was this combo and I fell in love with it.

My second choice was Suzuka Blue, which I ended up purchasing. I also fell in love with the color the first time I saw it.

I don't regret getting my second choice either!

I ended up getting a color that was fairly low down on my list...sebring silver.

I figure, when you're buying a used car, you can only be so picky...unless you're willing to have your search last for a really long time, or willing to expand the area of your search greatly.

The most important things on my list were. AP2, relatively low mileage, as close to stock as possible.

I feel like I found a good car at a good price in a color that I would definitely not have picked if I were buying brand new. But like others have said; it really does look good in every color...and I'd just rather have a well cared for sebring silver than a salvaged and molested spa yellow.

black i don't like.
i think all beatifull curves get lost in black.
defitinitely from 10ft or more away.

i dreamt about white with red interior - but after saw one in person i was less impressed.
IMO all crazy colors are fabilous - especially green and blue ones.
orange is OK but better on pictures than in reality.
silver ones are surprisingly nice.
i'm glad i got Suzuka

Color should be a lower priority for you when buying used.

Check to make sure the condition of the car is good and that all maintenance has been performed. Check for signs of abuse etc.

Once you have identified 2-3 cars that you think are well cared for, then based on your budget and the pricing of the car pick the one in the color you like the best.

FYI, Laguna's are supposedly rarer than GPWs, but that GPW looks awesome. It is one of my top color choices as well, although I like them all

Black was my primary, Suzuka was the backup!

You'll be happy no matter what.

I have a silverstone, but would drive any color. Frankly, the color was the last on my list.

If they made pink, I'd drive it and love it.
