Default s2000's future value

now that the s2k is discontinued. will their value appreciate over time? remain stable? or at the very least slow down the pace of depreciation? or will being discontinued have no impact at all?

thanks for the constructive response. but if you look at cars like supra's rx7's 240sx's. with the limited supply, number of them getting riced out, beat on, or mileage being driven up. I would think a clean, stock s2000 that does not get driven much would hold its value or depreciate little at the very least and maybe down the road say 10 years will start appreciating a bit in value.

from what I've been hearing it hasn't just been s2000's going up in value but the used car market in general because the economy's supposedly picking up.

Yes they'll go up; and if 17 year olds keep wrecking them they'll go higher.

Actually from what I've read, it's because the economy is still down. People are holding onto their old cars longer versus going out and buying new models. This is causing a shortage in used cars available, thus driving the prices up.
