240sx was limited production because mostly only women bought them
hence why most S14a's are auto

 

240sx's weren't "limited". it only seems that way because only like 1 in a million has clean title, never wrecked, 5 spd, has no rust, and doesn't already have a stock sr w/o ac and ps.

mine was clean and i thought i got a good price for it when i sold to save for my s2k a year and half ago, but recently i look at them and they're still selling for about the same price. so i think the s2k's will maybe stay the same in terms of price or drop very slowly but it'll def. go down unless it's like <20k miles and stock.

 

lol the good ol S14 days

Bought my S14a 5sp for 7k then sold it for 8.3k after i was bored with it

love that car though

 

I sold my 92 prelude for $100 more than I paid for it 5 years and 50k miles earlier. I would expect the same pattern for the S, if not better.

 

I think it'll just slow down. For instance I have a 01, GS-R clean stock (mostly stock, put type-r oem parts on it), and I put it up for sale the other month. I compared it to other ones for sale and mine ended up being priced higher, simply because as FUNKshin stated, most of the GS-R's on the market are either all stolen, crashed, salvaged, or riced out. They're actually kind of rare! Type-R's even more so. So the value is still high, but by no means do the actually go 'up'. I ended up not selling my gs-r, figured I'd keep it as my DD. But on that note, I saw a pristine, yellow type-r for sale. Stock, very low miles, and it was still going for about 22k. So the value of that car never went up from msrp since 01. If anything it went down slightly more due to inflation.

 

Being somewhat rare, it'll just depreciate at a lesser rate than the average car. Honda did sell nearly 80,000 of these, so it's by no means "rare" and it will be a couple decades before attrition starts to push the value up.

Just enjoy your car. Very few if any mass production cars appreciate in the foreseeable future.

 

It will probably hover at a baseline price for awhile. Looking at 1991 NSXs, it's rare to find them less than 20k with a clean title.

 

CRs are going to rule.

 

Interesting thread.From several dealer reps I've spoke with and searching the net using some choice key words it seems that the s2000 is destined to become a collectible item.There are a few reasons for this.One,as we all know is that production was ceased in 09'.Two ...while not exteremely rare they are still not exactly a common commodity even in their own time. Three..and probably most important is that the s2000 is a quite unique and classy looking and operating sports car.How much of a collectible commodity it becomes of course remains to be seen. I feel quite fortunate to have one and intend on preserving its luster. Cheers.

 

My 01 went up in value also, although not by a lot.
