I do take care my CR, but I put nearly 2,000+ miles on the car per month; however, I don't plan to sell my car unless it's for a large sum of cash. 
At the rate I'm going, my car will definitely be in need of a new engine 20 years from now.

does anyone know the del sol 93-97 and crx 84-91 production numbers? i unfortunately feel, by the time 10 years go by, our cars will fall to the same demise the crx and del sol did, riced out rust buckets with little value
The crx and del sol, were both lesser production cars compared to other honda models, both were sports cars aimed at most likely the same market the s2000 was. Both of those cars are nearly worthless, with crx prices only slightly rising due to the recent cr-z release. S2000 prices have already plumitted so hard, I think they will only continue to go down. Especially since the younger generation can afford them now and destroy the S2000's reputation as a mature roadster, and turn it into another ricer.

It's not easy to find a well-maintained stock Del Sol VTEC(B16A) for under $6k. The S2000s that are well maintained will still be fairly sought after 10 years from now. The S2000 does not share the same chassis as the Civic, like the Del Sol and CRX do.

Corrected for you. 
A car is a terrible investment. Enjoy it while you can. Hoping they depreciate in value a ton. I'll be tracking my CR until it or I can't do it anymore. And if the CR dies before I do or it becomes a dedicated track car, hopefully S2000's will depreciate enough so I can pick up another.

S2000 ≠ Del Sol or CRX
Therefore, their history hardly predicts the S2000's future. Yes, the S2000 will depreciate (slowly) but the model will never be know as "riced out rust buckets with little value".

Yeah, but it's like treating a ho like a housewife.
anyway, the reason I say the s2000 will keep value at 8-10K is because of what the NSX is doing. The NSX is holding pretty steady at 30K (give or take, depending on good deals) from the FIRST generation!
The prelude is another good example, its been pretty steady at 5-7K (BB6)
I think the s2000 will fit in a nice niche between those two. It is still a highly sought out car even AFTER its been taken out of production.
