For at least two years after I bought my S2000 in November, 1999, I was lucky if I saw even one other S2000 per month. Lately, however, I am seeing at least one every day. Although many of them are yellow, I am generally not seeing the same ones over and over. Used ones are for sale both in the local papers and on eBay and they often have less than 10,000 miles.

I conclude that there is still a good market for new S2000's, but since some new owners are finding out quickly that it is not the car that they expected, there are many used ones (with low mileage) available as well.

 

I think they're common too. I usually don't see many, if any around at all. But on one drive yesterday, from my health club to my friend's house, I saw 4!!! A sebring silver, 2 reds, and a silverstone. Only the other silverstone waved at me... none of the other ones waved back.... mean Chicago NW Suburb people.. just kidding

 

I guess my trip to work is too short to see them every day. Or it might be this area but, I dont see them everyday.

 

For every year they keep the car in production, you will see more on the roads, but I think it still will not be as "common" as most mass-produced automobiles. If there's one color I rarely see, that's white. I've seen only one in several months, and when I did, I couldn't take my eyes off it. It was a beauty.

Although I think some owners may not think it was what they expected, I think it is a small minority percentage, which is not unusual. I believe most owners come away with the feeling that is is everything they expected, and perhaps more.

 

I still only see one maybe every week or so if I'm lucky

 

If I'm lucky I'll see one more than once a week.

 

On a couple of days I swa two of them. But mostly three to 4 per month around here.

 

If I'm lucky, maybe two a month. Usually, when I'm in the Explorer.

 

You may see more of them lately, but they will never be as prolific as cars like the BMW 3-Series (I can count at least 5 sightings a minute in Dallas, no joke) or even the upcoming 350Z. Nissan will import almost 35,000 of those things the first year. Compare that to the (supposed) 5000/yr, which is really more like 6000-9000/yr in reality. If you figure 7500 x 3 production years, you are only looking at 22,500 in the US total. That is a great selling point: the relative rarity of the car!

 

My biggest fear is:

The newer owners of the S2000. I like to think in some aspect we are all the same (Owners of S2000's). We are excited to see each other on the road, we will waive to each other, we are enthusiasts in the car, we are enthusiasts in the production and interest of the car, and we meet regularly.

I am afraid of the day that the S2000 will become like a Corvette for instance, where the owners are of a new breed and don't care about the "Club" and uniqueness. They just have one because they thought it was cool or just to have one.

Anyone else feel this?
