Default Second thoughts about selling the S2000

I owned my 06 S2000, rio, since May. My DD is an 07 G35 sedan. I posted earlier that I was moving on and selling the S2000 and buying an NSX. I listed the S2000 thousands below KBB for a quick sale. I detailed the car, in and out, and I'm starting to have some doubts. I took the S for a short drive with the top down and that caused more doubts. I started looking at NSXs in my price range of 25-30k and the thought of owning an 18 year old sports car with big maintenance bills is causing more doubts. What to do, what to do???

there are a few accounts on here of people's stories with both cars.

in the end a lot say the s2000 is more "fun" while the NSX is more of the sports car.

and yes the NSX is 15+ years old. have you test driven an NSX yet?

Haha, I did this yesterday with my G35. I'm trying to sell it to buy another S and after I detailed it, I wasn't so sure anymore

I wouldn't do it but you've got to go with what you want. Make a list.

You're not just now realizing that are you?

Also, as stated above, test drive.

I may be new to the S, but I'm keepin mine for a long time. There are alwayz going to be doubts. Crap i traded in my truck, (which was my baby) and now I miss it like crazy and I have my doubts, but I can have a lot more fun in the S. Plus, just look at the S....nothin sexier

If I were going to trade my S for another car, it would have to be a hell of a car, and the NSX ain't it. Don't get me wrong, I the NSX, I just feel the S is the better car.

I test drove an NSX but the owner was sitting right next to me and he made it clear that I can drive it but not drive it hard. It was pretty amazing it terms of the whole mid-engine sports car. It was pretty nice. I still remember the first time I drove the S2000, couldn't stop grinning from ear to ear...
