Hi I bought my s2000 last summer and I really like it. It's a ap1 2003 with 45000km all stock in MINT condition. I bought it for 21000 CAD It's been stored most of its time in a garage and the owner only used it for the weekend. The only mod to it is a subwoofer in the trunk other than that it's stock. However, my problem is that I don't know what to do. Since it's such in a pristine shape I don't wanna ruin this car. I'd like to mod it but I feel bad to do it because there's not a lot of s2000 in that condition. I know it's not a collector but I don't know. I'm thinking of selling it and buying one that's more age to it but I can't control the fact that the next owner will not beat it. I need your opinion on this :/

 

pointless to sell it for a worse off condition car.
that will just piss you off. sure you will have some money left for mods but ....whats the point really????
only sell it if its to get another car,.....but then be prepared to come back searching for another one.

 

It's your car mate. Do whatever you feel is right. Enjoy it for you. Don't preserve it for someone else to enjoy. If you like having a mint, OEM, stock car then leave it be, but if you want to mod it, then mod it the way you please. The answer you're looking for is not on S2ki man.

Trust me, this is a mental battle we've all fought. If you can afford to mod it with quality and high end parts, I'd suggest that route. Keep all your OEM parts so if you decide to switch it back to stock you have that ability.

 

There's no sense in selling it to someone else because you don't want it to get molested. Keep it. mod it and enjoy it. If you want a trophy car and want to keep it stock that's fine too but it seems like you're not enjoying it because of that. I would just "tear into the box" and play with the toy. Just take good care of it.

 

If you are thinking of selling to buy another less pristine, higher mileage S2K.....don't! Buy a Civic SI and run the crap out of it. It will depreciate like a common car and you won't have to worry about a "possible" collector car. Or continue to baby your S2K and take pride in the uniqueness of it.

 

That's horrible, you will put money into the other s to get it into the desired shape. Mod it, and keep stock parts. Mods are reversible

 

^^ yes.. If you are concerned about originality than only do mods which are reversible...most Mods are anyway

 

Hardly a problem. Do with it what you want and when you want a low mileage stock car buy one from someone who doesn't drive theirs much.

 

cars are meant to be driven.

 

You guys are right I think I'll hold to it and mod it like I want. Anyhow it's a car not a piece of artefact found somewhere deep. I will probably feel happier if I make it look like I want rather than looking at it and not doing anything. Thank you for your help!
