Thinkin about sellin, then ask yourself. Its not how you feel about the car, its how the car makes you feel?

My S is going to be a wizard's sleave.

Its an 06 with 48K miles.

7,000 in which I put on in 2 months.

Keep it and go get an old explorer or some 2-3,000 car to drive around. I have both a older SUV and the S2000, I drive the exploder in the rain and snow and to pick up supplies. I drive the S2000 to the store and split time back an forth to work depending on the weather.

I agree with most. Just keep it and get a beater. Insurance costs shouldn't change too much as another member has mentioned. I, for example, pay about $650/6 months for my S and 92 prelude. If I was just to do the S only, it would still be around $600 from what my agent quoted me. Remember, you get discounts when insuring more than one vehicle.

Also, decide if you plan to keep the S forever. I plan to so mileage isn't an issue. Drive it as much as you want to your hearts' content. Remember, it is a Honda so the reliability will be there. There meant to be driven for 200k+ miles. Just my .02.

If you enjoy driving the S then its a hands down keeper. I commute and drive for work. I enjoy it everyday. Keep it.

Just buy a car for driving home (the 200 miles).

You bought the s2000 for a reason!

its only 4 miles ride a bicycle and keep the S for the beautiful weekend drives.

I drive my S to work 2 or 3 days a week and ride my bike the others, its 4miles to my work. It is hard on the motor to be never be fully warmed up, i frequently take a detour coming home but I ride my bike because my doctor says i am fat the other days.

hmm, well you said it yourself, you don't feel like driving an expensive car to work everyday and your affraid of value. So i would say sell it and get a two door civic...otherwise, if you love the car, then thats something else
