2003 S2000, Good condition, 22.5k miles, private party sale - $21,525.
2002 S2000, Good condition, 30k miles, private party sale - $19,000
2001 S2000, Good condition, 37.5k miles, private party sale - $17,170
2000 S2000, Good condition, 45k miles, private party sale - $15,090

So from a starting MY05 MSRP of $33,150, the anual depreciation amounts are:
$8,430
$1,275
$1,920
$2,525
$1,830
$2,080

A six year old S2000 retaining about half its value is actually a very good rate, from what I understand.

Retail of a MY04 S2000 with 15k miles is $27,635! So you can see how much profit the dealer would make off this. That's only $5,515 off '05 MSRP.
Here in Southern California you really have to look around to find an S under $18,000. Lots of salvaged ones around for $12 - 15,000 though.

Try Carmax, they give more than trade in and less than Private party.

was the 22g's what the dealer told you it was worth or was that the price you got when you looked it up?
