I do hope you are kidding.
The 2003 is superior to the 2001 for a very simple reason.
Read: Glass rear window with defogger instead of plastic.
Enough said.

I own a 2001, i am definitely a proud owner of that year. With the plastic window...yeah...it sucks, but I eventually replaced it with an glass OEM honda glassed window softop. I can tell you that, it closes the same as it had when it had the plastic window compared to all the threads needing the frames and all that. I paid $450 for the install from a local upholstery and paid $300 for the soft top that was practically brand new.

I own a 2001 and it's what I would prefer compared to 02-03 with the all red interior that's for sure.

Plastic rear window can be replaced without removing the top.
Plastic rear window provides more rear visibility than a glass window.

Just sayin...

For the record, I was totally kidding with my comments above. Not trolling, I didn't think anyone could possibly take them seriously...

Regarding used car values, they're worth what you can get for them, which isn't strictly laid down in any book anywhere. If you're selling, get what you can for it. If you're buying, get the best example you can find for the least money. Either way, no reason to fret over KBB numbers that don't seem to make sense.

Typical clock-equipped S2000 owner, always apologizing.
