white is the rarest by far. took me over a year to fone my 02 gpw with red interior

i would say about 75% of s2000's for sale are silver.

there is no need to talk out your ass and make up #'s... especially after Saki's post.

OP, you have a canadian flag there... does that mean your Canadian? If so, there are far less NFR's in canada as it was a US only color for my04 and my05 (maybe more but i'm not sure). This could be why you aren't seeing many for sale.

There is a read 05 at Metro Toyota in Victoria. They want a ridiculous amount for it though, but it is in excellent condition. About 3 months ago there was a GPW with r/b interior again 31k or something like that but it had 55K on the odometer.

that is true, but that is why they invented a body shop. Or you can keep a cover on it and a nice wax. NFR is not easy to keep, but its the best color IMO..

Actually, Red, white, and LBP are among the hardest colors to find used.

Just to give you some perspective, in 2003 Honda sold about 7800 S2000s, about 12% red. Thats only around 930 2003 NFRs in USA, or 18 per state. Assuming there are more in Cali than anywhere else, and some have been wrecked, there could be very few 03 NFRs around in general, much less for sale.
good info.
