you must remember that a small tight 2-seat car for high dollars has a very limited market because it's so impractical.

All of the statements made about the economy and car market seem pretty much correct.
There is one other factor: the market for S2000's is "thin," meaning that only a small number are bought and sold compared with other cars. It's like someone who is extremely specialized in his/her profession must search longer for a new job. There are just fewer buyers and sellers.
You are down to simple economics, I believe. Decide how many additional lease payments you want to make vs. lowering the price of the car. If reducing the price $1000 would sell it two months sooner, it probably makes sense to do so. Alternatively, now that you know it's worth less than you originally believed, maybe you want to keep it.

S2000 is a toy ... toys are harder to sell during these economic slumps.
And as previously stated, there are great deals on NEW cars and the financing that goes with it.
Just my 2 cents.
