Highly unlikely he get's more than 15K sadly.
i agree. imo, this is the most undesirable year (01 is arguably less desirable) in the most undesirable color. the low miles and hardtop are a plus, but if i had 24k to drop on a S, im pretty sure i would be looking at C/Rs or a newer kraftworks beast

Don't be sad - you got to be just like us and bought the S four years later!

nope, your color is far less desirable.

I don't see what's the big deal. They're no longer producing the car, let the man ask what he wants. It's in great condition, low miles, and he's probably not in a hurry to sell. If someone wants to buy it, more power to him and the buyer.

Collectible or not, you guys DO realize that higher asking prices are good for ALL owners, right? Stop complaining.
