Current and Future Value: S2000 ?
Just noticed this thread (below) posted by xoz on the Australia Forum 
It raises some interesting questions about "current and future value" of the S2000....now that production has stopped. Interesting to see the International perspective....
We've had similar threads, but this one takes a slightly different view.
What do YOU think will happen in 5-10 years....or whatever time frame you prefer 
Will there ever be a return to demand for the S 2000? Like other collector models out there?
Will this thread reveal the trend whereby one can spot the collector market trending upwards?
Will you be "pissed off" because you let her go and sold her too cheap?
I actually know someone whom sold his GTHO Phase 3 for under 10k, and another whom sold their beachfront Hedges Ave. for a million (now worth 3 million)
If only they had an internet forum to follow.
I would love to see this thread active in years to come like so many other fantastic threads from this forum, resurrected after years through "search".
Seems as though AP2 are becoming scarce, with only 2 currently on carsales.com.au.
Price ranging from $50k MY05 private to $60k MY06 dealer. These have been on the market for a month, 2 previous AP2's went within a week for $45 ish I think from memory.)
Just wondering if for instances sake, you had the funds for, and were looking for an AP2, disregarding colour choice (as this is limited) and lets say for arguments sake under 50k km. and in excellent condition.
What would you be willing to pay to get one.? Call this, just an exercise in gaining some sort of consensus from you the S2000 enthusiast and to answer my current curiosity, (also kill some time thru Easter...LOL) thanks for ur feedback.

thanks for that PaS2k..... at least here in the Vintage forum, in 10-15 years when this thread is STILL active...... well say no more, I hope I'm and many others are still around. .... haha
I also posted in all the International links to get the worldly perspective.
UK an Greece have interestingly, a totally different slant.

Here is my prediction. There may be some pent up demand in countries overseas but never here in the US. The value of S2000's will come up again from the low they are now. Heck, in 50 years they could be worth two or three times their original purchase price but that's about as good as it gets. With over 100k made, they will never be rare. With so many being fair-weather-weekend cars, we will never be without good condition low mileage finds.

Pretty awesome - time to load a big ship. In 5-10 years the Chinese will have all the money. Just think of what they might be willing to pay?
