CR for sale at Porsche Dealer, is this price serious????
Check out this CR for sale, you can get a Porsche Spyder for this amount of coin. To me, regardless of miles, this is beyond insane. That said I don’t follow the CR market that much.
Seems to be well sorted, but I would think mods would detract from the value.
Funny i I almost bought a CR, they were $5K under MSRP when I bought my Shelby, I could’ve driven it for the past 10 years (only 25K miles on my Shelby I bought instead) and made money on it. Crazy

That is exactly what I was thinking, I have never seen mods increase value like they want. I am guessing they are at least $20K too high, I hope they didn't take it in trade thinking it would sell for $60K. I love my S2K, but $60K is crazy, there are a lot of cars you could buy for that amount of coin.

Not sure what this is, it's no longer a collectible CR with all the mods to the engine and body and it's not a race car (never was). Pot holes in Cleveland will eat thing alive with that suspension and tires. Heck I broke a wheel on I271 in Beachwood years ago! (Not on the S2000).

This is still a CR, while still super, super, super clean/nice, is it a stock collector car? No. Is it going to be a billion times more fun to drive & way cooler to all but concours judges? Yeah, 100%.
This car is overpriced BUT for $60k, I'm not sure you're getting anything much more fun (or better sorted).

I think the biggest plus is the mileage. Sure, the car is clean. But, if I were to buy a collector's car, I'd spend my money on an NSX, or heck, even a Viper!

Someone will buy it and justify the price asked.
This is a very low mile car with tasteful mods. Someone looking at a 100k+ Porsche may test drive it and realize they could save 40k and have just as much (if not more) fun in this.
More "mature" enthusiasts with the funds are buying these up... I'm not so sure it's a typical "collector's" car as much as an older enthusiast's car who realizes they don't make cars like this any longer.
The values are going up on these nice examples of S2000's in general (stock and tastefully modded). As values go up and test the envelope ppl will be shocked at asking prices but as long as ppl are buying then there you go.
For 60k with those mods you will be hard pressed to find anything in the same performance range and fun factor.

funny, I hope they will lose their collective asses, porsche dealers are some of the worst for ripping people off. I visited one recently to look at a severely overpriced 997 Cayman and could barely get the guys attention. I've heard tons of stories from other guys about Porsche dealers being pricks. I hope this car sits on their lot forever at that price, it's dealers who are hoarding the s2ks and marking up the prices to insane values. Don't worry about the dealers, they don't have your best interest at heart.
