Default GPW/RED/Hardtop Sale

No affiliation but I've read a lot of posts searching for this as if a unicorn. Just letting you know!

The wheels and tints hurt the value of the car but assuming everything else is clean....could be nice.

Doesn't hurt the value any more than the cost to buy some ap2v3s and rip off the tints....If I hadn't have bought mine I probably would've sprung for this. Although I was under the impression that the gpw/all red interior was the true unicorn s2k, and not just because I have one lol. GPW is nice in any configuration; shame no one saw it that way back when they were making them except a few people. I'm sure if silver was the rare color everyone would want that one though.

I thought the unicorn was GPW with a completely red interior?

The unicorn is the white 2002 s2000 with the full red interior. full red means everything was red including the dash. This color combo is the rarest of all s2000’s and only made for 1 year.

If that car is truly as presented then that's a really nice price. Unicorn is such a subjective term. but it's centered around rarity. The guys at LHT refer to all GPW S2Ks as unicorns. I'd say that GPW CRs are the true unicorns. More specifically the GPW delete CR is THE unicorn, lol. But this particular combo only found in 2008 and 2009 cars definitely rates high up on the unicorn scale and is certainly more rare than the GPW over all red cars. I'm not really a big fan of Honda's two-tone seats but I personally prefer the way they approached the two-tone look on these 2008 seats over the earlier models that had red center cushions with the black faced bolsters.

It's interesting seeing some of the cars that weren't offered here in the States, but were available in Canada that sometimes pop up on craigslist searches here in the Pacific Northwest such as the Apex Blue Pearl base model S2Ks. I'd imagine that you sure don't see those very often (those and the GPW over blue S2Ks).
