it's also the wrong time to buy a s2k - most good s2k are stored right now.. Harder for them to stay minty fresh if they are being daily driven year round

Why would it be risky to buy one from the states? I have purchased my last 4 cars from the states. I never buy a car without having it inspected by an independent shop who takes paint depth measurements for me. These are the kinds of comments that scare away people from taking advantage of the deals south of the border. I am currently in the PPI phase of a purchase for an 06 NFR with 7k miles for $21k with a clean carfax. If it the PPI with the bodyshop and mechanic goes through, then I have found my car. If not, no loss as I made the seller absorb the cost of the PPI. There are right and wrong ways of doing everything.

Amen brother. I imported my '06 NFR on my own, a couple years back. It had only 13k miles when I got it. Picked it up for around $20k. Easy as pie, and totally worth it.

I will be selling my '05 S2000 in the spring. New Formula Red w/19,000 kms. 100% stock, no winters, no rain. The interior still smells like new leather. The car is currently in storage. You can definitely find a cheaper car in the USA - but you get what you pay for. PM me if interested.

I got my 08 Honda certified S2000 in Michigan with warranty for $22k at the time the dollar was above par nice purchase for $21K. Low mileage as well.

What website do you guys use to search s2k inventory in the States?
I'm looking at purchasing one for myself too. Must be AP2 in RED / WHITE color.

I used a global Craigslist search engine. Selected all the north-eastern and great lakes states, and away I went. Got my 06' from Boston a couple years back. Around $20k for a minty fresh, 13k mile ap2. USA ftw.
