What about this, maybe if it was an Imola?

He must have parted out all the good stuff. No way you have a stock engine bay with a full Voltex body kit.

I have a hard time buying a car expecting to make money out of it. I buy a car expecting to drive the HECK out of it.

That's exactly what I've done for both vehicles that I currently own. My g/f is always wondering why I just hop on and off the 401 and run back and forth between Scarborough to Mississauga on a whim - I just don't care - the drive is all I care aboot.

Especially if you have a S2000, its made for your pleasure.
its ribbed for her pleasure, but everyone wins!

This is a good example of what I was talking about with modified S2000. It is going to need a very specific type of buyer, because of the unique look. Now, I don't know exact prices, but I if I recall correctly, Voltex is a JDM company so it won't be cheap. I'm guessing the body kit and wing cost him $10,000 or so.

There are some problems here though. For guys like me, we prefer no body mods and original paint. Then there is the price. It's pretty common knowledge that you don't usually get your money back with mods unless of course you find a buyer who is willing to pay for it. For $40,000 you could build your own any way you liked instead. It's going to be a tough sell at that price.

If I was gong to buy a modified S2000, I would rather start fresh with a decent shape AP1 ($16,000) thrown on some Bilstien PSS ($1300) Maybe a supercharger kit ($5000) some New wheels and tires ($3000) and a big brake kit ($1200) and I'd still only be at $26,500...

I totally agree. You can buy a cheaper s2000 in excellent condition and customize it the way you want rather than the final product of another person's project. For this S2000 in particular, you're really paying $40000 for body mods. I assume most people would rather spend that money on performance mods instead.

aaaand lower mileage JDM cars can now be imported as well- what that will do to the market price remains to be seen.

Thought you listed it for about $26K not long ago, could be wrong though?
