I should say, I'm in the buying market for an S2000. I've been checking Pistonheads, Autotrader and EBay everyday and there have been a few that have been reduced (even dealers) over the last couple of months. Which is strange to see in summer time.

Now I'm Honda through and through, but when you look at other 2 seater convertibles: new shape 3.0 Z4, MX5 etc. You get a lot more for your money which could turn someone who just wants a nice two seater for £12,000.

They are still not a Honda S2000.

I love the S2000 but it's certainly not worth what people are asking for them.

The mega low miles/late stuff has returned to new money from the run out

The market was inflated before the summer, in expectation that prices would continue to grow. I think we are about where we should be now.

6-7k for pre face
7-9k face lift
9k+ for low miles

Low mileage examples can still be over inflated IMO. If its one thing Honda do, its reliability, so higher miles should not be an issue.

The more prices rise, the better it is for us, owners!
They are getting rarer every day as they get into the hands of chavs and 19 year olds who can't drive....

Good ones have always been rare. When I was looking 6 years ago almost every one I saw had poor quality modifications and/or was in poor condition.
