Yeah it does seem to value S2000's on the low side, mine especially being a 1999 model! Other cars I've had seem to be valued quite accurately though. I generally look at several price guides along with asking prices to get a good idea on real world values and go from there.

(Having said that I do think S2000's are well overpriced for what they are and their prices should be more inline with the link I gave)......

Hi mbd_75

So you think they are all overpriced at present, that's interesting as I am looking to buy my first one but they all seem to be much dearer don't they, is it because they are quite rare cars?

I reckon it's because he's looking at the trade / trade in value column as opposed to the retail. It's certainly not worth a meagre £6k.
