Investment Potential
 

Hi, as a new member bear with me. I want to buy two Honda s2000 cars. one as an investment and one as my road car. The question is. Is the GT version a better potential investment than other models
many thanks

It doesn't seem like a great investment to buy a spare car.

The only difference between the GT and the Roadster is the detachable hard top, no other changes to the spec, so very little difference.

You will find most members will baulk at your idea, most members buy the S to drive not hide away in a garage. Sure the S is creeping up in value, but it ain't no Ferrari. Don't believe everything you read on MSN Auto Trader posts.

I say do it. You are likely to see 50-100% in next 10 years. What bank will give you that :) but the cost of keeping another s2000 will likely negate any profit. I currently have two s2000 but foe different reason. I live in two countries... and wanted s2000 everywhere iam at the time.

i would most certainly stockpile some oem parts, prices of those are going up and if you want to keep you s2000 you will need them..

Welcome.

Why would you ask for investment advice on a dedicated car forum?

You're hardly likely to hear that the investment potential of the S2000 is poor. More likely the opposite or is that want you want to hear?

Much better advice available on the technical aspects of the car.

There's a bubble about to pop in car values. Buy one and drive it. Don't view it as an investment.

Buy one and use / cherish it :tipwink:

I agree also. Honda's are meant to be driven and enjoyed.
It's a bonus that they appreciate in value but as mentioned, road tax/insurance and up keep negates the cost for it being an investment.

Even if I had an NSX-r (NA2) - uber rare. I would still drive it and enjoy it. (maybe not as much though) - lol

The GT is only a GT when it has the hard top. We've seen some advertised here lacking the HT which means they're just "base" models and nothing special.
