Weather spending 25k on a new frs and 25k on a used s2000 your still spending 25k! With this said it doesn't matter the sticker price of the s2000, instead, you should ask yourself; which car is better for 25 thousand dollars. a modern 2013 frs, or the dated design of the s2000?

Folks like me will never buy a used car. You can't turn back time on wear and tear. No matter how well a car is taken care of, metal bits and carpet/leather trim will wear down. Interior amenities like Bluetooth and touch screen navigation just aren't available on older cars. So even if price is the same, certain things that make day-to-day use more viable will be missing on an used (even if pristine condition) car.
25k on a twin includes a full warranty and zero wear and tear. 25k on anything else includes previous owner(s) with unknown maintenance record and operating condition of the car. I'm willing to pay that price to get that reduced wear and tear, even if I'm getting a car that's 8/10's as fast or aggressive.
