WTF?

After the high demand of the first year you could buy them for $29,900. For that price it was faster than the BMW Z3, Mercedes Benz SLK, Audi TT, Porsche Boxster, Ford Mustang GT and Chevy Camaro Z28. Basically faster than anything cheaper than a Corvette. So please go on about how it was overpriced.

It was the only RWD lightweight sports car with a race suspension and hand built engine under $50k.

And for the 10000000th time, you can't play the stupid "adjusted for inflation" price game. How much would a 2000 Civic Si cost today, adjusted for inflation? A hell of a lot more than what a 2015 Civic Si sells for, that's what.



I'm not gonna argue that Honda let this special car wither on the vine, but that's on them, not the car. MSRP might have been $34,500 for this car in 2009, but nobody paid that price. In 2008 I purchased my 2007 S2000 with 4800 original miles for $21,500.00 And there were plenty of other ones for sale for similar money. Their resale didn't spike till after the car was discontinued. Funny how that works.
They were over $50k CAD in Canada back in 2008/2009 sadly. My dad was about to purchase one of the really rare 2009 Canadian models but ended up with a Z4M for a little tiny bit more. Glad I have one now though, paid $12k CAD for my AP1.
