Kelly Blue Book trade in value for an 01 (like mine) with average miles is 14 grand. That really sucks.

when the price goes down, who do you think will be able to afford s2000's? young kids meaning more accidents, insurance rates going up, etc..

Yup...saw a black S2000 over the weekend with chrome stickers on the side of it (some kind of tribal design or something), looked to be a young guy (probobly 18 years old or less) with a crooked visor...my eyes shed a tear because i think this is the future of the car now. Good thing to keep in mind though is that most of them dont know how to drive for ****, so they wont be on the road too long before their wrapped around a tree...lol. And since im already old enough to where that kind of thing doesnt effect my insurance...i say let 'em have it...
