I've got a 2001 S2000 that I am considering selling, and I want to know what these cars sell for used... Mine has 1,850 miles, is Blk/blk and is completely stock. It is still a brand new car in every way, in fact I never even V-TEC'd the car untill 800 miles, what can I expect to get for it? Am I crazy to want more than 29,500 for it? I live in Philadelphia so maybe that might change the price due to the local market, but any ideas here?

Don't take anything under $30k for it..... your car did not depreciate more than $3000 after 1850 miles.....

 

Seriously with that many miles people are going to be hesitant to buy the car from you. You are lucky though because I am in the market for an s2k and just for you I will throw down 100 dollars on the table. Take it or leave it

 

Why would anyone be hesitant to buy it with that many miles? I bought it in June of 2001 and I have driven it on weekends since then, and I am ready for a change. It has Less that 2k miles, whats so bad about that???

 

Believe it or not, people will be worried that it's a lemon. I mean, how many people do you know sell their cars after only 2,000 miles of use... not very many. Also, since your car will be priced competitively against a new S2000, people will also be hesistant unless you give 'em a great deal. Just my 2 cents.

 

Man i woulden't settle for anyless then 31,000.oo .. I heard your supposed to baby the car for the first 1000 miles.. i bought mine with it already broken in and some mdos were done to it.. But you could probley get msrp for what yopu got cause i see alot of new S2000 marked way up above msrp..... goodluck and keep us posted...

BTW - are you moving up the chain like i have???

 

Well, you're not gonna get MSRP for it. Why would someone buy a used 2001 for MSRP when they can get a 2002 for MSRP? Maybe if you were in Cali but since you're in the northeast like me the demand isn't as strong. There was a used 2000 going for 26,900 locally here with 22k miles on it, it did sell pretty quick though. Granted, it had more miles and is older but that gives you a floor value. I'd guess you'd be able to get high 20's, probably close to 30 but not much more. There is a new 2001 with 3k worth of accessories at a local dealer with a price of 31,495 on it.

No offense man but you're gonna take a hit on it selling it so soon after buying it. Just the way cars are. The S2K is a great car but don't expect it to go up in value or even to keep it's MSRP value.

 

It is just like an ad I saw for a 95 NSX that my brother is interested in.
It is legit, clean carfax but only driven once a month, 5K miles and the oil has only been changed ONCE, three years ago.
It it probably still have a solid engine and it is all good but this is one of those cases where too little miles can raise questions/doubts.
