Honda S2000 cars go for a small fortune if they are collector quality.

This seems to have been very well bought. Good thing I missed it when it was listed.

I don’t get the S2000 hype. Someone please educate me. Is it the numbers made?

[pavulon]

Small, manual transmission, convertible sports car that revs like crazy with Honda engineering, build quality and reliability, accepts modifications from mild to wild yet still looks good today?

s2000s are great cars, but no longer worth the money. i raced one for years in STR, penskes, OS gieken, 17x9s ... the works. great cars. anyone who thinks the handling is tricky on the AP1s can't wheel. the car put down power like nothing ive ever driven RWD. it hooked and went.

that being said, a 10k miata can absolutly clean its clock in 99% of cases. my STS miata just ****ing smoked it, and thats doesnt even let you put in OS gikens, or even a torsen in back. a good NA6/8 with a torsen will out drive it. with almost any money into an NB your killing the s2000.

as good as they are to drive, there are so many ways to get that drive without the money. mr2 spyders would be another car that gives you similar drive for way less money, i also had one of those.

and if your spending good s2000 money (20-50k) ... the hard thing to do would be to not by a lotus Elise.

That would be a fun car, but I don't care for black interiors. Now if it were tan....

[pwd72s]

For me, if it were closer than the east coast. I like my '09 Bullitt Mustang, but at age 81, clutch work has become problematic for me. Since Bullitts are priced at a premium over the premium GT's, I'd then sell it to a guy on the Mustang board who wants it, buy this with the automatic, and have a car I'd drive more often. Current bid $12,250 with an hour to go. A loaded GT with only 24K miles?
Yep, somebody is going to end up with a hellofa nice driver for not much money..

(edit) Sold $18,300. A bit higher than I thought it would go. Still, bang for the bucks? Find something at that price better? Hmmmm.

[Scott Douglas]

Wow, only $18.3k?
That would be a fly in and drive it home type of car, even though it's an east coast car. Underside looked like it'd never seen salt or snow.
I hear you on the auto vs stick too. Wore my knee out driving sticks to work, stop 'n go on the 405.

You know......I already have enough toys, so wouldn't be interested in another from B.aT. or other platforms.

This may sound a bit goofy......but my '02 Silverado has made me happier over the past 19 years of ownership than any of my other vehicles. And now that it is getting long in the tooth......if anything.....I might be inclined to grab another as similar to it as possible, if one came up in better condition with lower mileage.

Here's one that just sold for ~$16K in September. Doesn't have the full 8' length bed, but I could live with that (I think ). I also like my White color....but guess I could live with this one in Light Pewter Metallic.

I’m still driving my 2500hd Silverado ‘03. Other than brakes it’s been a great truck.

Are your daytime driving lights still working? That's when you know the truck has been loved.

[Scott Douglas]

My friend Hank has one just like that in the auction site with 120k on it. Runs like a top, but he has the cloth interior and shell on the back.

[billybek]

I loved my 04 2500hd Sierra. Awesome truck to drive long distances.
It was a 6.0 vortec truck and it really didn't like pulling a trailer through the mountains.
If it was a duramax truck, I would still have it.

Its paint colour was Silver Birch. Truck never looked dirty.

I have to stop looking at these BaT threads....

[onewhippedpuppy]

As someone who listed and didn’t sell two cars on BAT, it’s a strange experience. In hindsight I probably over shared details without prompting and would have been better off letting the BAT commenters ask questions and probably miss 50% of the pertinent details. Personally I would never buy a car there unless it was close enough to personally inspect, just like all auctions they are designed to magnify your enthusiasm and minimize criticism. Also despite popular opinion, even high resolution photos can hide a LOT.
