You'll be waiting a while. It's clear the S2000 is one of the crown jewels in the eyes of automotive enthusiasts the world over. What's most interesting to me is how it came to be viewed as this coveted and highly sought commodity. It's like the lore of the S2000 grows and gains as time goes on and the values track to that. Back in my Honda days (early 2000s) I vividly remember the S2000 as respected, fun, and capable, but there was no feverish obsession. I knew a few people who had them who liked them well enough but even they never thought of the car as "special". I drove the S2000 for an extended drive back in 2005 and I wasn't blown away. It was fine and I generally enjoyed it but I never would've thought some 15-20 years later they would be selling for a premium to the original MSRP. Even high mileage, ragged out S2000s are still commanding a decent sum. Anyhow, it's been fascinating to watch how this one played out.
