$27k for a twelve-year-old S2000? I know I'll sound like a homer here, but a used 987S is *a lot* more car than an S2000 and I would think $27k could get you a 987S.

It’s one of those cars you buy high, not put a lot of miles on, and then in 2-3y get most of it back. The 987s you cant say that about. It will keep loosing money every year even if you dont drive it.
The 981s is like that also where you wont lose much being the last flat 6 but that buy in for a nice low mile one is 46-50k where a nice 07 S2K is mid to high 20’s. Paying cash that is a HUGE difference while waiting to get my M2 comp.

Just throwing this out there.....not my thing but my friend's dad had one of these back in high school. It drives like you'd except a 90s corvette to drive and feel but it was crazy fast and handled really good. Plus there is that collector thing and value with the low miles

The ND observation FC made is really great. In the real world I think the ND is actually quicker than an S2000 and feels a lot nicer to drive. Low-mileage ND1s can be had for under $20k, and that's a screaming deal for what you get. |
