I think it’s more people now just only caring about stats and not how a car feels at the limit, my buddy for example when we talk about me wanting a s2000 says that it’s way too weak and to get a c5 corvette and to me that just is 🤢 when you compare it to the s2000. Both good sports cars but better at different things, for my type of driving a s2000 seems far more fun then a corvette that will just roast the tires everytime I wanna get on it.

I was pretty lucky to pick one up right as the pandemic was kicking into overdrive and scored a 88k 04 for under 17k. Almost a year later and I'm seeing high mileage, 125k+, ap1's going for well over $20k. I don't think I could get the $30k yet, but I'm glad to have such an awesome car parked in my garage.

S2000 owner here. After watching your GTR and Supra videos, I was afraid this might come soon and sure enough it did. I bought my 2002 AP1 with 92500 miles in 2010 for $11000. 11 years later, it has 135000 miles (though it's my only car, I don't drive much). With the way the prices are going, I can probably sell it now and still make money... but I'd rather not. This was a great, true enthusiast's car that could be had for cheap but sadly no longer. For years, I've been trying to get my friend to get one and he almost pulled the trigger a few times (even got his wife's permission)... unfortunately, after all the years of waiting, the ship's sailed with the price being like this now. Some S owners are happy about the price appreciation... but I'm not in that camp. I had always planned on getting another S (newer and lower mileage) after I was done with my current one. Looks like that's not going to be feasible or sensible now.

From what I can see I found basically the best deal in the country considering its super clean inside and out and I owned it for half its life already. they are always going to slowly increase in price

I've noticed your other "Here's Why You Can't Afford..." videos pop up in my feed, but I never checked them out because of the cheesy click bait titles. I only watched this one because I own a S2000 and tend to watch content related to these cars. I'm glad I did as you've done a really nice job with this video. It's actually one of the more interesting, informative videos regarding the S2000 that I've seen. As far as S2000 prices are concerned, I'd note that prices for all sorts of things have been thrown way out of whack by the pandemic, not just classic/enthusiast cars (the S2000 certainly isn't alone in this trend) or even used cars for that matter. It's also important to note that these cars are more than capable of racking up some serious mileage - a S2000 with 150K miles still has a lot of life left in it. These cars definitely represent the end of an era given Honda's announcement of their plans to get out of the internal combustion game. Every automaker out there seems to understand that this Net Zero push is going to dramatically change the automotive landscape. While it's anyone's guess as to just when the ICE will be banned from our roads, if there was ever a time to enjoy driving a car like the S2000, it would seem to be now.

My guy. Here's the issue that I have. While I like your video of why you can't afford a Skyline NSX etc, your last video is literally titled: Buy these JDM cars now before it's TOO LATE. This completely goes against everything I thought you stood against about some cars getting so expensive, now you're contributing to the problem. If shit keeps going like the way it is with Doug Demuro, Hagerty and Magnus Walker, Fitment Industries, Donut Media and with the aid of social media like Facebook and Instagram, all of these cars including any non performance variants of the same car or some cars in general are going to get so expensive that the average person may as well not drive. Shit used to be so affordable, everything's getting more expensive nowadays, and we certainly really don't need anymore cars to go up stupidly now. Also I don't understand why people buy cars as an investment. Buy a car because you love it not because you want to make money off it in the future. Also makes me laugh when people say, 'appreciating asset Lol. Assets is something that put money in your pocket every month. Cars don't do that. Its a liability. I like your videos man. You do extensive research and I like the way you explain things and your style of presenting but please don't contribute to the madness man. And please DO NOT make anything on German cars.

The things I make videos on have been reported on a thousand times before me and will continue to be documented an infinite times after. I merely take information from the internet and put it in one place. As far as the titles go, well they're provocative by design, but as you're well aware the information in the video is just simple trend analysis.

I was actually shocked when I found about this auction result. I called my insurance company to raise my stated value coverage on my CR just in case.

Honda needs to keep making more meme tier cars. Their vtec engines are just too good for them to move on from their internal combustion motoring heritage. They need to keep building efficient gas cars for passenger vehicles to fight EV’s and keep using their formula 1 technology for special cars like their type R’s, Type S, and Type V. The time to pick up a CR is probably just too late now. Shouldn’t have waited to pick one up 3 years ago. Definitely big sad.

I bought my 2004 S2000 back in 2008 for $26,000 CAD. It's currently got about 70,000kms on it and they are selling for $30,000 - $40,000 CAD here. Not bad when you drive a car for 16 years and it's worth more now then what you paid for it all those years ago. I'll never part with it though as it's a beautiful car to drive and always puts a smile on my face.

I have a 2007 S2000 in Laguna Blue, purchased new in Jan 2008 with three mikes on the odometer, all stock (radio died and was replace but kept the original dead radio) clear title and clear car fax - current miles 13,131. YES - thirteen thousand one hundred thirty one miles as of today!

Definitely a challenge to find a nice and clean s2000 in today's day and age. I have been wanting one for 4 years and the prices kept going up over the years. A few months back, I narrowed down my search to a 2006 and up, clean title, 2 or 3 owners, stock or as stock as possible, below 100k miles, in new formula red, and with a budget of $25k. I searched pretty much the entire United States and after a few months of searching, I finally found "the one". It checked off all the boxes except for being a hair above 100k miles. The seller was letting it go for a great price and I just couldn't say no to the deal. I drove 10 hours out of state to test drive the car and drove it back home the same day. Best decision ever!

Only 50 CR Delete models (no AC/radio) were made, making it one of the rarest production cars of the last two decades and the rarest S2K. The remaining 649 CR models had AC and radio, which is why a Delete model fetches a premium. The BB CR sold with radio and AC was not one of ten, but one of over 200. BB is the color most produced color and the vast majority of all CR models had radio and AC. See S2KI for production numbers, etc. Cheers.

@@albonfilms Awesome 👏🏼 FD3S here we come. Oops...now, it’s almost impossible to find a clean unmolested one.

The S2k was my dream car growing up and after graduating college in 17’ I snagged a 00 with 55k for $15,000. Every now and then I consider selling it, I rarely drive the car and living in New England it’s stored half the year. but I don’t think I’d be able to afford another one later, I guess I’ll have to keep her for eternity lol

Just got mine for $12k USD in the UK. And that’s high out here. They are very underpriced out here

Just bought a New Formula Red AP1 and I love everything about this car, If you are looking to buy one I say go for it before they get too expensive It’s definitely one of the coolest cars ever built to come from Japan.

He started making videos about cars we all loved but knew that we couldn't afford but it hurt to see possibly attainable dream cars in this series too

The cluster is inspired from their F1 cars. Specifically the McLaren MP4/6

We want “Why you can’t afford a Mazda RX-7” please *still wating 😁

So even if u can buy the steering wheel on the other side is a good buy?

Been waiting on this one for a while

@Artemio Medina my ex girls grandpa he bought it new in 2004.. I guess that’s the only thing I got out of the relationship lol

I still have my 02 S2K but it's got 108K miles on it. I was thinking of maybe selling but not anymore.

You need to check Australian prices! We had a couple over $100,000AUD :) Mine is valued at $80,000AUD. AP2 and Grand Prix White ☺️

Love ur vids bro

I guess I timed it well but it was purely by accident. I just wanted a weekend car so I bought a 2002 spa yellow with 74k miles for $15k a few years ago. Ended up not driving it much so now it has 75k miles. Had to put a lot of money into it to get it sorted. I'd probably break even overall.

Bought my Silverstone AP1 5 months ago for $6500. 180k on the clock running and driving. And its got a lot more to give. Been restoring her since. I dont think ill be able to sell this one due to the fact i wont pay what theyre asking for them now. 🤙🏽

Donut media made a video about the s2000 a while back and they said the double a arm suspension was first used on the accord and than the prelude in the 80’s before being used on most of their other cars. Also it was 247ph 11.7.1 for the Jdm/uk spec and 240hp 11.5.1 us spec

Got mine in October 😁 03 AP1 redline heaven

got a steal on one early this year right before they REALLY took off

Bought mine in truly excellent condition completely stock with 218k miles for 11k this summer

Affordable ones can definitely be found. Just got my 2002 AP1 for just 17k. Clean title and only 56k miles!

I couldn’t agree more. I’ve had my July 2001 built Type SH Prelude since ‘08. Very underrated and undervalued currently. Bought a 2005 S2K 6 weeks ago with high miles for $11.2k bc I saw the price trending upwards & It was the last clean title, OEM, never modded S2K in the country for that price. Now I’m realizing the SW20 MR2 T-tops may be next.

@@driftking4AGE if you’re interested in one I highly recommend. I absolutely love mine, and drive it as much as I can. Bought mine for $16,000 with 46,000 miles on it. I went with a JDM one just because I wanted a slick top but regardless the car is fantastic. I want an S2K but with the prices going up it’s getting further out of reach for me.

This channel has crushed all my dreams.

It was also the 1st "non emergency" vehicle in Japan to wear red paint (white was also reserved]). A fact I was told 2 decades ago, and have never been able to find proof of it on the Internet.. Anywhere. I brought it up to the trainers that Honda sends around to the dealerships. One said that she thought she had heard that before, but couldn't remember where. A week later she sent me a text with photos from the book "Dreams into Action". The chapter is called "The car is going to be red!" I originally wanted a black one, and that was the main reason I settled on red. When I brought it home, it tripped 1800 miles as I pulled her into the garage. My girlfriend thought I was crazy when I told her that I was going to sell this car one day for 6 digits. With 16K on it, it's worth 45 to 50 now.. And she no longer thinks that I'm crazy.
