Thread: New Car - 2008 Honda S2000

  1. #1

    New Car - 2008 Honda S2000

    I was in the market for an Evo X but the 2015 model year left a lot to be desired and they were asking premium for one. I decided against it since i already have a IX which i love. I had an S2000 before i bought my Evo and i missed it. I decided to get one again and began my search in the beginning of the summer. I was dead set on finding a 2006+ AP2 in white/tan interior but i would've had better luck finding unicorns, those cars don't pop up to often.

    Last weekend a buddy of mine told me about an 08 Laguna Blue S2000 with 51k miles on the odometer at the local dealer and i ran over and checked it out. She was in great shape and even came equipped with the OEM Hardtop. Bone stock with a clean carfax. Checked the engine for leaks, test drove her hard and decided to buy it. Worked the numbers and signed the deal.

    Overall i am very pleased with the purchase. The car is a lot of fun to drive and the value of these cars still fetches a premium. It can use a good detail as well as 60k service.

    As for plans I am not planning on doing much to this car. Mods don't really add much horsepower as the F20/F22 is pretty much optimized and if power is really wanted i'd have to go with FI. Maybe a set of Ohlins DFV and Volk CE28's would do the trick.

    I had an 01 in the past but this 08 AP2 is loads torquier than the AP1... Actually makes daily driving better. The 9k redline was nice but i hardly ever take it up that high.

    I may track the car but its more of a weekend toy for me and to cruise around town in.

    My wife says its my midlife crisis car lol.

    Which is why i bought it. You dont see to many S2000's in this kind of condition and if u do they still demand a premium.

    Pretty much it for me.... Maybe an intake and exhaust since the S2000 sounds so awesome.

    Damn right. ^^ my buddy let me car sit his for about two years. Had Kw's, HKS exhaust, password intake. It handled & sounded really nice. Sometimes I enjoyed driving that more than my 9.

    Oh yeah his was an 07 AP2, black on black. It's turbo'd now. He took it away from me :'(

    Congrats Allen! Wonderful example of a preowned S2k.
    Looks like it has every possible option ever made.......front lip, rear spoiler, optional 5-spoke wheels, and the best one, the oem hardtop.
    Well done.

    I miss my AP1 still.

    Congrats! That thing is beautiful. I always wished I could get one but with a baby on the way, no way now! Lol. Very nice S2K though, thanks for sharing.
