Are you looking for a honda s2000 for sale?

Q: Honda S2000?
I am thinking about getting a Honda S2000 probably around year 2000-2003 because that’ll be the most I can afford. What are some strong points and some weak points about it. Like maintenance or handling, or power, or gas, or anything like that.
Yeah the space is fine because I took out my backseats in my civic and built a plexiglass speaker wall so I can only hold two people now anyway. my civic has a b18c1 w/ header, exhaust, intake manifold, cai, and stage 2 clutch. How do you think it would do against an s2k? I want something with around the same amount of power or more so that’s why. If you don’t have a clue don’t worry about it but thanks so far.

A: PRO:
-Nice looking car
-Not that many people have it
-puts out wonderful performance for a an NA 4-banger
-wonder suspension out the door
-Girls dig it (Only if u don’t put the top down when they have their hair all done and nice….trust me…haha)
-PERSONALLY, I like how all the climate controls are placed around the steering wheel, very easy to navigate around while you’re driving.
-This car gives you options, hard top or soft top depending on season.
-shifting is very precise compard to most cars.
-Can’t beat the sound of hitting VTEC
Con:
-To be honest, its a little pricey for a convertible…I mean it still is a $34K car…not cheap.
-It’s a nervous ride when it rains really hard and you don’t have the proper tires on…my advice…be super careful and just be wary about weather changes, the stock tires that come with your brand new S2k don’t have the capacity to handle super duper hard rain. Lots of ppl have lost their S2k”s for this reason.
-It sucks when some of my friends need a ride home, but I can only take one passenger…so I have to take multiple trips at times…not a big deal if you don’t have this problem, but i have lots of friends with no cars…poor college students…haha.
-thieves want to steal your seats….and than key your car after they steal it cause its such a nice car…not kewl.

for me?

also do you know any good web-sites that has nice Honda S2000 in the area of San Antonio. but around $0 – $ 22,000

Q: Should I get a Honda S2000 and start racing it or should i choose another car?
I am looking for a car that i can work on or mechanics if needed and start racing it. I love the way the Honda S2000 looks but I was wondering what are some opinions on this car. Should i stick with the Honda S2000 or choose another car?

A: You also should compare car insurance quotes for cars before buying one, for example here – carquotes.sinfree.net

Q: Can a Honda S2000 with proper snow tires survive Canada’s winter?
I’m planning to buy a Honda S2000, but i live in Markham, Ontario, im really concerned if i can drive it in the winter cause i live alone so i wont buy another for winter.

A: It definitely isn’t the ideal winter transportation but some nice fat snow tires….some sand bags or other heavy items in the trunk…. and as said…keeping the rpms low should go a long way to helping you drive on paved snowy roads. On unpaved roads though..with more than 3 inches or so of snow…..your going to have a clearance problem as those cars sit very low to the ground. If you can afford an S2000, you should probably go ahead and buy yourself a nice cheap winter beater for the snowfalls.

Q: How much is a “2000 Honda S2000″ with less than 3500 miles worth?
My boss has a 2000 Honda S2000 that has less than 3,500 miles on it.
He is the original owner, and has parked the car in a heated garage.

We are curious to see how much this would be worth to people.

Original tires, red, and no modifications.

A: Blue book say 11k but they really would go for 13k-14k I have seen 00 with more mile go for 13k.If i were you i would get an 01 or 02 unless this S2 is showroom new. the newer s2000 have glass rear window better tune ECUs and little fix here and there.

Q: how to make a honda s2000 faster and perform better?
i have a 2000 honda s2000 and i wanna drag race it, now i alraedy know its not a good car for drag racing but i dont care. i only have 3000 right now so i want to know what all i can do to it to make it faster and better for drag racing with that amount? in the future i will be either getting a turbo kit or supercharger, but that will be in a year.

A: If you are SERIOUS about going turbo then the ONLY things you should buy right now are a new 3″ exhaust system, and a AEM EMS. This will be around $2,500. Now you do not need to buy a header or intake due to the simple fact that a turbo system will delete these from your engine. The exhaust will already be on there and the AEM EMS will not only give you power now (after a good tune) but also after the turbo is installed. A stock S2000 (ap1) makes about 205-215 rwhp on the dyno in stock form, after a good tune on the EMS with JUST the exhaust I have seen 240-250 rwhp. this is quite impressive as it is around a 30+ whp gain from stock form.

Q: How much does a Honda s2000 cost starting now?
I’m looking forward to buying a Honda s2000 or Mitzubishi Lancer evo VIII. I want to know how much would the s2000 would cost right now. used or new.

A: honda s2000 depending on the year 2000-2002 cost around 11-13 k newer versions always rank 15 or more.

Q: How a car 2.0cc[Honda s2000] is possible to produce 240hp without being super/turbocharged?
How a car 2.0cc[Honda s2000] is possible to produce 240hp without being super/turbocharged
How civic type-r provides 201hp with the 2.0l engine while s2000 provides 40HP! more?What makes this huge difference on same cc engines from same mechanics?

A: the beauty of honda engineering. the more amazing part is the 9000rpms it can rev up to before redlining. thats more amazing

Q: honda s2000?
is it possible to make this a 4 seater? like if i took out the ragtop could it put 2 more seats in?

A: no.

Q: Is it safe to install a cold air intake on a 2008 Honda S2000?
Would there be any adverse effects, would it reduce the life of the engine? Which, if any, is the best cold air intake kit for 2008 Honda S2000?

A: CAIs improve horsepower and fuel mileage. They have a different filter type, which could be less efficient than the factory version, but I chose to install a CAI on my Acura CL because I believe the increase in performance and mileage overcomes the potential slight increase in wear.

Strongly recommend a name-brand (AEM, Ingen, K&N) – Suggest you get on a users forum to get more information.

Q: will a honda s2000 be a good car to start with?
Please tell me, honda s2000 are my favorite car! and i was wondering if i should get it for my first car?

A: You should also consider that such a car may be expensive to insure. Check your insurance rates before buying one, for example here – carinsurance.deep-ice.com

Q: How much is a Honda S2000 worth?
I have a 2001 Honda S2000. It has about 50k miles. Hard and soft tops. K&N cold air and many other mods i’m not sure of. It has what i believe is called a sports package. It also has built in front and rear radar. I am the 2nd owner. It has been babied from the start. If you could just tell me what it is worth. Yes i have checked KBB, i just wanted to get some opinions.

A: I’ve got a 2000 S2k. 40k miles. Tein suspension, Toda Racing internals, Invidia exhaust, we’re talkin’ some hardcore stuff here… mine is Silverstone with red Cobra Misano seats and lowered seat rails, sitting on a set of 17-inch Enkei WDM’s on Potenzas, carbon fiber fenders, hood and trunk – all of which were painted over to look stock – and a high-quality Amuse replica bumper. All told I’m somethin’ like 10k into the car with mods, probably a bit more, since it was all professionally done at some of the best shops in the Bay Area.

I put it up for sale on Craigslist asking 20k for it (which is a massive loss), just as kind of a feeler for it since I don’t actually WANT to get rid of it. All the offers I got were 10k which is just friggin’ stupid. Waited a couple weeks and put it back up with a “throw me some offers” header, and got offers from 5k to 15k.

Now is NOT the time to sell your car if you can avoid it; you’ll take a big hit on whatever it is, but especially sports cars. It’s a buyer’s market, which worked great for me and my wife when we bought an ‘09 WRX STI, but it sucks if you’re trying to sell something you’ve already got.

Q: can i install a radio to a honda s2000 cr?
im just curious, if i got a honda s2000 CR, is it possible that i can install a radio system to it? cause the s2000 cr doesnt come with a radio.

A: You might have to buy the dash piece from a S2000 with the radio
