The invoice on 2008 s2000 is $3155. So you paid $3055 I am guessing? And then a lease? I would be curious to know your exact figures but that sounds very good so far.   Regards, Joe

Replying to: luvaudi19 (Jul 07, 2008 1:50 pm) Congratulations on the new S!   We should stop calling it the "base" model since it is not some stripper model Yaris or something . Just call it an S2000 and if someone buys the CR they can say they have an S2000 CR .   I still do get a good number of comments about my S and every once in a while someone will call it a Miata (ouch). When I had the 01 I really got a lot of questions and comments in traffic, at the gas pump, and in parking lots. A lot of them were from "Honda folks" that wanted to look at the S2000. They are not rare cars on the road now (as much) and for sure not hard to get from a dealer, so a lot of that has died down.   I noticed on my latest insurance that the 08 S costs MORE to insure than the 08 G37 which is something of a shock given the HP and price of each. I am guessing more S2000s are falling into the hands of folks who are wrecking them and driving up the insurance rates for us all.   Dennis

The S also costs more to insure than a BMW 135. Given just the cost differential in parts, this seem to be wrong. But, as noted above, driving histories in this case apppear to trump all other factors. Replies to this message: dwynne (Jul 11, 2008 6:08 pm)

Replying to: bonvivant (Jul 11, 2008 3:44 pm) The S used to be cheap (relatively) to insure - they were expensive and hard to get (at first) and did not wind up in the hands of folks who had a lot of accidents. Even used S2000s were spendy at first. As more and more became available and used ones dropped in price they fell into the hands of folks who have more accidents. Also, the S2000s seat is prized as a theft item to be fitted into Civics and such and often they cut the top to get in and both the top and the seats are silly high priced.   When I have some time next week I will give my agent a call just to see what they say, but I am guess that all these factors combined to raise the rates for everyone.   Dennis

Hi guys,   Just thought I would post that I picked up my Chicane Silver S2000 tonight. 2008 with 14 miles. Drove her home with top down on a warm night. Journey started when several s2000s showed up this Spring on the Acura used car lot. I got the bug then and started researching the S2000 and found our what a neat car it was. Also, that the local mechanic I use said that it would be no problem to service and repairs would be no more expensive than your average Honda. I test drove some used ones and made some inquiries for used but in end decided to get a new one because I usually keep for awhile and was worried at how some of the S2000s were being driven (most people treat the S2000 well but it is hard to know). Was able to purchase with 0.9% financing and couldn't be happier with treatment I received at MotorWerks in Barrington. Good luck to all!   Joe Replies to this message: dwynne (Jul 12, 2008 1:51 pm) vinnyny (Jul 13, 2008 5:09 am)

Replying to: legendguy1 (Jul 11, 2008 10:20 pm) Congratulations on the new S! That Chicane silver is nice, if I did have to have another NFR that make have been my choice.   Dennis

#372 of 416 Insurance Rates by accelerator Jul 14, 2008 (5:06 am)
I contacted my agent, and for me (married, 35, home owner, clean record):   BMW is and increase of + $21.62 over 6 months. Ininity G37 is a decrease of - $9.11 over 6 months.   I selected the BMW convertible version for this price quote. The G37 is only available as a coupe so that actually makes sense to me that it is cheaper. I'm curious what your rates changes would be. Replies to this message: dwynne (Jul 14, 2008 9:28 am)
#373 of 416 Re: Insurance Rates [accelerator] by dwynne Jul 14, 2008 (9:28 am)
Replying to: accelerator (Jul 14, 2008 5:06 am) I checked with my agent and the S2000 now carries a higher "IRG" number than the G37 so the insurance is more. In my case it is $5.36 per month higher. I am an "old man", married, multi-car discount, multi-line discount, safe driver discount, etc.   Both of the cars are covered the same, the only difference is the rating (risk factor) which makes the S cost more.   The S used to be cheaper to insure than my other new cars like the RX-8 (gone) and the M5 (gone, but no duh there) but is now my most expensive. I guess the single same model name out since MY2000 has now found its way into the hands of the unsafe drives and driven up our rates.   As my agent said "nothing you or I can do about that"   Dennis
