Drop the top and mash the gas and Honda's S2000 delivers an exhilarating driving experience. This twoseat roadster is a technological statement from a company that has no peer in the realm of extracting big horsepower from smalldisplacement engines. The Honda S2000 is similar in size and basic concept to the Mazda Miata. Both are pure sports cars: frontengine, reardrive, droptop, few frills. The difference is that Honda's roadster costs about a third again as much the Miata, and offers performance that makes the Mazda seem tame. In fact, the S2000's performance rivals that of much more expensive sports cars, including the BMW Z3 3.0, MercedesBenz SLK, and the Porsche Boxster. The big news for 2002 is a new glass rear window with defroster, which replaces last year's plastic rear window that could be creased and distorted. Also new for 2002: Honda has improved the transmission for smoother and quieter shifts, upgraded the stereo, added chrome rings around the tail lights, and introduced minor refinements to make the interior more convenient.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 2002 Honda S2000, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 2002 Honda S2000 for less money than when it was new. If the 2002 Honda S2000 was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.
The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 2002 Honda S2000 is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.
Another dynamic that will play into the purchase price is the resale value. A used vehicle with a high resale value will obviously cost you more. It is expected that the 2002 Honda S2000 will have a good resale value. This assumes that the 2002 Honda S2000 is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
