He actually got paid to ride his car!

That's what happens with low mileage old cars. Prices have actually been dropping on higher mileage cars. There's an 07 near me for $19k with 70k miles, a couple years ago (when I sold my S2K) it would have been worth $25k+ easily.

It's on Jalopnik!!!

it even has a picture of a Hongburglar stealing the hardtop off of it!!!

It seems the company's website shows they do a lot of BMW's and Mercedes Benz's... I wonder how many of our forum members from the area have gotten stuff done there... well after this hopefully not anymore

Karma working at its best. What a douche canoe.

The yelp page is comedy, hope these d-bags get whats coming to them.

That gif on Jalopnik = gold

looks like a troll FB page was set up too

As a former s2000 owner this really chaps my ass. Hope the buyer gets what he pays for.

On a separate note, I had my s2k for 6 years, added nearly 100K miles. Sold it for 6K less than I had originally paid for. Really wish I kept the car though. Still the best car I ever owned.

Same here. After long list of cars, S2K still tops my list for bang for the buck.
Can't forget the night when I broke in and entered first VTEC with open top at night with fresh HKS exhaust. I must say I averaged 5k rpm in that car all day

Sigh, i wish I would have bought an S like I always wanted too...

FL335 · 03-17-2016, 08:10 PM

Wow. This whole thing has been great entertainment. I feel bad for the buyer as he did all of the right things...Hong is gonna get his, no doubt.

Well, if you drove below 5K, you were doing it wrong! I agree, if I ever come into more space with more expendable money, love to pick another one up as a weekend car. I really wish Honda would make another.

Man, people can be such fuckbags sometimes.

It's nice to see it's coming to a sweet, karma-filled end for the seller.

PandaM3 · 03-17-2016, 11:21 PM

The only thing kinda odd about this is... What where the terms agreed on via email or text? Why no screen shots of the emails or texts?

eluded · 03-17-2016, 11:48 PM

I too loved my s2000 until too much VTEC caused retinal detachment

MarkM5 · 03-18-2016, 12:38 AM

Soooo many S2000 are track rats. Know someone who has gone through 5 of them. They are perfect for their class. Not really sprising they are going up in value. Personally always preferred the type R to the s2000, both great cars.

NickyC · 03-18-2016, 01:03 PM

$33k for an S2000.

lmfao

That's ok, similar mileage and year 335 is probably only $20K. They're only more fun to drive too.
