Are S2000s under-appreciated at the moment?

Honda NSX/S2000/Insight 1990-2004

Ask people to name three Japanese sports cars and the S2000 Honda rarely gets a mention.

That’s good news for buyers because the market is over-supplied with cars and negotiating an early version in excellent order down to $15,000 won’t be difficult.

The market in Japan for 3.0-litre V6 NSX coupes is overflowing and prices unless the car is exceptional will range between US$25,000 and $40,000.

These under the new ‘rolling 25-year’ import rule will soon become available to Australia.

The Type R NSX though is very rare and can crack US$200,000.

For collectors with a social conscience, an early ZE-1 Insight hybrid may appeal, but be quick.

Japanese prices already see-saw between US$4000 and $7000 but will rise.

S2000 1998-00 $18,110 [24] 

S2000 2001-04 $25,650 [10]

NSX 1990-94 $125,145 [4] 

Insight ZE-1 [N/S]
