Get the dark silver one, that's my fav.... :D
Or the red one is really hot, and the yellow one is nice and flashy, but the black one is so clean and sleek looking..... :hehe:

The dark silver isn't available anymore...

Make sure you don't pay some rediculous dealer markup! I know that somewhere floating around the internet is a list of Honda dealers that have committed to selling S2000s at MSRP.

:( They don't have that dark silver anymore? Why? Oh well, guess I'll have to buy a used one. ;)


Anyways, from the "official Honda site", the MSRP for the '02 S2K:

"S2000: 2.0 liter, 240-horsepower, 16-valve DOHC VTEC™ engine, anti-lock braking system (ABS), 16" alloy wheels, AM/FM stereo CD player with clock, leather-trimmed seats and steering wheel, an Immobilizer Theft-Deterent System, a remote entry system, high-intensity discharge (HID) headlights, 6-speed manual transmission, electrically powered soft top and an engine start button to begin your journey.

MSRP
Manual Transmission: $32,400 "



*lol...never forget the fine print....*

"MSRP excluding tax, license, registration, $460 destination charge and options. Dealer prices may vary. "


haha

The dark silver was Silverstone Metallic, named after a racetrack in England. It was only available for the '00 and '01 model years

S2000 colors available for MY02:

they gave me $17,800 for my prelude

and the s2000 was 33,800, 1k over msrp... but the xtra from the lude more than brought it below ... so i'm all happy with it.. good deals all around can't wait to play with it on tue.. .. but not hard.. have to be nice

Now dont get me wrong, S2000's are sweet cars but before u pick 1 up test drive a Bmw M roadster. I have drivin both and there is no comparison between the 2. The bimmer wins hand down in every category (remember guys my opinion ;) I dont want to start a flame war :argue: ). U can get a nice 98-99 with low miles for the same price as the honda . Oh well good luck bro with whatever u get.

I have an 02 Suzukz blue metallic with 6800 miles for sale and will sell at a resonable price.

Love the car but my 16 year old is driving now and the family wants an SUV.

I'm sure he wouldn't mind driving the S2000...:)

I love that Silverstone Mika also. That is why I painted my civic the same color.

Get the silver but whatever you do don't get it with the red interior.. I have a 2002 S2000 silver with the black leather interior and a friend of mine liked mine so much he went out and bought the silver with the RED interior because that's all the dealership had left with the silver... He kept it for about two months and then sold it, he said all that red screaming at him all the time made him sick... lololol... I will have to say that when I sat in his it made me a lil woozy as well... Sorry if I hurt anyones feeling... This is just my opinion so don't start yelling at me.. :))

I have an 02 Sebring/Red and i love it! Then again, im partial to the classic roadsters that were silver and red, but i think it just makes this car even more unique than it already is. The Blue interior on the suzukas tho, that makes me queezy!
