I don't know how the pricing works in the U.S. but in B.C., a brand new S2000 runs for $49850 CDN but I can pick up a '00 Silverstone S2000 for $40-$42000 CDN. Plus, with a buying a privately owned vehicle I save 2 taxes (provincial + luxury sales tax).
I actually got another question: This might sound stupid but when did the transmission change from 5 speed to 6 speed, or has it always been 6 speed? (I hear different things from different people)
