You will  never find an S2000 in this kind of shape for this kind of money. I was a serious biker and had eleven motorcycles in the past five years (!). In October 2013 I was hit and injured, bike totalled. I saw the writing on the wall and got this car as a present for myself for giving up riding, which had been such a major part of my life. I did a fair amount of research on a bunch of cars, including such diverse ones as the S2000, Mini Cooper, Miata, Corvettes, I can barely remember. With as contentious as posts and replies on web sites usually are, 100% of all the people who had the cars I was interested in said the Honda was the best and told why. I have never seen unanimity of response before or since.

I found a car nearby owned by a terrific fellow who had car businesses that built cars from scratch, built racers, fabricated carbon fiber parts, all kinds of great things. He was a lot of fun and was very honest and direct. I had never been in an S2000 before but off we went and made a deal. Among my reasons were that I wanted to buy from him, and, with his great knowledge, experience and judgment, he had been through the car inside out and had already done anything of any importance so that I had no concerns. If you were I you woulda bought it too.

My seller got it from his friends who own a tow company. The owner of the car reportedly was a doctor at the local university. It was towed from somewhere and for whatever strange reason, something may have happened to him, but the owner never reclaimed it. Can you imagine, but they told us this happens all the time. Apparently there are plenty of folks out there with plenty of money and cars and they just let a car go if it seems more convenient to them to do so. There is a procedure in PA which takes time and considerable money but the tow company got a new title and assumed ownership. They fixed up whatever they saw was needed and then sold it to their friend, from whom I got it shortly thereafter, as he was looking to relocate a business and owned so many cars, including another S2000 he was taking apart and rebuilding. Hence, the clear PA title I have says "Formerly Abandoned." Curious but true.

So off I went but what developed was that some of my bike injuries were more serious than we knew, including a fractured vertebra, and driving and enjoying this car just weren't gonna happen. I went only a couple hundred of miles total and put it into storage. I thought if my injuries improved enough I would keep the car, still think so, but oh well. If I get better I would get another one, which would certainly be much more expensive and perhaps not so trustworthy. If it doesn't sell, it'll just live here in the garage..

When I took the car to get washed, the fabric on the very back of the top, under the clear back window, ripped a little. The window itself is foggy, as they usually get after a while. If I were keeping the car, I would replace it with a plastic or glass window. For the moment, I just put a piece of tape on it. Since I'm selling it, you get to choose your window. I took $500 off the price to compensate you for the inconvenience.

The car came with only one key, the kind with a chip that the car needs to recognize to start. I bought some spare non-OEM keys but they have to be cut and programmed, I also have an owner's manual. They are yours.

I have a listing somewhere else and I have had a query from someone for whom this would be a first car. I told him this would be a very poor choice as it is a high performance street legal sports car and either wasted or dangerous unless you have some experience.

I have bought many cars with 150,000 miles or more and have no regrets. Use Mobil One or equivalent on this one.

It's really sad and annoying to sell this car that I got so into buying and really only drove a couple of hours. Oh well..

I am attaching copy from another listing...

Recharge Wrap-up: Pikes Peak Honda CR-Z, Tesla's liquid-cooled cable

Thu, Jun 18 2015

Honda will race a CR-Z hybrid in the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. The car will use Electric SH-AWD, which probably means it will be using electric motors to power the rear wheels. Whether the Pikes Peak CR-Z uses the same powertrain as the upcoming Acura NSX or the 3.5-liter V6 with three-motor hybrid system used in the Acura RLX Sport Hybrid is still unclear. The car will also use Acura's Precision All-Wheel Steering (P-AWS) system. The CR-Z will be piloted by Tetsuya Yamano. Read more at Hybrid Cars, or, if you read Japanese, at Response. Tesla has introduced a thinner, liquid-cooled Supercharger cable. While the convenience of not having to "wrestle a good-sized snake into the car," as Elon Musk calls it in a shareholder speech, is wonderful, it could also allow for faster charging in the future. The liquid-cooled charging cable "also has the potential for increased power of the Supercharger long-term," says Musk. A cable able to withstand larger loads could mean shorter stops when it's time for a charge. Tesla has installed the first next-generation cable at the Mountain View Supercharger.

In addition to the 71-horsepower Smart Fortwo, the DCT will now be available in the 90-horsepower Fortwo and the 71-horsepower Forfour. In the Fortwo, the Twinamic DCT adds ˆ1,275 (about $1,437) to the price over the manual transmission, and is an extra ˆ1,425 (about $1,606) in the Forfour. The option of steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters as part of the Sport package makes driving the efficient microcar even more fun. Deliveries of the newly equipped vehicles begin at the end of July. Read more in the press release below. smart extends twinamic range for fortwo and forfour: Even more models with automatic transmission Stuttgart. Following in the footsteps of the smart fortwo with 52 kW/71 hp, the smart fortwo with 66 kW/90 hp and the smart forfour with 52 kW/71 hp are now also available with fully automatic twinamic dual clutch transmission. This costs an extra 1275 euros compared to the versions with 5-speed manual transmission (forfour: 1425 euros). This means that both model series now offer a choice between no fewer than nine engine/transmission combinations. Delivery of the new models will begin at the end of July 2015.

Honda discontinuing Euro Accord, no replacement in sight

Wed, 22 Oct 2014

Honda has built two Accords for many years. There's the one we're familiar with here in the United States, and then there's the Accord sold in markets like Europe and Australia, known here in the US as the Acura TSX. But just like Acura did with the TSX, the Euro-market Accord has been discontinued.
The news comes from The Motor Report in Australia, which is reporting that the Accord Euro will be discontinued in 2015. Sold Down Under alongside the US-market model, the discontinuation of the Aussie car indicates an end to Honda's midsize sedan efforts in Europe, where there is no obvious replacement for the four-door and wagon models.
According to TMR, Honda Australia Director Stephen Collins indicated that focus will be placed instead on the US market "wide-body" model, as it's known. That said, this decision doesn't sound like it's sitting too well in Oz.

Fire up your 3D printer! Honda releases data for several of its past concepts [w/video]

Thu, 30 Jan 2014

Futurists have been treating 3D printing like it is the second coming of the Industrial Revolution for years. Everyone will have a 3D printer in their garage and be able make practically anything at home before you know it, right? Well... not quite.
While we can imagine a piece of trim breaking on our car and being able to download the file to print a new one at home, the reality is that 3D printing is still in its earliest stages as a consumer device. Still, Honda is capitalizing on the technology by allowing people to make models of its concept cars at home.
The Honda 3D Design Archive currently consists of five models based on the Fuya-Jo, FSR, Kiwami, Puyo, and NSX concepts. The printer files can be downloaded from the web and carry Creative Commons 4.0 licenses, which allow them to be freely shared. Honda promises that more files will be added to the archive soon.
