Offered for sale is an absolutely striking, last-of-its-kind, virtually impossible to find example of one of the purest sports roadsters ever produced: the 2009 Honda S2000. One of only 355 produced, and one of only six finished in amazing Rio Yellow, this car is completely stock and unmolested, retaining a Honda Certified warranty all the way through August 2016 that will transfer to the new owner.


A two owner car, it was purchased from our local Honda dealership a little over a year ago by one of our best clients, a passionate collector whose interests are eclectic, but with one consistent through-line: exceptional engineering. It's only being sold to make way for a new Aston Martin, but he's certainly not short on misgivings. It took him and his salesperson nearly six months to search for this car and, as anyone who's been looking in the market can attest, original, low mileage 2009 S2000s aren't getting any easier to find. He only put a couple thousand miles on the car during his ownership and has ensured that the car's always been appropriately serviced by the dealership, as it was with its first owner. A responsible enthusiast, the car has never been tracked and the only thing distinguishing it from new off the showroom floor is the virtually negligible wear sustained during it's well-cared-for two owner history, evidenced (hardly) in the pictures.

If you're looking for an S2000, then you know how amazing they are on the road. If not, I'll defer to part of Autoblog's review of what is truly a purist's sports car:

"While comfortable around town, it's once you're clear of traffic that the real fun begins. At 6,000 RPM – where most engines run out of steam – the VTEC kicks the valve actuation into high power mode and the electronic tach makes a mad dash for the 8,000 RPM redline. It's a magnificent rush few vehicles can deliver. Even more compelling than the revverrific four are the chassis and mechanicals to which it's fitted. With double wishbones and 17-inch wheels wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza RE050 summer rubber at all four corners, the S2000's composure and engagement remains unmatched. When the road turns twisty, the chassis rotates just a point ahead of your hips and when you've finally reached the limits of adhesion, the back end steps out smoothly and progressively. All you need to do is keep your foot planted and dial in a few degrees of correction through the perfectly weighted steering wheel."

This is a special car that doesn't become available very often. Rare, final year, low miles, unique color, completely original, Honda Certified warranty through 2016 and in exceptional condition. Please bid accordingly. 

We want this car to go to a great home, so please feel free to email me or give us a call at (805) 202-4557 if you have any additional questions. You can also visit us online at goodmanreed.

While I have a California dealer license, I’m not your typical dealer. I’ve always had an appreciation for classic and sports cars and have always bought and sold them to create a small revolving personal collection which has afforded me the opportunity of meeting many other interesting enthusiasts, including the owner of this S2000. As such, this is a consignment car and can be seen by appointment at my warehouse in Santa Barbara. I try to give accurate descriptions of the cars I’m selling, but I’m not an expert and I encourage and am happy to help facilitate personal or professional inspections. But please do so before bidding, as the alternative harms my ability to make sales with other interested parties who have done their proper due diligence before bidding. 

For U.S. buyers a 10% non-refundable deposit is required within 3 days of the auction's end, the balance to be paid within 7 days of the auction's end. Foreign buyers must pay in full within 7 business days of auction’s end. Buyer is responsible for shipping, however I'd be more than happy to help with recommendations and arrangements. The car is listed locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time should it sell prior to auction's end. Thanks for your interest.

Honda, Audi sweep European tin-top championships

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

Despite his win at the Japanese Grand Prix this weekend, Sebastian Vettel still has another race or two to go before he can claim his fourth consecutive World Championship in Formula 1. Back in Europe, however, this weekend saw several championship titles decided in a variety of tin-top racing series.
In the British Touring Car Championship, Gordon Shedden won the final round at Brands Hatch this weekend, but that wasn't enough to defend his title. Instead, the ultimate glory went to Andrew Jordan, also driving a Honda Civic, coming in ninth place to take a seven-point victory over Shedden in the final standings. Little wonder then that Honda took the constructors' championship and the Honda Yuasa Racing team took the teams' title. Four-time BTCC champion and Fifth Gear co-host Jason Plato, now driving for MG, landed third in the standings.
While Honda dominated the British championship, it was Audi that reigned supreme in mainland Europe. In the Superstars International Series - Italy's touring-car championship - Gianni Morbidelli drove the Audi RS5 to his fifth title, finishing the season's final race in a calculated third place behind the BMW racecars of Giovanni Berton and Max Mugelli. It's the second consecutive win for the RS5 in the Superstars series (Johan Kristoffersson won the title last year), and the second this year following Mike Rockenfeller's title in the RS5 DTM.

Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Mercedes also under diesel emissions scrutiny

Sat, Oct 10 2015

The controversy over Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal isn't limited to the US. In Europe, where diesel engines are far more popular, the issue is shining a harsh light on the NEDC emissions test. As already known, the evaluation does a poor job of reflecting real-world production of NOx, and it appears a significant number of automakers are affected. The Guardian in the UK has been reporting on real-world test results from a company called Emissions Analytics. After the latest round of checks, vehicles from Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Mazda and Mitsubishi were found to generate far more NOx than they should. The newspaper also published similar results for Renault, Nissan, Hyundai, Fiat, Volvo, Jeep, Citroen, VW, and Audi. On average, the figures are about four times over the limit of producing the pollutant. Unlike VW and its defeat device, these automakers aren't actually breaking the rules. The vehicles perform up to the NEDC lab test for emissions, but those results simply aren't translated to the street. "The VW issue in the US was purely the trigger which threw light on a slightly different problem in the EU - widespread legal over-emissions," Nick Molden from Emissions Analytics said to The Guardian. A big fight to decide the future of this issue appears to be on the horizon. Automakers claim that they can't meet the next round of tightening emissions regulations and are asking for compromises. Although, spokespeople for Mercedes and Honda told The Guardian that the brands would be in favor of the stricter rules. Meanwhile, some European governments began backtracking their support of diesels well before this scandal came to light. The added scrutiny certain hasn't helped the future of the oil-burner.

Sales incentive growth clustered around brands with few CUVs, trucks

Wed, 24 Sep 2014

While it's arguably been around the longest, the dominance of the four-door sedan has been under threat for many years. As a further sign of the hurtin' that SUVs and crossovers have put on today's four-doors, a new report from Automotive News points to the increasing use of incentives by brands reliant on cars and light on CUVs and pickups.
Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen and Kia have all been stung by double-digit increases in their incentives-to-transaction price ratio, according to AN, which cites data from TrueCar. Honda's ratio is up 14 percent, while Toyota, VW and Kia are up 18, 15 and 19 percent, respectively.
"Most of the incentive growth we have seen is in product segments with low demand - midsized or large sedans," TrueCar CEO John Krafcik told AN. "As this trend goes on, the brands with three-sedan strategies are going to be in worse shape on incentive spending than the crossover brands."
