Someone Bought A Brand New Honda S2000 In Australia Last Month
Don’t worry, you haven’t misread that title, nor have you stumbled upon an eight-year-old news story. Yes, believe it or not a Honda dealer in Australia really did sell a brand new Honda S2000 last month.
The ladies and gents at Car Advice stumbled upon some VFACTS information (VFACTS being Australia’s car industry statistics) that suggested a brand new S2000 had been sold in November. The publication promptly contacted Honda Australia, and were told it wasn’t a mistake.
It turned out an unnamed dealer in New South Wales had kept a 2008 example to one side as a showroom vehicle, and for whatever reason never sold the thing. Until November that is, when a punter managed to snag it for an unknown price.
It’s still unclear whether or not Honda will make a successor to the S2000 (rumours come and go), so it could be a while before this Honda dealer sells anything like this again…

I had Little Buddy, my beloved ‘81 Honda Civic, for many, many years before he died. The guy who bought him was looking for a project car. He said he found a BRAND NEW 1981 Honda Civic for like $10,000. Oh, how I miss my ole beat-up Little Buddy (sniff sniff). If I had the money, I’d buy that brand new ‘81 just to have Buddy #2.
All the vtec jokes, and they cannot even spell it correctly…
There is no difference between the 1999 model and the 2009 model except a few extra gadgets. It is really financially stupid but a new one let alone that it is eight years old
8 years without running or maintenance… yeah good deal…
I think with that special history (and the probably very low mileage) it’s most likely going to disappear into a collection or get sold on very soon.
I wonder if it had the same sticker price of $84,000?
We need to get a 2nd Gen crx back into production
