It's true! This is a one adult owner, 7,000 mile, completely stock
2006 Honda S2000 roadster. Seriously, we were as surprised as you
are too see a car like this in such condition. Oh, and it has clean
CARFAX, is accident free, and has full service records. With only
65,000 produced for the US, and many having been crashed or heavily
modified, this S2000 represents a very rare find to what is already
a modern classic. First shown as a concept car at the Tokyo Motor
Show in 1995, the production version was launched on April 15, 1999
to celebrate the company's 50th anniversary. The S2000 is named for
its engine displacement of two liters, carrying on in the tradition
of the S500, S600, and S800 roadsters of the 1960s. The Honda S2000
is also one of the most award sports cars of its era. It has been
awarded Car & Driver's Top 10 vehicles three times in a row, was
one of Road & Tracks best all round sports cars, and praised by the
BBC's Top Gear, JD Power, and Consumer Reports. The engine alone
was considered to be one of the best engines of all time back in
2004. The Honda S2000 was notable for its exceptional specific
power output of about 124 hp per liter, or about two horsepower per
cubic inch, the highest of any mass production, naturally aspirated
engined car. This face lifted model, known as the AP2, features
Honda's larger version of the F20C (with a designation of F22C1)
motor. This larger engine's stroke was lengthened, increasing its
displacement to 2,157 cc (2.2 L; 131.6 cu in). At the same time,
the redline and fuel cutoff were reduced from 8,800 rpm and 9,000
rpm to 8,000 rpm and 8,200 rpm respectively, mandated by the longer
travel of the pistons. Peak torque increased by 6% to 220 N�m (162
lb�ft) at 6,800 rpm while power output remained unchanged at 177 kW
(237 hp), achieved at a lower 7,800 rpm. Regarding this S2000, it
was originally purchased at Fisher Honda of Minot, ND. The current
and original owner is an older gentleman who kept it in a garage
and drove it on the odd sunny day. It's the perfect used car story!
It basically goes without saying that it is in outstanding
mechanical condition. Think about it. 1. It's a Honda. 2. It has
7,600 miles. 3. It has perfect service records. 4. It has never
been modified, raced or driven hard. In short, this car works they
way it was intended. Moving to the interior and exterior, both are
beautiful. The Rio Yellow Pearl paint is nearly flawless, and its
very tastefully contrasted on black leather. The interior shows
little signs of wear, and the convertible top is in great condition
as well. Normally we pride ourselves on disclosing minor
imperfections. In this case though, our inspection report came back
totally clean. Overall, this is a fantastic car and a truly rare
find. If you know these vehicles, then you know most have been
raced, driven hard, modified, crashed, or otherwise abused. The
Honda S2000 is considered a modern classic and its value is
expected to continue rising for quite some time. This S2000 is an
excellent opportunity to get in on a contemporary Japanese
collectible. This vehicle may be viewed at our Phoenix showroom.
