I've wanted an S2000 for way too long, and missed the boat when they were readily available. I've been looking an found a mint condition, all original and original owner AP1 with 73K miles! The family was selective on who they wanted to sell the car too and luck was on my side! The car feels so raw compared to the FL5, and both will be enjoyed equally! As you can see--even back in 2002, markups were a thing.

I love this! Congrats on the pick up. Looks super clean from the photos. I will definitely buy one of these, but I need the FL5 LE first provided they make one. ;)

Congratulations! Seems to be in really great shape!

I personally think this is an amazing pair. They provide very distinct driving experiences, while sharing the same ethos.

Congrats! They’re the best. And AP1 is the way to go; I’d take one over a CR.

I had a MY03 AP1 with full CR suspension (springs, dampers, sway bars, steering stiffeners) - the best of both worlds. :cool:

Congrats for sure! It's hard to find a really well kept AP1 for a good price... or even AP2 at this point.

My missed opportunity on buying a new S2000 was something that always bugged me but the FL5 seemed to be the solution. It's never going to be the raw fully analog feel of the S2000 but the magic is still there. You're a lucky guy!

Nice S2k. I missed the boat back then as well. Don't have anymore space for extra cars at this time.
I have that same feeling... :drool:

I'll find another some day. Sometimes you come across stuff when you're not even looking.

Took out my other 6MT car for a photo!

I like the small compact size of the S2000s. I almost wish the Civic didn't get so big, but that has it's advantages at the same time.

Lovely! I sold my Nurburgring/Suzuka Blue S2000 to buy the FL5, would've been great to keep it and have the pair together!
