Let’s be trustworthy right here, the automotive market has peeked into absolute absurdity! Whether or not you affiliate the ridiculous costs of automobiles in at the moment’s market a fluke, associated to provide chain points, grasping folks, or simply COVID-19, costs have been past ludicrous. We agree with the emotions of Nicolas Cage’s Randall ‘Memphis’ Raines’ character on ‘Gone in 60 Seconds’ when he mentioned, “There’s too many self-indulgent wieners on this metropolis with an excessive amount of bloody cash!”
Everyone knows that the costs are the results of a collective of causes. Nevertheless, the long run doesn’t present any modifications in the best way issues are going so we are going to proceed to see Honda S2000s promote for six figures like this uncommon and distinctive 2009 S2000 CR, which bought for an astonishing $200,000 on Deliver A Trailer this week. That shatters the current file of a 5,500-mile 2008 Honda S2000 CR promoting for $127,500 on the identical public sale website again in February of this yr.
Certain, a Honda S2000 isn’t any Ferrari or supercar for that matter. It’s, nevertheless, a particular automobile for us lovers and its basic roots and eight,000+ RPM glad place is one thing we will all get behind and cherish as being one of many latest “classics” for folks like us. To not point out, there have been solely 700 S2000 CRs (Membership Racer) fashions ever produced for the U.S. market touting a 2.2-liter inline-4-cylinder VTEC engine producing 237 horsepower. Whereas this instance that bought for $200k is kind of a rarity amongst rarities with solely 123 miles on the clock, it reveals how loopy the present automotive market has grow to be.
Will issues make a flip this yr? Doubtless, not, except we enter into some warfare with a rustic that’s by no means provided us with any automobiles. Till then, get used to this absurdity!
