What would you do?
Discussion
I know this is the S2000 Honda Page, and therefore there maybe some Bias posts. However I think most of can give honest opinions on certain brands they may have tried.
At present I have a totally minted S2000, a 2009 plate. Really do like the car for many reasons. However all the reading I have done about the 2009 engine issues, Kinda put a damp squib on my Experience. I have a warranty and I know this only affected small numbers having engine problems, however It is in the back of your mind.
I put the car up for sale to see what Interest I would get, and as I expected, enough, folk wanting to do a deal.
I am not home for 3 weeks, so have a bit of time to think also.
I have always wanted to scratch the Porsche Itch, and having the cash to do It just now, I am thinking this is a good opportunity. However I cannot help but think I have a 2009 S2K with 9k on the clock that is Minted and will always hold Its value well due to the low mileage.
So you can see the Predicament. Keep the S2K or Buy a 2009+ Boxster S? Head says Keep It, heart says go for the Porker while you have the money?

Well what did I do.
Yep, I sold the S2K, and for a tidy we profit. Picked up my exige on Sunday. Do I miss the honda, yeah a little. Loved the cabin, engine, looks, but that was about all.
So a short lived ownership, which was down to the fact that I wanted back in a lotus, and with the engine woes the 2009 cars have.
Small numbers, probably, but trying to sell an S2K on that's had an engine change, for known faults, ain't gonna be easy. So I made the choice to sell, while there is a good bit of money still in the car.
More than happy with the exige, 240 verouious horses under the hood, screaming to be thrashed.
