8 Great Sports Cars For Under $30k

Why the hell not just go all out for car enthusiast credibility and get yourself a Honda S2000? Sure, they’re arguably overpriced for a 20+-year-old car if you park one next to a new Toyota GR86 with a warranty and delivery miles on the clock. However, they’re not going to drop in value anytime soon – even if you dump a lot of miles on it, the depreciation won’t be huge unless it’s crashed. Plus, you get a peach of an engine in the form of Honda’s high-revving 2.0-liter F20C engine and a little more room inside than an MX-5.

Yes, people have paid silly money for an S2000 in the past couple of years, but you can still pick one up for under $30,000. Likely because people haven’t been looking for them much after reading about the cars that have been drastically overpaid for. We were thinking about putting the E46 generation BMW M3 on here, but it’s a fact that a sub-$30,000 example is going to be a bucket of expensive problems. However, the S2000 is a Honda, and while it’s a 20+-year-old car, it’s still a Honda.
