Things have gotten a bit crazy in the used market, but I believe $40k would fetch a very nice E31 (if not necessarily the CSi version).
Is that what a nice S2000 is worth? Most examples I see are "upgraded."
I always thought the E31's were beautiful and I have wanted one, but beauty aside, they are not excellent enough in any category to have pushed me over the edge yet...until the right V12 manual comes along...
Nice, stock low mileage S2K's are in the mid-high $20k's some even crossing into the low $30k's with the late Club Racer ones being much higher. These prices are for premium ones, not "improved" or "upgraded". The S2K is a wonderful still underrated car. I miss my early one. Owning the Boxster and Lotus remind me how great of a car the S2K is.
