Why Honda S2000s Are Worth More at Salvage
The Honda S2000 is one of the most sought-after Japanese sports cars ever made, with an incredibly loyal enthusiast community. Every S2000 part is in high demand because these cars are still actively tracked, raced, and modded by passionate owners who refuse to let them die.
The F20C and F22C engines are legendary VTEC powerplants that rev to 9,000 RPM. These naturally aspirated 4-cylinder engines are gold to Honda enthusiasts — they’re swapped into everything from Civics to CRXs to track builds. A running F20C engine alone can be worth $3,000-$8,000+ depending on condition and mileage.
S2000 hard tops, AP1 tail lights, OEM wheels, Recaro seats, and even small interior trim pieces command premium prices. The convertible soft top mechanism, when working, is worth $800-$1,500. Even damaged S2000s are valuable because clean body panels are increasingly rare and expensive.

Honda S2000 Curb Weight & Scrap Specs
The S2000 was designed as a lightweight sports car with aluminum components and minimal sound deadening. While the scrap metal value is lower than heavier vehicles, the parts value far exceeds scrap on these cars.
| Generation | Years | Curb Weight | Engine | Approx. Scrap Metal Value* |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AP2 | 2004–2009 | 2,835–2,865 lbs | 2.2L F22C1 | $180–$280 |
| AP1 | 2000–2003 | 2,809–2,835 lbs | 2.0L F20C | $170–$270 |
*Scrap metal value based on current mixed auto body scrap rates (~$150–$220/ton, March 2026). The S2000 contains significant aluminum content (engine block, transmission case, suspension components) worth $0.50–$0.80/lb.
Important: S2000 parts value is 5-10x higher than scrap value alone. A running F20C or F22C engine is worth $3,000-$8,000+, while the aluminum scrap value is only $75-$150. This is why we pay significantly more than scrap-only buyers.
Common Honda S2000 Problems We See (And Still Buy)
Rear Subframe Cracking
A known issue on both AP1 and AP2 models, especially those driven hard at the track. The rear subframe can develop stress cracks around the differential mount. Expensive to repair but doesn’t affect our offer much since the engine and most parts remain valuable.
Soft Top Motor Failure
The convertible soft top motor can fail, leaving the top stuck up or down. Replacement motors cost $800-$1,200+. We buy S2000s with broken soft tops regularly — the manual override still works and the rest of the car has full value.
Snap Ring Transmission Issue
Early 2000-2001 AP1 models had transmission snap ring failures that could cause total transmission loss. If your early S2000 has transmission issues, the engine and body are still extremely valuable.
Collision Damage
S2000s are low sports cars that are unfortunately common in accidents. We buy crashed S2000s frequently — the undamaged side, plus the engine, differential, seats, and other components retain significant value.
Engine Mechanical Issues
High-RPM engines like the F20C and F22C can suffer from oil starvation, bearing issues, or valve train problems when not maintained properly. Even engines needing rebuilds are worth $1,500-$4,000+ to enthusiasts.
Rear Window Cracking
The plastic rear window on the soft top can crack or become cloudy over time. While replacement is expensive ($300-$600), this cosmetic issue doesn’t significantly impact the rest of the vehicle’s value.

Honda S2000 Selling FAQ
How much is my Honda S2000 worth for salvage?
It depends on the year, condition, mileage, and whether it’s AP1 or AP2. A damaged 2001 AP1 might bring $3,000–$5,000, while a running 2008 AP2 could pay $7,000–$15,000+. Hard tops add $800-$2,500 to the value. Call (603) 392-7313 for a quote specific to your S2000.
Do AP1 or AP2 S2000s pay more?
Generally, AP2 models (2004-2009) command slightly higher prices due to their larger engine and refinements, but AP1 models (2000-2003) have their own enthusiast following for the high-revving F20C engine. Both are valuable — condition and mileage matter more than generation.
My S2000 has a blown engine. Is it still worth selling?
Absolutely. Even a blown F20C or F22C engine has rebuild value worth $1,500-$4,000+. Plus, the transmission, differential, body panels, interior, wheels, and other components retain full value. We buy S2000s with engine problems regularly.
Do you buy S2000s with the hard top?
Yes, and hard tops significantly increase the value. An OEM S2000 hard top in good condition is worth $800-$2,500+ on its own. If you have a hard top, definitely mention it when you call for a quote.
What S2000 parts are most valuable?
The engine (F20C/F22C, worth $2,000-$8,000+), hard top ($800-$2,500), AP1 tail lights ($200-$600), OEM wheels ($400-$1,200 set), Recaro seats ($300-$800 pair), and LSD differential ($400-$1,000). Even small interior trim pieces have value to enthusiasts.
Can I sell my S2000 without a title?
In many cases, yes. If you have a valid registration, proof of ownership, or can get a duplicate title from the NH DMV, we can usually complete the purchase. Call us and we’ll walk you through the options for your specific situation.
More Questions About Selling Your S2000
How much do junkyards pay for a 2005 Honda S2000?
A 2005 Honda S2000 (AP2) typically pays $3,500–$6,500 if non-running or damaged, $5,500–$12,000 if running with high miles, and up to $18,000+ in good condition. At 603 Auto Salvage, we pay premium prices because we understand S2000 parts values and have buyers waiting for them. Call (603) 392-7313 for your exact price.
Is it better to sell my S2000 to a junkyard or part it out myself?
Unless you’re an experienced S2000 enthusiast with time, tools, storage space, and knowledge of parts values, selling to a specialized salvage yard is usually better. S2000 parts have complex pricing based on condition, year, and rarity. We handle everything professionally and pay cash immediately — no months of dealing with buyers and shipping.
What makes Honda S2000s so valuable at salvage?
The S2000 has an incredibly passionate enthusiast community that keeps these cars alive with track days, autocross, and modifications. With only ~117,000 S2000s ever made and many lost to accidents or age, every remaining car is valuable. The F20C and F22C engines are legendary and sought after for swaps. Clean body panels, hard tops, and OEM parts are becoming increasingly rare.
Do you buy modified Honda S2000s?
Yes. Many S2000s have been modified with aftermarket parts like coilovers, exhausts, intakes, or turbo kits. Quality modifications can actually increase the value, while poor modifications may decrease it. We evaluate each car individually based on the specific modifications and overall condition.
How quickly can you pick up my Honda S2000?
Usually same day or next business day. We understand that S2000 owners are enthusiasts who care about their cars, so we treat every pickup with extra care. Our experienced drivers know how to handle low sports cars safely and will transport your S2000 professionally.
Honda S2000 Catalytic Converter Scrap Price (2026)
S2000 catalytic converters are valuable due to their high-performance nature and the precious metals they contain. Both AP1 and AP2 models have cats worth significantly more than typical economy cars.
| S2000 Generation | Engine | Cat Type | Estimated Cat Value* |
|---|---|---|---|
| AP2 (2004–2009) | 2.2L F22C1 | Close-coupled | $300–$600 |
| AP1 (2000–2003) | 2.0L F20C | Close-coupled | $250–$500 |
*Catalytic converter values based on current precious metal markets (March 2026). High-performance sports car cats typically contain more platinum, palladium, and rhodium than economy cars. These values are factored into your total cash offer.
Important: We buy the entire S2000, not just the catalytic converter. The complete vehicle is worth far more than the cat alone — the engine, transmission, body parts, and other components add thousands in additional value.
