2004 models (called Ap2) should be the preferrable model. It has a glass rear window, improved suspension geometry, 17" wheels for better looks and matched to the suspension and some minor cabin enhancements such as an added digital clock. Having that said The 1999 or 2000 model (called Ap1) is a better bang for the buck and is almost as good a car. But the suspension on it is somewhat harder to drive 'well' say on a track day. If not carefully driver the car will snap oversteer easier than the 2004 model.
realistically a 2000-2003 (ap1) s2000 is about 9,000-15,000. the 2004-2009 (ap2) 14,000-28,000. these are prices of s2000's in reasonable conditions. you can actually get an ap1 for less than 9,000 but there will be a reason for it.

it depends on what you think is more important. s2000 only has two seats, but is faster and lighter, and covertible, both can be upgraded for horsepower and speed. but s2000 has more potential. you choose. i have an s2000.

The amount of horsepower a Honda s2000 has depends on the rpms and the model. For example, the Honda 2000-2003 AP1 s2000 has approximately 237 hp (177 kW) at a rate of 7800 rpm.
