Sell integra and replace with a civic. With the extra 20 grand get the S2000. Keep the Saab for now.

Not quite sure I'm following you...
You're suggesting I replace the integra with a civic, get an S2000, and keep the Saab? Though that's possible, I'd only want to spend 25k on two vehicles if I were to sell the Integra AND the Saab. Sorry if I didn't make that clear. My incoherent babbling can have that affect on people....just ask my wife

Sell both and get the S2000 ( I'm biased too of course) and a used Civic hatchback. I would go with hatchback just for room. It wasn't on the list but if it were me a used 4runner for about 3-5000 instead of the civic would be it. Get the S2000 though.

Thanks for the suggestion, 4wheel. The s2000 is definitely at the top of my list. My buddy is selling his 2000 NFR with about 40k on the clock and would be willing to give me a break on the price. I am really leaning toward the s2000. If I do go the s2000 route, however, I'll need to pair it with a 4 door vehicle with some type of utility. Though I don't want an SUV, an older 4 runner would definitely be considered if I were looking to go the SUV route. Thanks again.

Nate

Sell them both and buy a used S2000 and a used Infiniti G20. It might not be the best option, but that's what I'm driving

There's an S2000 and Protege'5 in my garage. It has worked out well for us in pretty much the same boat when we bought the S (Getting rid of a 240). Utility isn't an issue and I will be buying a beater with 4 doors and towing capacity once we pay off the wife's 5.
