if you can get an 04-05 STI, these are the ones with the noticeable turbo lag and boost, and they sound magnificent, good luck, it's fun shopping for a car

If you want something as fun to drive as the S2000 for 25K OTHER than a 2003 S2000 I suggest:
1- 2003 Porsche Boxster S
2-2001 BMW M roadster
3-1992 Acura NSX
TRUST ME on this. You seem young and still want a fun 2 seat car. For 25K these are VERY hard to beat in the fun factor and offer a different driving experience than the S2000.
Go test drive all 3 cars you'll have a blast. If you aern't grinning from ear to ear after driving one of these 3 cars than stick with the S2000.

I would try an STI (quick before the new ugly one is out) or an Evo, they are great cars, and I think more fun than the Z350. beware of insurance, when I checked the STI insurance it was like 40% more than the S2k with most insurance companies. even with clean driving history.

I say while you're young and don't have kids stick with 2 seater roadsters-coupes, life is too short

Kelly Blue Book - Suggested Retail Value
More Photos Condition Value
Excellent
$24,525
Suggested Retail Value Assumes Excellent Condition... More
***This is what I pulled up from ww.kbb.com, I know you can buy an 03' with less miles then $24K. It also depends what area you live in too. Maybe that's why when I was entering the info for the S it asked for my zip code (94558). The Claim Adjuster told me the area effects the "market value" as well. I hope, no, I WISH, I do get around $24K since I only owe $10,600. That would give me $13,400 to put down on a new car. Thanks for the advise everyone! This weekend is definitely going to be an educational expirience test driving all these fun cars
I'll give an update with how much the insurance is going to give me. I am sure glad the S kept it's value!

Yellow2001 - Did you end up buying another S2K?
Yup, still young, engaged, no kids, and still want to have fun before I get all tied up. ha ha ha. That's why I'm looking into getting into something that is fun so I can enjoy it! I agree with Jacques79. Life is to short. So I have to enjoy it while I can
