Default Selling my S at EOY :(

Hey guys...I've only owned by S about a year now and I need to sell it towards the end of the year since I'm getting married and my future wife will already owns a 350z roadster (automatic). I don't mind the Z but I've driven it tons of times and I never feel that "weeeee" sensation about it. The reason I need to get rid of mine is that her car is already paid off and I still owe $10k on mine. I could use a bigger car since having two 2-seater car will be useless especially when we want to go out of town for trips.

So with that said, I was wondering what you guys think would be a good replacement...I am looking into coupes and sporty sedans. I don't want anything expensive like a Audi A5 but was looking in the used car price range of $20-25K. I want something thats fun to drive and anything that would remotely come close to the handling of the S. Handling for me is the most important followed by power.

Sadly, the S cannot be replaced but I can try....:?(

Unfortunately, she loves her Z especially since she has owned it since 2004 and has modified it to her liking...

New Accord coupe LX, badass and you can keep the Honda reliability and pride going. Also help the S not feel so bad by staying in the family.

Well if you buy another car your gonna owe money on that, so no matter what you will owe money. Unless you have children, why do you need a bigger car? Really, you have great vehicles now. No need to get rid of it yet. Double (or triple) the payments on the S, then you have that free space for another car in a year or 2 when a child comes along.

the S is plenty big enough for me and girl to go on road trips.. teach her to pack light!!!.

Selling one car to buy another on the basis of you owe money is retarded, especially when you are going to owe money on the new car.

Dont sell the S on her account.. you'll regret it.

If you absolutely need a bigger car buy a beater for a few grand (2 or 3, not 10) and keep the S. You can find really clean 98-99 integra's in that price range with under 120k miles.

I don't think that you should sell your car. I don't think it makes financial sense.
