I wouldnt get the S2000 if I was going to pay 3 to 400 a month for insurance. Its true that you only live once but how are you going to live with payments breaking your back? When I was in the military there were always a couple of guys with really nice cars but they were always the guys that could never afford to go out or go anywhere on leave. A car is not worth that dude.

[QUOTE=steven975,Dec 23 2004, 02:48 PM] how are you going to be able to pay the insurance and go to college at the same time, AND keep up grades and do a respectable amount of extracurricular activiites?
working for near minimum or waiting tables will require LOTS of hours just to pay insurance.

Thanks for the input guys.
As far as selling the Nissan, the market is virtually zero for a slow 4 door. The dealer I want to buy the s2k from will sell it out to another dealer in a bidding process. If they cant get what I want/need for it, Ill be forced to not jump on the deal.
Im not paying for college, parents are, so thats no really a big issue at all. And Im not afraid to pay for insurance, I know itll be alot but Im ready to pay it. You only live once and you dont get a better spot in heaven if you hoard the most money.
So what do you guys think about it since I dont have to pay for college? I know its a risk w/ an older car but the Nissan is a death trap...

18-19k still sounds kinda high for a 2000 model even if it only has 38k miles on it. I'm not going to try and talk you out of getting it if you want, it is your decision. I for one would not want an S2000 as my only car.

No doubt about the high insurance. I'm 27 with no tickets or accidents in the last 3 years and my premium is $558 every 6 months with $1000 deductibles. Sorry to say, at your enthusiastic age, your insurance payment each month would equal your car payment. It's not worth to pay a dollar to insure a dollar.
