Default getting another s2k, help me decide!

so my last s2k was totaled by farmers.. not my fault.. it was my dream car and color combo (white/ red & black) and i only had it for a week so i'm itching to get back into another one!

even though i only had it for a week, the infatuation with red interior has already kind of worn off so i'm now open to other colors. i didn't know they had white/ tan when i got my first one! i'd prefer a stock '02/ '03, and the most i'm willing to spend is $16k. should be getting the payoff this coming week, and i've narrowed it down to these 4 in my area..


'01 white/ red, new top (still plastic window though), only 35k miles!
top of my price range and an '01, but the low miles keep me interested
SOLD

'03 blue/ blue, blue top!
seems a very rare combo with the blue top and a damn good deal. just don't know if i could honestly enjoy that sea of blue interior for that long..

'03 white/ tan
seems like a fair deal, and the seller said it was previously a lease vehicle (don't know if that's good or bad). being an '03 and the tan interior are the biggest selling points to me. plus my gf likes this one best! haha

'01 silver/ black
not my favorite color, but dealer said it was one owner and it's the cheapest one. looks like a defrost switch on the console so it most likely has a glass rear window. not sure about the seats though.. they're mostly cloth and the dealer said they aren't seat covers.. i thought all s2k's were leather??
SOLD


what do y'all think?

you need to add prices, milage, condition, etc.

Color is up to you - if I decide for you, I would say no S2000 since you already took yours out in a single week.

I like silver with black because it blends in more then most colors, which is why I bought one that way, but I'm not you.

I really like white, but am not a fan of the red or black/red interior, I think it looks good on someone else's car but not something I would want to live with, then again I tend to be more conservative then a lot of S2k drivers. Out of your list I would probably go white with tan, I think its a classy combo and white is the hot color right now. I'm not a fan of Suzuka blue, I know a lot of people love it but the blue interior just kills me. That said, I really like Laguna Blue, but I don't think it was available on AP1's.

i'm leaning towards the white/ tan at this point. white always has been my fav color on any car and the tan interior seems even more rare than the red/ black. the mileage is higher, but it's still within the average for texas (15k/ year).

That price on the Suzuka is a steal. Especially, if their not lying about a clean carfax and accident free. I wish I would've found a deal like that when I was looking.

Anyways, as you can see I really like the Suzuka. I say buy the Suzuka and resell it. I'm pretty sure you can get more for what you bought it for.

I would choose the last one except for the seat. They are suppose to be leather. Because of the miss-matched seat material, I would go for the white/tan one. I have always felt that combo looked more upscale.

The Blue seems to be the best deal between them.
