you can find a decent car for 8k.
You can even build a boosted B series EK or EG with that much or even with a K if you have hookups

Good luck and glad to see you will still be around the boards wether your driving an S or not

thanks. in the odd event i dont end up in a civic of some sort, i will most likely be building a boosted single cam.

i dont want a crazy setup, just 250whp, tint, slammed,wheels, subtle JDM goodies and...................NO CAR PAYMENT!!

If you can do it for 8k then go for it, but right now isn't a great time to sell a car so it may take awhile. good luck.

na, im already married, and im not really having any financial trouble at all, im just not where id like to be financially.

im 24, married two years and living in an apartment. if i sell the s2k(which is nearly paid for) and get something cheaper to just drive around in, the rest of my profits can go towards a house. i just need to get my ducks in a row, get into a house, with a garage, pad my savings account, and open a high interest account with ING or something to that effect. and then i can pick up another s2k.

sometimes you have to make tough decsions that will better you for the future, and yes they hurt. but id rather own a home, than have an s2k in an apt complex. im tired of not having a garage, and always wondering if when i go out of town if my s2k will survive parked alone in the complex. i live in a nice part of town, but still. haters are everywhere.

ive enjoyed this car everyday for 2.5 years, and it saddens me to think that by the end of the year it will be gone. but life will go on, we can up our budget for a home and ill have plenty of fun im my SS or boosted Civic. and like i say, im not going anywhere, i love the guys on here and i CANT go a day without my s2ki.com!
Smart man
Good luck with your next ride Version

Well, we all come to these crossroads, I can't say I haven't considered it at some points in my life, but I decided after I got my hardtop that this is the car I want to keep for the rest of my life, no matter how many motors/diffs/trannys/whatevers I have to replace as the years go by.
Good luck with the sale, whoever gets it is getting a factory freak
Keep us posted on the next ride!

...just make sure you take that S out on one last blast down a twisty road before you let her go. You owe her that much.

Sad to see you go. But how much do you think you will sell your car for? If you get 15k for it, subtract your payoff and buy a $5000-6000 car, you will pocket a whopping $1000- 2000. Does not sound good to me to give up a car You love. Some thing to think about. Good luck any way.

Good luck whatever car you go for!

Sometimes its wiser to look at the big picture instead of what makes you feel good right now!

you gotta get a few more SE before you sell it though
