Since she wants a 4 door, have her buy herself a car. This way you get to keep the S and she will have her own ride. =)

I agree that you should keep the S and get a used accord or something. If that 's not an option, I would go with an Audi S4 if you can afford it.(If not, STi-maybe the new sedan version)

Ok please no bashing of my soon to be fiancee. I want advice about whether or not to part it out and the cars that I listed that I am looking into getting.

I agree with her about it not being practical and needing the extra room. And it wasn't telling me that I had to but that it would be hard for us to afford an other car when we graduate college, and have student loans, and a mortgage on a house.

I figure if I sell it soon that I can get a sporty sedan that I can modify in the future. If I wait to sell it I might not be able to get the car that I want because money needs to used else where.

I don't want to be in debt. I hate the fact that I have student loans right now but I don't want to be in debt anymore than I have to.

And it won't get worse I already told her that I was going to buy the car that I want which she said was fine and that I wanted to get a car that I could modify which she also agreed with.

The problem with getting a cheap 4 door Accord is finding one it good used condition and also coming up with the money for it. I don't have the money to do so. Also it is about being financially secure when we both graduate from college.

I graduate in a year and I don't want to live at home for 3-5 more years to afford a house and get married because I want to keep my S. I love my car don't get me wrong. But having financial stability means a lot more to me.

I would still have to pay insurance on the car for 4-6 months when I don't drive it. That is an extra $1,000 a year for something that I can not use.

I am teaching her to drive a stick this summer. She has her own car that is a 4 door but that doesn't change the problem of me having a car that I would only drive sometimes when it is nice and a daily that is getting less and less reliable as I drive it each day.
