I actually went through the idea of getting rid of mine twice... I missed having back seats, wanted something better in winter, etc. but after everything I decided to keep it, it has so much personality.

Not the best time to be selling cars, esp. with winter coming up and this being a convertible. And your concern of buying an expensive 18 year old car is a valid one, might not be the best financial decision.

Don't sell the S, supercharge it.

I personally don't think I'd want those 25k-30k NSX's. They are usually older models, with relatively high miles. Sure the things will last forever but don't forget you will be the 2nd, 3rd, or maybe 4th owner of a car that is probably slower than a 370z.

On the other hand. The longer you wait, the older the car gets. If you plan to own an NSX in your lifetime, possibly the sooner the better. But if you continue to improve your financial situation you may be able to afford a nicer, newer model, lower mileage NSX in a few years.

+1. It's going to have to be a hell of a car for me to give up the S2000.

I would pass on the NSX, more headaches, and barely better performance unless you get the 3.2 motor.
