Hard to say. I've seen SS's go for as low as $4K & as high as $15k for an 00. 01/02's still pull good $. 98-00's don't.

What do you guys think of an RSX Type-S to replace my SS?

I just sold my 1999 Camaro in 9.5/10 condition with 40k on it for $13,500. It was a full bolt on car that ran as good as it looked. I thought I coulda gotten more but that was in the area of its value. Good luck. Anything $13,500 and over is good for you, maybe $13,000 with a cracked hood. Look at blue book. Over blue book is the way to go.

Get a WRX, if you can manage, get a STI. way better than a TT or a RSX.

if your looking for gas mileage thats the way to go... but for power its still a honda lol. they are pretty nice inside tho, I have a friend that drives one.

VetteMan

Guys, you make me want to fix my hood and keep it.

406malibu

sounds like a good idea to me

VetteMan

Fixing a cracked SS hood would be like 2k.

In what the Audi?

If gas mileage is the issue there's no reason to get rid of the car. Just buy a cheap beater. The thing you guys are forgetting is your looking at all these turbo cars or high revving Honda cars which don't really get that good of gas mileage relatively speaking. You're not going to pull better than low 20s for most of those cars all-city driving. Might as well buy a 90s Civic/Accord/Corolla/Etc and enjoy the 30+ mpg easily.

I've heard/seen my share of horror stories with Audis/Euro cars in general, wouldn't go that route for a DD.

What about the full coverage insurance on the SS? That wastes tons of money.

Honda S2000. Ap1's (2000-2003) can be had for 12-15k now with low miles.

VetteMan

I was just going to ask about the Honda s2000. What do you guys think about them?

S2000's are quick cars, I think you can pull low 14's stock with them, but thats dumping the clutch at some ridiculous rpm. I have looked at every car you have suggested buying. If you are planning on any mods with the S2000, forget it, you will spend upwards of 2000 dollars for 3-6 hp.

The closest I came to not owning the my current car, was when I almost bought an S4. The problem with the audi is, if you need anything replaced, it is going to cost you a pretty penny. If the turbo goes, don't even bother taking it to a dealer, just upgrade it on your own.

In all honesty, when I sold my 95 z28, 5 years ago now, I missed it so much. I bought a Mustang GT and that was like owning an import lol. I sold that and bought an expedition and I am glad I sold that when I did. I then bought my SS and I could not be happier. If gas or money is the problem, just buy a civic for a few hundred bucks. If you want some speed, keep your car. You really seem set on getting something different though. I would say get an Evolution or an STI, but they would probably get worse gas mileage because of the awd. Good luck.

VetteMan

I don't want something slow and I don't want to be another Honda Civic on the road but I do want decent mpg. So I thought I would go with the s2000 and I dont have to worry about the s2000 breaking right? I also dont care about mods.

I dunno, I don't like S2000s. I think its a girls car, buts that just my opinion. Personally, I would go for something like a Evo, Sti/WRX or a 2000 S4 or any S4 that came with the bi turbo. They all have power in the same range. I mean, if its going to be your daily driver, you have space, decent MPG and speed.

VetteMan

I dunno.

406malibu

you can have a fast car, or you can have a car with great MPG, you cant have both. you should really figure out which is more important to you. altho you can have a fast car with acceptable mpg, aka the ls1

edit: now you changed your post... lol
