I almost got an S2000 myself last year.

In that price range I'd go Evo or STI personally.

S2000 is great, but only if I were to build the motor for single-turbo.

I would say a decked out S2K looks a heluva lot better than any Evo or STI, though. And LAST YEAR, S2K's with maybe 30k miles were roughly 18k, so an S2K is def. in your price range.
