Life is short get it.
1000$ is worth 6 months of pure pleasure driving your car every day.
I overpaid a bit for my Boxster S and couldn't be happier. It's been almost a year since my purchase and I STILL haven't found 1 single car in my area that has the same options as my car.
Although with an S2000 there are no options...
19k for a 2006 with 30k miles isn't too bad. I paid 28K for a 2003 S2000 in 2007 but it had 10k miles. (and it was in Canada
)

The fair value of a car is the price at which a seller is willing to accept, and a buyer is willing to pay. If it's worth it to you, it's worth it.
I've learned over the years that I'm better off in the long run paying more to get what I want vs. buying cheaper stuff based on price, only to end up upgrading sooner than I otherwise would have.

I agree with most in that if it's exactly what you want paying a grand more is worth it since we're already talking almost 20k. Get it and be done with it.
