Selling the S
Well, the time has come where I am basically forced to sell my 2000 Silverstone S (due to work, i do outside sales). Has about 35k miles on it, and is in good condition besides a small cut in the soft top.
KBB lists my car at ~$15,000 although with the tear I would be happy to get ~$14k. Should I fix the top before I sell it?
Anyway, once I sell it, im looking to buy a new car for $25k or under. Preferably with <50k miles.
Would appreciate any suggestions you guys have.
Currently looking at...
Acura TSX
BMW 3 series
Nissan 350z
Lexus IS
As you can see, this list is pretty mediocre, so any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks- Mike.

What needs does the new car have to fulfill that requires the sale of your S? Having a Z in your list denotes to me that "more room" isn't the reason.
I say find a nice E46 330i with the ZHP package.

Basically I need a car that is better in rain (especially on the highway, as I hydroplaned going under the speed limit and would prefer not to get on the highway while raining) and also can be driven with light snow.
On second thought, a 350Z would be a pretty bad choice.
