Um, im not up to speed on insurance policies. But doesnt a "garaged" car imply that you dont drive it.
How can a vehicle get into a wreck when its not driven? Thus your paying insurance for no reason other than a natural disaster.
Or wait, wreck the car, then blow up the house!!!!

My loan is 4.25%. either rates have come back up since april, or you need to keep looking.
Here is a post I made last night about buying S2K's. Might be useful for you since you will soon be looking:

you can get an AP2 for that price.
Dealerships should be cheaper then private party, you just have to wait till you find one thats had the car on the lot for a long time and is ready to send it to auction.
Dealerships often underestimate how difficult it is to sell a used s2000. I ended up paying 5000 less then what the dealership was asking for my S2000. The first question out of your mouth ont he lot should be, how long have you had this car. if its a long time, tell em this is your offer, its better then what they'll get at auction. If the sales manager isnt dumb, they'll take it. If the car hasnt been on the lot yet, make the same offer, tell em to take your name and number, and WHEN they cant sell it, and are ready to accept your offer to give you a call. You should really be educated about trade in values or the specific car your talking about. (edmunds, KBB, etc) so you know the max they paid (again, unless your dealing with an idiot sales manager) This is the kind of situation where making an offer at about 500 above trade in value should solidify the deal. Often times they will tell you they spent over 500 to get the car sellable. Your response should be, yea but you will lose less money selling to me, then going to auction. (not to mention the salesman gets an extra sale for the month)
This is how anyone in the market for a used S2000 should be shopping.
Private party sellers are enthusiasts who arent willing to let go of their cars for the prices you can get dealerships down to because its a car sellers have emotional attachment to.
It is a unique situation in the used car market since its so impractical with only 2 seats, tiny trunk, convertible, small, and manual only, as well as being used. It attracts few people.
This specific car might be a little different because of its low mileage, however 17K is laughable.

Yeah I saw that; it gave me hope . That's why I'm hopeful I can maybe get a great deal on that 03. It's got 42,000 and it's coming up on AT LEAST a year on the lot. Winter's coming up, too. $18,900 seems ridiculous for that car at this time of year. How low do you think I can get him to go?

I'm 16, turning 17 in November. Start my Junior year of high school tomorrow. Haha. I don't have an s2k, but I'm roaming around here for quite sometime to learn everything I can about it. I plan on doing the same thing you are: trying to get a scholarship (mens volleyball) to lay off the load on my parents for school and possibly get an s2k after high school.
And yes, there are d*cks at my school too that drive EVO IX MRs, 350z's, 08 M3's and G35's. It made me happy the other day when the guy who owned the 08 M3 crashed it racing. Hahaha just kidding

I think you shouldn't get an s2000. personally i think no 18 year old is ready for an s2000 especially one that doesn't have VSA. Not to jinx you or anything but if you get a pre-06 s2000 your gonna get into an accident the first year, now who knows how bad itll be, thats up to your driving habits.
Oh and you have to understand from graffiti's point of view. You parents do not have to pay to maintain your car, insurance, and/or pay for gas. idc if your taking 21 credits. trust me its not too hard to do both work and school. And when u get a real job after college, depending on what field your in, they love to see you have experience in the field.
