Lets get some more info from the OP.... are you upside down on the Civic? IE didnt put alot down, rolled over money? etc etc.

I have an '07 SI sedan and the value is holding very well as they are still tough to find in a lot of areas around the country.

 

U will lose a lot of money unless you get lucky and find someone to buy your civic out right for a fair price. really depends how well you did when you bought it though. You might of over paid a few thousand to start with.

Or which could happen if you try hard enough, find someone with an S2k who is looking to get a civic si. If seen a few guys who switched do to needing a more of a family car.

Good luck, getting a S2k is worth the hassle if you ask me.

 

Before anything else... lol... how do you compare an Si to an S2K?!?!?!? That should have been an easy decision, unless money played some roll in this, but it seems like it didn't since you're considering trading it in anyway... lol.

I say go buy a S2000 and keeps the Si has a daily car and the S as weekend car.

 

Kelly Blue Book Trade-In value is 19,150, and the car retails for $21,090. So it's going to cost you 2k. What's 2k to you? Private Part Sale KBB is 21,015, at least this way you don't lose as much, but who buys a used car with 600 miles on it. Not me.

Think about this, its going to cost you up to or over $10,000 to get a S2000 depending on the model year. I'm not sure of your financial situation, but you might be in for a hefty car payment. Also calculate what it will cost you for insurance, and don't forget you will probably be buying tires twice as often with the S2000 compared to the Civic Si.

Good luck with your decision.

 

keep the si, it's a great car.


in the long run, it's going to be cheaper to keep, cheaper to make fast and more mods for it than small block chevy. well, maybe not SBC but you get my point

the only way you can break even is to look for new s2k owner that is tired of 2 seaters and no room, or they can't afford to keep two cars, or baby on the way type of incident.

 

Remember to take insurance costs into your decision. Insuring an s2000 may be substantially costlier than a civic. I know mine is almost twice as much!

Not only will you be losing your shirt on the trade but you'll also lose your shirt on reoccurring costs like gas,tires,and insurance!

 

Keep the Si. The S2000 will find out that it played second fiddle to a Civic and break down on you.
