Wow, thanks guys. And thanks FC for finding that link. Much appreciated.

I personally would also get the S, for sure. When still in NY I TRIED to convince her to buy JV's car... (she even likes yellow cars!!!) but she wouldn't go for it.

She wants a price tag of under $15K so she can pay cash for the car and have plenty left for repairs, etc. I think that's a fine plan in general, but I'm worried she's just too focused on the price point and is going to pay more in the end by getting an old car where everything's about to go wrong.

She's also all over the map with what cars she's looking at. BMW's, boxsters, VW GTI, Mini. I'll go start a waffler thread with those constraints...
