Feeler: WTT S2000 for A/T BRZ

So I know this is a long shot but please read this before you go any farther:

-I bought this S2000 a year and a half ago. I bought the cleanest, nicest, lowest mile car I could find, and have loved it ever since because I thought I -was going to keep it forever.
-Fast forward a year and a few months. I get accepted into medical school. I'm at the stage in my life where I realize I need to have a car with at least 4 seats, some more trunk space, and NEEDS to be A/T (so the lady can drive; S2000 is my only car). I was going to sell the S2K and buy a BRZ limited, but that would require paying taxes, etc. I thought I would try to find the perfect deal just in case someone finds this.

I am only interested in 1 car: Subaru BRZ A/T transmission in dark gray.

Here is my S2000. I know people will start making low ball offers, but to put it in perspective, I saw an identical S sell for 26.9 last week.
-MY 2007 - has traction control if wanted. It's an AP2 obviously and will come stock
-Has an AP1 lighter flywheel and brand new clutch added while the tranny was off: installed by Honda master mechanic.
-only 21,500 miles (18 documented oil changes, fresh tranny fluid, and running AMSoil in the diff)
-Previous owner was an old man in St. Louis who never beat on it, cars never been tracked, launched, raced etc.

I don't think the brz is really the car for you. My brother has an s2000 and I have the brz so I know where you are coming from. The brz does have more room but the back seats are more for storage then having anyone ride in it comfortably. If 4 seats are for carrying actual people more then once in a while might want to go wrx.

I know exactly what you mean and thanks for the input. I don't plan on carrying 4 people at once very often. It'll mostly be for backpacks, etc.

I chose the car because I want something I can still have fun in. The back seat is just more space. I've driven one too btw

Thanks for the positive input tho!

Why not stay with your current color? I could make you a very interesting deal, and meet you in the middle for trade off (between Indiana and New Orleans). Of course you would need to drop the silly A/T idea...

My... that is tempting.
-the color isn't the make it or break it thing: i just fell in love with asphalt/dark grey because there is one driving around campus
-the A/T is a breaker in the deal SIMPLY because it needs to be available if the lady or a friend needs to drive it. Nobody gets near my S2000 driver's seat besides me, which has been a problem. I really need an A/T, not want.

No problem, if mine sells I was going to make an offer on King Tut's Full Blow BRZ for sale. However, if yours is still it will be a challenging decision! Wish I could do both!!

You NEED to teach the wife to drive MT.... It's for her own good. Someday an emergency might come and its better to know than needing to learn in the emergency. God, that S2K is CLEAN............ I love it. I wish I could buy it for real...

Its kinda high mileage lol.

I have almost 24,000 miles and the mods include k&n air filter and Invidia N1 titanium exhaust (just the axle back), HID for everything. That's probably about it. Let me know what you think as my parent probably wont be happy that I am trading in for cars older, but we will see.

Does not appear to be any real interest. Looks like I will keep and mod myself, and lose out on King Tut's deal...
