Shit, here's an 06 Civic Si for you, for $8500:

If it's replacing the Santa Fe, it might be hard to go from a large-ish SUV that can haul five people and their stuff, to a two-seat roadster with a small trunk. Having DD'd my Miata for three years, you really learn to travel and pack "differently" to make the size of the car work. Everything goes in soft-sided bags. Suitcases are out unless you are passenger-less.

Integra/Civic could be a good idea. Get a clean one that hasn't been modified much/at all, though. Too many teenagers have had their dirty, taste-less hands on Integras by now.

Here's a good looking 'Teg for $4200:

I will tell you that high miles on a Honda/Miata just don't matter. 150k+ is easy for them, assuming maintenance has been kept up. I'd rather have a higher-mileage car with full records of things being serviced and fixed, than a low-miles grandma-car that was left to rot much of the time.
