Well, I am facing the reality of needing to buy a family friendly vehicle for myself. The wife is pregnant with our second (due in June) and my DD is her old car, an 05 Civic VP Coupe. Blegh. So....
$5000 will get you a 1999 Eclipse RS dynoed at 406 whp and 393 wtq located in Tampa, FL.
It has all the supporting drivetrain upgrades to put this power to the ground.

Agree with others its sad to see it go with all of the hard work you've done. Wish I had the 6k. There's another member selling his red 2g but its a 2ga, thats a local. His is just as clean. http://akroncanton.craigslist.org/cto/2835913958.html
My vote is keep it trade the O5 civic, for a preowned grand cherokee or something used 4 door thats not beat to death so you could build credit. Jeep isnt bad drove many at a jeep dealer I worked for, plus the rear ends are extremely tough dana 30 used for rock crawling. Small information if you get bit by the 4x4 bug.

I cant believe it either. One of the things of being in a car community, your car is you, you are your car. Whenever I put a car to a name and they sell it, it doesnt feel the same. Good luck with the sale, try to find the most deserving person you can, that car needs a good home.
On another note, Evos are good 4 door family cars...

I just sold my Red '05 srt-4 today that's in just as good of condition as your car. If I had sold my 2g today instead, I would be sobbing uncontrollably. You should have no trouble getting 6K out of it.
