I'd save $1k for title, taxes, registration, smog and safety testing and a PPI.
That gives me $19k to spend.
I'd save $1k for initial repairs indicated by the PPI...or future repairs. I like things like fresh oil, brake fluid, pads and measured rotors.
Now have $18K to spend.
I'd save $1k for new tires...unless I got lucky and the car didn't need them...but it probably soon will.

For $17k I'd buy the best '00/'01 S I could find. One with medium mileage...a pattern that showed continuous use. And one with some service records would be best.

(owned a '99 and a '01S)
