Critique my vehicle fleet reduction plan

OK, I currently have 4 cars and I would like to reduce this to 3, mainly to simplify my life, but also for some cost savings.
Current fleet is:
04 9-5 Aero Wagon 106k (my go to work car + vacations + picking up stuff off Craigslist)
98 9000CSE 185k (wife's go to work car)
92 900T convertible 117k (wife's fun/summer car)
89 Porsche 944S2 75k (my summer/fun/occasional track car)
My thought is to keep the 9-5 as the roadtrip/hauler vehicle and have my wife daily drive that instead of her 9000. Keep the C900 as a fun summer car since these seem to be at the bottom of their depreciation curve and I could imagine them appreciating somewhat in the future, or at least not losing much more value.
Then sell both the 944 and 9000 and replace with something that is fun to drive, somewhat economical and can be driven year round (for my commute to work). I was thinking a Mini Cooper S might check all of those boxes - and I've seen a few of those at the track so it could even do that if required!
Sound reasonable? Any better ideas?
I would guess I should get around $10,000 for the 944 and 9000 together, so that would be my approximate busget for a replacement assuming I sold both of those.
