This! This is a car that needs to be test driven before you make a decision. The numbers really don't tell the story, either positive or negative. It simply must be experienced first if you're going to make a wise purchase.

Negotiating with dealer currently

WRB BRZ 9k miles limited

23,942 after taxes titles and all fees. Sounds like a go? Ready to drive down now if it's a good deal.

I would never buy one of these cars used. That's just me. They were meant to be driven and driven hard, so you don't know how the previous owner drove it. Just my 2 cents.

I bought my BRZ Limited with 4k on it. The dealer was asking 26,500. I talked them down to 25K. IMO there is always room for negotiating.

I don't want to take over a car that someone else beat up.

for the most part these things are pretty simple and bulletproof from a major mechanical standpoint. an abused ride is easily sussed out to a keen eye.

Is that why I had to have my transmission and axle replaced after 10k miles? Just sayin... I love my car, but these are far from bulletproof.

if those are the michelin primacy hp tires, i highly recommend not driving in the snow... at all. I did on last tuesday (in that glorious weather we had on the east cost), & ordered steelies w/ winter tires the next day, never again.... unless, of course, i find a HHHUUUGGGGEEE parking lot w/ no curbs, poles, or islands

& welcome to the club. guess if I see a WRB out by Conshy, it'll be you.

Yeah the the beater mustang in the first pic is my winter driver. Even then I avoid driving when it's snowing and my job cancels the day as well. Will be picking up winter tires very soon.

Also I picked up the car from Pennsylvania..then drove back to CT lol. Waiting on my plates in the mail in the next few weeks.
