My buddy has one of those. It's red on black. He loves it but likes my car more now after driving it, but he said he's going to to wait for a brz sti to become available

89 nissan sil80

I sold my 89 nissan sil80 to my friend. I had a bunch of hks parts, sr black top swap with 5 lug and lsd blah blah blah list goes on. Fiance couldn't drive stick so she was annoyed the car was taking up garage space along with my motorcycles.......



I also traded in my 99 e36 m3 convertible with 60k miles to carmax because the fiance didn't like convertibles.......

on may 27 2012, I decided to just drive my 95 ek for the rest of my life and be miserable........Until 06/12/12 I decided to check out the FR-S at my local Scion dealership. They had an Asphalt automatic on the floor. I test drove it and decided to buy it. I don't see why the fiance will get mad. It's automatic, great on gas and not a convertible.....wrong! Drove it home and she said she hates two door cars!!!!! FAILED!!!! oh well. I told her I'm keeping it and she can drive it anytime. I think I have compromised enough. haha

2011 MX-5 Touring: True Red, 6 speed manual, factory Bilstein suspension pkg.

Bought it brand new 8-9 months ago for about $22,3xx... After shopping around, I recieved a trade-in value of $21,000. Pretty fair.

The MX-5 was probably the best sports car I've owned thus far... But I needed the versatility of the small back seats that the FR-S has for my two kids.

Would love to trade in my 2010 MS3, especially since I just "replaced" it with a 2012 MS3. I'm not so sure I'd get anywhere near want I wanted (or what it's worth) trading it in. I've got a general idea of an offer from a salesman but it was laughable (like worse than Carmax laughable). Maybe I'll bring them the car and see if I can get a better estimate.

Sounds like you should have traded in the Fiance.. KIDDING! No, but seriously.

The trade in value was at $10k, they gave me $9500 but then they seen they under quoted me by $520 something dollars so yesterday I received a check for the rest of the value. Crazy they sent me a check I was shocked. But also along story short the head light HID went out on both sides. Each head light cost $1200 employees pricing and i had around 170,000 miles.
