2016 frs?
So I found the last frs in my area its steel and I originally wanted white. However they marked this one down to 22.3k. You guys think should go for it or wait for a white brz. I hate the way the 86 looks.
Supposedly its 2k below invoice and they wont go any lower. I told them I would buy it for 22otd today but they said no way. |

If you are not 100% comfortable with it though don't get it. You will just end up feeling like you settled for it and start to resent it down the road. Every little thing will make you think "I should have waited for a BRZ it would have been better" even though it could have been worse or exactly the same.

That seems like a great price, unless you really prefer the BRZ, that sounds like a great deal.

Don't settle on a +20k purchase. Buy exactly what you want.

Ya the brz doesnt do anything special for me it was only the color. I suppose steel isnt bad though. I test drove a 13frs yesterday at a different dealership and they didnt want to move much past their asking at 17k. For 5k more its probably worth it to buy new.

I bought my 2015 FR-S new at $3000 off list price. It had been sitting on the lot for a year. It had 250 miles on it. Is the $2000 off list price? I think you could wait a little longer. Remember, every month you don't pay insurance on the car, you save that amount of money. This is a tough decision. Good luck!

Wow, I wonder how we ever managed to back out of spaces before rearview cameras and synthetic lines on a screen?

I am sure all the grey and silver car owners will argue with you but I agree 100%. There is a reason the darker grey colour is called asphalt and the steel is only marginally better as far as visibility goes.
