What car are you trading in for your BRZ? - Page 9 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

The CRZ, but I might have a private buyer for it, which I'd prefer.

I am thinking I might trade in my 2005 prius with 100k, but I think I might as well keep it in case gas prices sk
yrocket. What do you guys think?

If it's paid off, or you have a lower payment than the added cost of gas would be. Chances are, extra car payment would be more than the extra cost of gas.

I doubt a 97 Integra with 186k miles and fading/cracked paint would get much. Might just drive throw it on craigslist for like 1k.

I'd keep it. Keep the miles off the BRZ, and use the Prius for daily duty. Then you can drive the BRZ purely for pleasure, and save $$ on gas! If I had my druthers, I'd lease an A3 TDI through my dealership and use that daily, reserving the BRZ for weekends and track days only.

2009 Scion tC TRD Release Series 5.0, 5-speed with 32k miles. The BRZ/FRS is everything the tC should have been and more.

Possibly a 2011 GTI, haven't decided yet.

Miniata · 05-09-2012, 02:25 PM

I currently own:
1990 Mazda Miata
2005 Mini Cooper
2007 Subaru Forester XT
2008 Mustang GT
I'll hate to see any of them go, they are all fun in their own way, I've autocrossed all of them quite a bit except the Forester, and it has been a great trip, winter, family, and hauling vehicle. All of them are paid for, and although I'd like to keep all of them and get the new BRZ I have on order, my wife would like me to get rid of at least one, I don't want another long-term loan, and a 5th vehicle would mean having to park at least one car in my garage 2-deep (I'm 4-wide now), which would make accessing the one/s in back a pain.

I think I've finally reached a conclusion this week on the matter though. Our Subaru Forester will probably be the one to go. With that as a trade-in, plus some cash I have saved up, I should be able to get away with a loan of 12 months or so (or if the balance is small enough, I may just put it on my credit card). My wife has a '12 Ford Fusion which is now our main family car (kids are 8&9), and for hauling stuff I'll buy an old station wagon and pay cash for it.

Might trade in my 2009 Sti OBP, 56k miles. I have to be IN LOVE with the BRZ though.

Unless I can sell it private party first.
