IM GETTING A BRZ!

Hey everyone new here ! I'm 18 and have been searching for a 2nd car for awhile (01 Audi TT is my daily) and have decided apon a brz ! I've test drove a few and found one I really like. The particular car is a Black 2014 Brz with 18inch Kong wheels and a invidia q300 exhaust, 22,800 miles selling for $19,850 from a reputable dealership planing on buying if I can get the price down to 19k hopefully lower! what do you think?

Maybe he wants multiple vehicles and can afford it. "What do I feel like driving today?"

I have three vehicles just for me and will eventually have at least two more, possibly more depending on what pops up when I have cash on hand. Nothing says we can only have just one car.

18 and working on getting a second car! Damn, I had a piece of crap Toyota Tercel when I was 18.

I have two cars now (well I'm 53 now), my driving gets split between my '13 BRZ which I got around three months ago (only had 9K miles on it) and my 2017 Kia Sportage which I just got.

Are you 18? My simple logic was that he was trying to get into a used BRZ for a good price. I offered up a solution that could reduce the cost and (in case he didn't know) give him a great daily driver as well. But hey eff it let's all get a bunch of cars!

I'm in Toronto. We get more snow than you do in Ohio and my BRZ was an awesome daily driven, four season car. Put some good snow tires on it and you can have fun all year round!

If I were you, I'd go to a local shop that can tell you if everything is good with the alignment and if there is anything wonky with the car. I have a thing about buying modified cars, it's not like I won't its just that I want to make sure that whoever decided on putting stuff and things into the car did it properly and got a proper alignment and didn't go around scratching or bumping stuff that shouldn't be tampered with, like brake lines or whatever. Also on the off chance that he decided to dump the clutch I'd really be interested in knowing if the clutch feels like how its supposed to.

Good luck! Post pictures please

I've been so fortunate to be in the position to own two sports cars at my age, not so fortunate on the insurance costs😂
