What car are you trading in for your BRZ? - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

1992 Subaru SVX with 298,000 miles - not trading in, just retiring her from daily driver duty. She'll probably be over 300k miles by the time I get my BRZ.

Kinda sucks because I just had a new clutch put in, and those aren't cheap, especially in Canada (about double the US, from what I hear).

Getting 12K for it. I would sell it privately (goes for 16-19K where I live) but I need it for work and don't know when the BRZ is arriving. I'm still thinking about it. I could borrow a 350Z during that time but it doesn't fit my bag with lighting equipment in the trunk.

See if anyone in the 818 forums at Factory Five Racing wants to buy it. Sounds like it might be a good donor.

2011 WRX Limited with 20k miles

I'd like to keep them both, but don't really have a need for 2 cars or a place to put them. Car is stock with tint, 3M clear bra, and kartboy short throw shifter + bushings.

I usually switch daily drivers every two to three years. I have to admit that it's not great on the wallet.

I'm trading in a 2010 Golf TDI.

2012 Audi S4 Premium Plus 6MT - company lease return; we'll re-sell it as Certified Pre-Owned.

I don't fit the typical demographic of an S4 owner, though. I could never afford one if I didn't work for an Audi dealer! I might sell off either the MR2 or the 240Z; I don't have a need for three lightweight, RWD sports cars, nor can I really afford to comfortably keep and enjoy all three.

A 2012 Impreza sedan that I absolutely loathe at 65+ MPH in wind compared to my previous 1997 v6 Camaro. Around town I prefer the Subaru, but the previous-generation Camaro is a much better highway car for Kansas winds. I'm hoping maybe with the smaller dimensions, lower profile, and RWD the BRZ/FR-S might exhibit some of the better qualities of each of my previous cars, but one way or another I'm certainly going to replace the Impreza with a better highway car.

I wonder if it's as bad as the rental 2011 Corolla I drove recently. At highway speeds it wandered so much on the highway that it was downright scary. I couldn't drive with less than 100% focus on the road in order to stay in my lane, and even then, it would suddenly swerve right or left. I can't imagine any car being worse.

I'm trading my 2011 Scion tC BTW.
