i mean get it (first86) at msrp, drive it for a few months, then sell it at the price i bought it for

i'm sure people will pay MSRP for a slightly used one, if the alternative is not having one due to low supply :P

^ Oh dear, good luck with that.
This isn't an Aston or a GT3 RS... it's a Scion/Subaru :-s
How you reckon on getting back the taxes and fees?

that worked when scion was new and everybody wanted to have an xb but i cant see that working when a subaru dealer can give you the same car. also do you realize how much tax you would pay on a 25000 car? or registration? you are describing a couple month lease for like 5k which sounds like a bad deal

I remember simpler times when trolls put a full 100% dose of troll into their trolling... where's the passion gone?

I broke down and got my deposit back this week. I NEED a new car to dd. I kept looking at the FRS/BRZ and finally came to the conclusion that IF I'm going to buy a brand new car, I'm going to want leather, heated seats, etc, since I'd be driving it a lot, might as well be comfortable. Thinking about what a loaded BRZ would run made me look at other, similarly priced options. In Atlanta you can get a 2012 Mustang GT for $25,500, or a GT Premium for $29,900 with 0% financing. That kind of deal is starting to look REALLY good.

Actually with low supply and high demand it can. I know people who bought and sold first year coopers for a good profit.

It looks really good until you realize that it's a Mustang.

My thoughts exactly. How are you going to feel sitting in your mustang the first time you see a BRZ/FRS.
