Considering a used 2013 BRZ - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Kennesaw, Ga dealership has a low mileage Brz limited with a lip kit in dark grey for 24k. When I talked to them they said they'd do 23k otd. I'd bite, but I have my heart set on WRB or white.

The HPFP (high pressure fuel pump) makes noise. Some people have crickets, some don't.

Do a search here and you'll find tons of info on it...

Ya. Mine was a limited with the manual transmission. I have a feeling the previous owner also fixed the torque dip, or I just can't seem to notice it

. Also, I bought mine from a Honda dealer (non-Subaru dealer might have been why it was cheap in price). No accidents recorded on CarFax. It was taken very good care of too because it was taken into an "Lexus?" dealership every 2 months for oil changes, etc.

Thanks!

What area did you purchase it in?

Also what is this cricket noise everyone speaks of?

Bethesda, Maryland. Mercedes dealership. They didn't know much about the car at all and were willing to let it go to make room for used MBs. I think I got lucky with the purchase.

is it common for other brand dealers to carry these cars?

They'll have some used ones where someone's traded it in for something else, sure.

I just sold my 2013 limited brz 6mt with 27k miles for $21k in the Bay Area. Took about a week to sell so price seemed right. Lightly modded ($1500 in parts) hope this helps

Start by looking on this forum's classified section; maybe you'll find a great deal from an owner and bypass the dealership markup!

Is it weird that I wouldn't even consider the Gen Coupe? I just feel like if you're not after the handling of the 86, there are so many more muscle-y cars out there to choose from that will be better than the Genesis. If you're a fan of torque, I'd take a used BMW 1-series over a Gen Coupe any day. There are just so many interesting cars out there (especially in the used market) that you can get for $25k that seem like they'd be more interesting than the Genesis.

I also totally agree with Dave-- if you're going to buy used, go private party. There are really nice cars to be found out there for totally reasonable prices-- you've just got to take your time and find one of them. Go see the car / meet the owner in person if you can. You can learn a lot about the car by meeting the owner and observing how they drive the car.

I'm looking to have a certified warranty on a used vehicle so I won't be looking at any private sellers' cars !

Also, I'm not considering a Genesis for its torque, but the other reasons... I don't really care about the HP

I don't see why it gets so much hate from this forum.

It's got really nice interior, and sure, while the drive isn't like the FR-S or BRZ, it's fun to drive. I'm getting AT so the gear box doesn't really matter to me and it has a sizable seating area in the back.

I also think the car itself is pretty...

My main reason in getting a BRZ over Genny is from the MPG and the feel of the drive
