FR-S/BRZ MY13 vs MY14
I am pretty close to buying a BRZ/FR-S. Haven't gotten to test drive the FR-S yet, will decide which one after that.
I haven't bought a new car before so I had some questions about buying during the MY transition period. I don't see any major differences between the MY13 and MY14, so my questions have more to with pricing and possible future value. I am trying to weigh the cost savings vs having to drive my 98 zx2 for another 2-3 months before the MY14 starts shipping. 1) Realistically, how much of a discount can I expect in the MY13 models?(especially considering that these cars don't look like they are being over produced). 2) Looking down the line (maybe 3-4 years?), how much of a difference will there be in the car's value based on the MY? Or is mileage a better indicator? PS: This seemed like the only sub-forum where both cars were being discussed together, hope this topic is not out of place. PPS: First post here, been lurking for a while. Some very helpful and informative posts on the forum. |

Welcome. Re your questions, from what I've read around here you are not going to see much end of year discounting on average as demand is still high in most regions - maybe $500? Geographic region will impact that number though.
Resale is mostly about year, mileage is secondary, so you will take a resale hit buying a 2013. I'd wait, unless you really need the car now. |

Pick out a few cars you admire and then check out Kelly Blue book on a model that is three years old versus a model that is four years old. Check the difference. That might give you an idea whether it's worth paying the extra bump for a 14 or settle on a 13.

If allot of the problems have been fixed in the 2014, the 2013 will have a very low resale value.

Thanks for the replies.

Would those fixes not be applied to the MY13 as TSBs? |

You will most likely have more negotiating room on a 13 BRZ than a 13 FR-S, as most Scion dealers stick to "Pure Price".
If you cannot get a FR-S/BRZ for well under MSRP you might as well wait for the 14 model. |
