Ok i am pissed that my frs has lost so much value when i looked it up on NADA. I was considering getting a RS 1.0 so i got my payoff from the credit union. Then i looked up the trade in value and felt like jumping off a bridge! I mean are u kidding me! Why did the value drop so much so fast??!!

What!? I bought a new car, drove it off the lot, put milage on it and expect to have close to what I paid for it during my trade in?

Lavalover · 06-26-2014, 04:20 PM

Don't know if CarMax has a store in the Matrix, but if so, take the FR-S there, get their price offer, and try to sell it yourself for $3-4K more. If it doesn't work out THEN you can always go back to CarMax or trade it in. Alternatively, look at similar cars for sale at CarMax and try to sell yours at about the same price. Are you still under warranty?

Of course a dealer who sees a buyer looking to replace a 2-year-old car with a newer model will assume that you have money to burn and will give you a royal workover.

Why on earth would you trade in for a RS 1.0?

civicdrivr · 06-26-2014, 04:28 PM

If you like to trade cars in every two years, buying them outright is not the right method for you.

With that said, I'm actually content with my value. 43k miles and worth just shy of $17k. On a two year old, "high mileage" $24k car (when new), that's pretty good in my book.

tahdizzle · 06-26-2014, 04:29 PM

I'd trade in for a RS 1.0 if I had a 13. Just because of the extra creature comforts. The other tid bits are just icing.

juliog · 06-26-2014, 04:34 PM

1) It's the same friggin car, just riced out from factory

2) Car depreciation

tahdizzle · 06-26-2014, 04:42 PM

While I agree. Fundamentally it is the same car.

But it has all of the parts the majority of people on this forum want at a fraction of the cost that you can finance.

Well as soon as inflation out paces new car depreciation new cars will be an investment! Bound to happen, right?

8R6 · 06-26-2014, 05:22 PM

how high of a bridge are you talking?

mackdaddytran · 06-26-2014, 05:24 PM

lol@this thread. Car is going to depreciate no matter what, these cars still hold their value better than most things out there.

At 30k miles, kbb says my car is still worth 23k if I sold private party

I am 51 years old. My BRZ is the first new car I have ever purchased. It is the first time I have ever been able to rationalize walking off the lot and basically throwing 3K of dough out the window. I actually visualized this as I drove off the lot. It was quite a buzz in the way that doing something stupid can be exhilarating.

There is nothing sane about buying a new car. I am not saying it isn't fun - it is certainly not wise no matter how much cash you have on hand.
