has the love affair ended?

[Jmonty]

I'm not sure what's been going on as of late but I see lots of part out and 86's up for sale? has the love affair ended on the twins?

Buy, mod, sell and move on to the newest hotness. A lot of people seem to be in that mode. I don't ever see myself selling mine though.

Till death do us part was my promise. And I'm a man of my word.

Just remember a lot of the builds you see on facebook and social media are just that builds for a company or promotion. So yes they will part out or sell the car to move on to the next thing. Only a hand full will build and hang on to the ride because it was built for personal reasons not business like myself!

[BRZPDX]

Only attractive models I see are Jaguar Ftype, M4, and C7 Vetter to replace the 86. I will keep my BRZ for a very long time, and go wide body eventually.

The retards have moved on.

[swarb]

from what I have seen, it is usually,,
-salvaged
-impulse buy, can not afford
-no power
-too small, baby seat, short wifey, etc
-out of the game, show cars, test cars, realized fast car is more than just turbo kit.

Or got a deal for a better car that they couldn't resist.

Reason for me thinking about selling is more depression from things with my my girlfriend ending. I've only sold the Perrin crank pulley so far. The BRZ isn't a perfect car, but the perfect car in my mind doesn't exist and won't for a long time. It is the closest thing to perfect so far though. In my mind something that handles just a little better, not having any power steering similar to my old Lotus Elise, yet still being as comfortable or more comfortable like a 4 series BMW, but also being completely electric and having a range of 200+ miles is what I'd like. Removable hard top like the Elise. I'm basically describing a Tesla Roadster with a little more comfortable seats. Maybe I should go test drive a couple to see if what I'm describing is what I truly think is perfect.

It's part of the cycle. The car is a few years old now, meaning that the kind of people that buy, mod, and then discard and replace are all coming up on their next round.

I'd say it's a good time for someone to get into a used twin, but those ones are probably the ones to avoid.

The chassis is exceptional. The power plant has its issues. All the work and money added up to make mine what it is, a bone stock vette or cayman can out accelerate and match our handling, even with my koni race setup, sc and full exh tune, ebcs etc.
Would I sell out and get rid of my prized brz?
I drove the new stingray and yeah, I would consider it, money aside
The new 981 and the old 987 are both serious engineering and more hp without turbo or sc
There aren't any cars that I can consider for the same money as my build, tho the new golf r is high up on my list and starts low 30s
Used c6 and 911s are easy reasons to sell

Condolences. To you and anyone else reading, I'd suggest avoiding making major financial decisions when under this kind of strain. (Buying or selling a car or house, quitting a job, etc.)
Best,
