so im getting frs really soon and here are the car's price&specs and whatnot...

certified 2013 10 series
25,000 miles
clean title
has not been tuned at all which I like

$16,000 excludes tax, tag, title and warranty rights act fees

what do you guys think ? havent seen the car in person yet but sounds pretty decent to me ... dunno... I need opinion from frs lovers out there haha

It all depends on the area you are in and what the other ones are going for. You are in my general area(South East) and if I was in the market for one I would talk them down some.
That price is on the high end of what it should be in my zip code. I see $14-16k for it on kbb.com Maybe in your area that's a good deal?

yeah you are right ... im so stupid not even checking KBB ... i mustve been so excited haha ... anyway i just checked KBB and it shows that fair market ranges are $14k-$16k which is what exactly you said but on the right side cover with red categorized section says certified pre-owned prices are $16.8k. so should i think price for the car that im looking for is around $16.8k ? sorry im not really good at looking into these kind of stuffs ...

EDIT: please follow below link and tell me if i should look at green or red area ... im assuming its red but just wanna make sure ... thank you guys so much

yes both transmission and color are excellent in my eyes
if it sounds alright to you then its good to me ... at least im not getting ripped off or anything ... thank you again !

Impureclient · 01-23-2017, 02:52 AM

Red area is for the certified preowned in your link so at $16K, you are OK. What kind of warranty are they giving for it? My Toyota dealer has a 200k/20 year powertrain warranty
on everything certified preowned they sell. Sometimes it's better to travel to get the right deal especially on a used car.

If the car is being offered by a dealer and there is an internet ad for it, I suggest you post a link on the forum ..... maybe we can "see" something you should examine further.

lol sometimes i wish i live in eastern.
I bought mine 23k + 2k extended warranty. 25k out the door with 19000 miles and free oil change + service until 36k. If its MT, then it is even more worth to buy it because there arent much MT produce for 10 series.

As 10 series owner, I welcome you...haha

finch1750 · 01-23-2017, 01:01 PM

It's $1,487.99 too much

Mr.ac · 01-23-2017, 11:58 PM

For my area that's more in the average price wise. Look it over real good, test drive it. If you like it, go for it.

user4815 · 01-24-2017, 12:15 AM

I purchased my Series 10 with 60,000 miles for $16,000... So to me, it's a screaming deal, but up here in the NW most lower mileage FR-S are between $18,000 and $20,000.

I also bought in August, which was probably the worst time of the year to buy a "sports car" up here.

Celica00 · 01-24-2017, 11:37 AM

Even if it's slightly more than fair market price, I think that's an ok premium to pay for the exact color/transmission you want.

carsebuco · 01-24-2017, 11:48 AM

Bought mine 6 months ago with 45k miles for $18k. Sounds more than reasonable for that price.

(Then again, it was a BRZ)
