It's a great car, do it.

It probably won't feel like it at first, but it's a buyer's market for these cars. Take your time, avoid cars with "stories." Definitely finance through a local credit Union. Check underneath for rust.

Good luck!

Uh...a buyers market? For now maybe in the next 3-6 months


With interest rates on the cusp of rising and an auto tariff coming. It's best to buy new now if you're going to before that all hits harder...

The twins specifically have shown average at best resale value, as indicated by dozens of "what's my car worth" threads on here. I'll leave it to the economists amoung us to debate if global factors can alter that. Otherwise, these cars are readily available, have niche appeal, and are only just reaching the end of their steep depreciation.

I really can't recommend this. With used cars you want to inspect and test drive before buying.

Thanks for letting me know about NADA! I almost paid too much, as I see NADA values are less than kbb. Using it, I offered NADA retail value on a 2015 WRB BRZ Ltd. 6MT this week and it was accepted. The way the twins have been quickly selling around me for clean examples, I am pretty sure they would not accept the trade-in value as my bid. I think I got a decent deal and the car appears to be mint, with only 22k miles. I will pick it up tomorrow!

also what is the release series 10.0?
does it come with anything special. i have seen a few online and they look the same as a regular frs

That should be 1.0.

Here is a crude overview:

oh ok i thought so... on autotrader some dealerships are labeling their frs as a release series but it looks the same as a base model. thanks for clarifying

Or did you mean a 10 series?
Came with a bunch of stuff the others didn't have then.
