I see a 2014 FRS, manual transmission car, less than 25,000 miles for sale...Listed on CarGurus...CarFax one owner...from a Toyota dealership in the North West, asking $15,469.

That's about what I'd expect to pay. No more.

This car shown as 'low market value'...well, why not pay whatever low price you can find.


Best to look on a used car website which searches all other websites as well.

beware the '13s with early production issues. I have most of them, worst one I had the cam sprocket fail along with a new ecu. luckily under warranty.

With the mileage range of 50-75K, do you think most of the issues would likely show up by that point (and therefore replaced)?

Also, what production months in '13 would generally be the ones to avoid?

It is actually the late 12 to early 13 (March if I recall) production that had a few more issues than later.
You are correct is assuming that with that many miles on it the issues would either have appeared and been fixed or are probably never going to happen.

Valid point, but it just doesn't seem worth the potential "risk" to go with a '13 model at this point.

I have not had any major issues with my '13 but if it got totaled tomorrow, I would not be looking into another '13.

Oh I doubt I would look at a 13 either but if money is a factor and they are within reach then the risk may be worth it to some. Seems counter intuitive to think that the risk of failure from the know issues actually goes down with miles but it happens. There are loads of 13s out there that never had one of the issues.

True. The higher mileage actually helps in this case.

I'm around 23k and I'm actually nervous as my mileage goes up, that I'm going to have a major engine issue/failure at like 35-40k :(

Out of warranty now and don't know what to do.
