How safe is this used 2013 FRS?
 

Hey everyone looking to purchase a second 86. Its a 2013 FRS clean title 30k miles however the car was serviced at 20k miles for "valve rocker arm serviced". Not exactly sure what happened and is this safe long term purchase?

No purchase is “Safe”. Even if it is new. Valve rocker arm service was a SB. Some will say it will blow up now since it was done. It is probably as safe as any other 2013.

Welp, my 2013 FRS has been used by me for 30,000 plus miles and has never been in a shop, except for oil changes - :iono:

Well, yeah, but that reverse gear, though... :(

And mine was at that +200,000 miles when I traded it recently, including 130,000 miles after the spring recall. Had never been in the shop for a serious mechanical problem.

If I'd had room to park it, I'd still have it and would drive it from Atlanta to Alaska with no real concerns.

Perhaps it was self driving to the workshops inbetween oil changes..

rocker arm was the big recall. Required for smog. 10k of mileage after seems decent, but I would try and get a 2015 and up. New spark Plug harness and no valve recall either.

Does backing up count?

Actually, the dent repair guy came to my house - :bonk:

Hey, the shop came to me, to pound out the dent - :)

Its about time to flash up the photo.. it's that time of year.. Becoming a tradition for sure

Well, OK - it hurts less every year - :(

Please. you need to try harder next time, and maybe involve a Suburban driven by a Lady that isn't paying attention....

Slight difference, self-flagellation vs having that pleasure given to a complete stranger..

Yea but a little additional speed on backing up could have given a similar result.
