I just got a BRZ!
 
Hey guys! Just got my first new car. I've been researching the twins for a long time now and it was an agonizing process of waiting to be able to afford it. I finally pulled the trigger and bought myself a 2016 Limited Manual BRZ in Crystal Black Silica! I am so excited and can't wait o hop in the driver seat. For now I wait for the dealership to get it ready for me by monday or tuesday! The wait is almost over folks! :)

Funny story about my BRZ....

I bought it, signed the title and insured it on Thursday. I was all set to go pick it up on friday, only to recieve a call while at work that when they tried to take ir off the show floor to bring it in to the shop to do their buffing, the car wouldn't start due to a dead battery (probably someone left the light on inside the car). So they had a SALESMAN jump the car and he shorted out the battery by putting the cables on the opposite posts of the battery. He fried the fuse block and the mechanics suspect possibly the abs module. Both parts are on order and it is set to be repaired and ready for me by Monday or Tuesday. And I have their assurance that any future electrical issues will be repaired free of charge.

So, my first brand new car, a 2016 sports car with 27 miles on it. I own it for a day, and the dealership breaks it before I can even take it home. Haha. I could choose to be enraged or to laugh about it and use the event as inspiration for the car's name and license plate. I choose the latter. Pretty soon I will be driving WiredBRZ (lol) into my garage. It was going to be JEDIBRZ, but that name and plate pales in comparison to the humorous name I am now giving it. Hopefully I can get my ft86club username changed to WiredBRZ as well.

How raped are you on payments and insurance?

Congrats, I've had my car since Nov 2012 and still enjoy driving it every day!

Sorry for your new acquisition. You'll absolutely hate it.

Enjoy. Beware slightly steep driveways... That clearance disappears quick!

Shorted, fried, electrical issues ?!?!

Do not take that car - tell them you want another one

This is what I'd do. Not worth the potential issues the might crop up down the road. And did they offer that "assurance" in writing? If not...good luck collecting on it.
