Should I buy a used 2015 brz?
 
Hey all,
I need your real opinion.

I want to buy a used 2015 brz with 62000 miles on the clock.
I really like the car and it seems like in a good state.
But need your real consultation about if you guys familiar with any issues with the car from that years? any issue with the milage? is it a smart decision to make?

Gosh, I would say "yes" and make sure it's a MT and WRB. And, I suggest you deep dive this forum as there is loads of good stuff that will help inform both your head and heart..

Recently sold my 2015 brz. Never had any issues with it, and it was abused on track for most of its life.

I have a 2015 WRB with 100k km, about 60k miles.
Some track & autoX.
OEM TOB, so far so good...
Mods - OFT, ST coilovers & air filter.
Normal maintenance.
It's my daily, I WFH.
Not 1 issue.

it's just like any other used vehicle. if you're buying from the previous owner, get a feel for how well they maintained it, and if there's records.

if there's a lack of maintenance records, assume all maintenance from 0 miles to present has not been performed. i hold to this on all my vehicles, regardless of brand/year/model.

60k is one of the larger service intervals for these vehicles, should need new spark plugs, brake fluid change, oil/filter change, and air filter change.

I'm with soundman98. Records say a lot. I always have a file folder or manila envelope I show and give to the buyer when I sell. That alone has sealed several on the fence type buyers.

As a 105k '14 FRS owner adhering to the maintenance schedule. I'll say these cars are really reliable. I have no plans of parting with it. If the car has that record, jump on it and even pay a little premium in my opinion.

i bought my 2015 brand new and its got just over 70k miles on it now. I didnt keep any records as i have zero plans to sell it and nothings changed. Its a great car. Just basic maintenance for the most part. Changed the clutch when the t/o bearing was on its way out but thats pretty much it.

LOL OP has a single post from back in May and never logged in again.
Sort of pissing into the wind answering him at this point.

So long as they’re all pissing with the wind I suppose it is not a wholly unenjoyable exercise.

Who doesn't like "pissing in the wind" ? BTW, I am presuming that the Canadians are watching the Commonwealth games?

It's similar to the movie, just differs as location of the games move to different members of the Common Wealth..

Necromancy is a crime in many places. My cherry Red 2019 with 14,600 km on the clock will be for sale in a couple of months, when the Solterras finally arrive. ;)
