I can't get my FR-S! :'(
 

I can't get my Scion FR-S because I have to pay for college. Unfortunately I don't have rich parents and the University of Dayton is almost $30,000 a year. It was either get my Engineering Degree at another university :bellyroll:or get the FR-S. This Sucks :'( :iono:
I really wanted this car but sadly Engineering is more important. I'm pissed.

why do i think this you?

No......F....R....S. I'll die of starvation without any rwd and excellent handling. Erhhh. I can't breath ........

No cheaper state college you could go to? Just study hard, get good grades, learn a lot and then get a good job after you graduate. Then get the car you want. Need for a new car in college when you will be busy studying. Just get a more practical car until you have money for the FRS.

You drive a 2004 Passat and you can't get rwd and excellent handling? Trade in your car for a '00 Honda S2000 or a 99-05 Mazda MX-5 Miata. Want rear seats? Trade in for a '04 Mazda RX-8 or '98 Nissan 240SX.

And if you really want to pay for college, get a real old 240sx or miata from the early 90s. Or just keep your Passat.

In the same boat, although in Canada. Costs me about 15k/year with rent, tuition and food. But working off in the summer and next year my coop term starts (Finally decent money :D). Parents are paying for this year. Overall I guess I'll have to wait at least another 1.5 years after this car gets sold here. Buying used for sure (Hoping to get it around 18-20k by then, and importing from the states most likely).

Live through it, study hard, aim for that high GPA, get scholarships to help you out with that student loan. Priorities first, if a car is first then get them checked.

just think of how happy you'll be when you get the (insert future version) type of the fr-s! and you won't be living off cheap food while you drive it!

That's my Grandmother's car.

University of Akron=Not Good Engineering School and that's the same for University of Toledo and Ohio University and Cleveland State. They're not good engineering schools.

Teach her to drive manual transmission and have her trade in for the S2000. She'll be the envy of everyone, myself included.

In all seriousness though, an older 240SX (91-93) or Miata (99-01) make more financial sense if you're really insisting on a rwd car with great handling. Those early 2nd gen miatas (99-01) prices dropped like rocks. But they're built like rocks too. I'll bet you could find one for less than $5k.

So how much for an older 240sx?

Get 2nd generation FR-S.

You think they'll keep production to 2016?

I believe they will. Or you can get the last year model.
