You have a golden opportunity OP, go explore your options, more powerful hot hatches, pony cars, S2000, the new Miata is badass along with WRX (although maybe out of your price range) or any number of fantasy cars in the price range that struck your fancy (older Porsche, some classic sports car from the 90's, 80's hell even 60's and 70's or 50's). Hopefully you can borrow a car for a few weeks or insurance provides a free rental or something so you can take your time deciding what you want. There is without a doubt though, nothing like the 86 available so I totally understand this car being the 'perfect match'.

You're sitting on ~$16.3k, if you decide you really want an FR-S/BRZ again I would keep an eye on the classifieds here and fly out to the one that is closest to what you want (color, transmission, options), there are usually 3-4 available for less than $19k (I even think there are 2 under $17k last I checked) and assuming the car is good drive it back home, a nice roadtrip to familiarize yourself with your new buddy.

:burnrubber:
I'm pretty sure I'd buy another FR-S 2016+ only if they offered another special edition version with all the bells and whistles like the 10 Series/Monogram/RS1.0 (but not yellow).

For what it's worth, I'd probably buy another one if I lost mine.

He didn't need it on this one. He owed less than $3K on it because he financed very little of it to begin with. GAP insurance would have been a waste of money for him.

You need GAP insurance if you are financing enough of the purchase price that you'll be upside down on the loan at some point. He had so much equity in the car from the very beginning that it was virtually impossible for him to ever be upside down on that loan.

RS1 cost about 30k... and its yellewwwwww. would jump on it if it was 10k cheaper lol. BTW i will be selling a few things from my frs.

Buy whatever you want, new twin, used twin, another car...whatever.. Why anyone would ask a bunch of strangers is beyond me. If you want mo' powah get a "Stang. Or just spend the money on hookers and blow and buy a used shitbox. Thats my default choice. Dont blame me if you get herpes.

So many hookers you can buy with that money. And nice ones, not the diseased ones around the corner!

Anyways, I'd buy a Twin again if this happened to me.

Sure you won't win any races with it, but if I had to pick a responsible sedan it would've been my choice.
Not sure if serious :iono: The v6 is faster than the twins.

Can't really buy hookers atm. Not really a free man. Drugs are a meh for me.. only thing rhat get me high is the thrill of a nice ride.. have anyone own a 335i? Twin turbo with a decent interior. Worried about issues down the road. Just asking people for their opinion about cars. Don't want to jump the gun and get a car that I'll have to stick with for the next 4 years. Love the frs for it's uniqueness and handle but hate it for the dang crickets and torque. Anyone here own a genesis coupe before? Haven't test driven one since I don't have any mode of transportation. Come on folks... BlackJesus always got your back. Remember all the sins yall commited? He died for yall sins..

Genesis coupe and a ton shitload of Kpop music from iTunes. Do it.

Id consider a 2.0t genesis. Lots of modding potential, and most of the issues ive heard about them have been resolved from aftermarket/oem solutions from what i understand.

Id also consider a g35. For some reason they arent the most popular platform but the few owners ive talked too seem to really love them and they are fairly reliable to boot.

Also maybe even a slightly older lexus GS/LS/IS? Maybe a Civic Si?

You got some money to play with so consider all your options.

Bonburner 07-09-2015 02:59 AM
I'd get that Miata ND

fitcious 07-09-2015 03:05 AM
All things considered if lost my frs I would buy a used GS350.

Mim 07-09-2015 03:29 AM
Having owned my BRZ now, for 8 months or so, I'd honestly be happy to buy another. I can't speak for the older gen ones, but the MY15 has enough of all the bells and whistles, rides surprisingly smoothly (for such a low and handling focused car) and still makes me all giddy and excited to climb into on the drive to work each day. No car is perfect, but nothing else (for me) really comes close to licking so many of the boxes that are important (again to me).


Also if you list out all the things you wish the FRS had, would a higher spec'd model have been a better fit in the long term?


Is there any chance you can rent any of the cars you are looking at, just to get a better feel for whether they are a better click for you?
