(Which I think is why so many are for sale – impulse buyers that couldn't afford it in the first place, or repossessions)
When I purchased my BRZ from my local Subaru dealer they had 2 used Fr-S's on the lot (red one, black one). One had 8k miles I think and the other had 4k miles. I asked me salesman why they were traded in he told me both were traded in for BRZ Limited's and that the owners wanted more options.

Smart? No. I am guessing the owners easily lost $3-4K when you factor in taxes, tags, etc. I would not have done it.
