And yes, according to me, BRZ Limited is a $30k car, I count taxes etc. That's what I paid out the door in April (Chicago taxes, new plates). In comparison, my other car I bought new, is 2008 Lexus IS250. I paid $30K for it out the door with some options. After the year, car was still worth more than $24k. Don't look at statistics, look at real life. I don't know how the market with BRZ's looks in CALI, but if you pay marked up price at this point of time, where there is no more shortage of this model- You are a moron or rich kid who don't give a damn, if he pays 2-4k more over MSRP (that's an entry level turbo kit right there).
OTD price varies considerably from state to state. Anyone in the continental US can get a Limited for about $26K before tax, tag, title if they are willing to ship the car. Some states, tax, tag, and title will be well under $1K, so the BRZ is not really a $30K car depending on where you live. I live in the midwest and paid $29K out the door on my Limited.
