Sure but I'm pretty positive a Supra will hold it's value better if you compare today's price and in 5 years than an FR-S/BRZ...
Also Supra makes a great daily driver even when pushing 500whp (or so I'm told from friends who own them).
Someone said something about "not being able to go back to CDs" etc.
C'mon, you know you can just upgrade the in car entertainment right? :P
That's not valid argument for me
In my opinion buying a new car the depreciation is much worse than buying an old car and repairing it. At least you're getting something for the money spent, not just down the drain really... What do you guys think?
BTW: I have a question for you guys, do you get any taxation on your car per year depending on displacement or anything else?
Because here we get like $800 USD for a 3.0L engine car (Supra) versus $300 USD for a 2.0L engine PER YEAR - Rotary cars get a $74 tax/year
That's one more thing to consider here...!
