Predicting pricing on used can be rather tricky. Predicting reliability is almost impossible.

Here are some realities that you must stick with (as Orbital, Alias & GT86Mods mentioned)

Every car will need preventative maintenance and when buying new, never ever believe that the dealer is always going to take care of you. They are a business providing people jobs and need to make money, so plan for it.

It is also wise to have a reserve of cash you can use at any point of time that you cannot, cannot spend on aftermarket parts. Think of it as a cash reserve and continue to pay every month about $100.

Always keep a balance of $1500. Whatever money you collect on top of that...take a vacation with your FR-S, you've earned it.
