Btw, 6k units in a year? For reference, they built about 3,500 "M" Edition Miatas each year from '94-97. Thats nearly 20 years ago. Do you know how often an M Edition Miata comes up for sale? Pretty often. (note: carfax lists every Miata as an M, leading to a lot of confusion in sales listing by dealers - half are actually M's)

They made 1,500 STO Model Miatas, total, and only in 1997. I was able to find one to buy used 10 years later within an hour from my house. I've seen two others driving around my town.

So 6,000 BRZ built in the first year - if they stop after year 1, you'll still be able to find them for sale used 10 years from now, though selection may be poor and finding an unmodified one or low mileage one could take patience.
