Thanks for making this post OP! Made me realize another pro for leasing! If this cars value does tank, easier for me to just return her, after many burnouts/drifts and long drives to play catch up on my allotted mileage of course.
Then I'd really get to enjoy the car. If the car is worth 3K less than Toyota's predicted residual...Hello FT-1! But I do believe the few that said how it'll bounce back up. It's still new, but when production stops, we should see better numbers.
Also glad I went with a limited model. Push to start and GPS is the future! I can care less for dual climate, heated mirrors, and heated seats bc Socal FTW. But for real though, push to start was worth the extra cash imo especially after seeing a DIY...GL doing it properly. I NEVER touch my keys anymore...can't go back. I'm confident my car will be worth above KBB if I'm ever done with her. I know I'm gonna keep my car MINT. Who else would opticoat and spend $430 on tints for a lease lol
Also...fwiw, I think the values of the FT86 will depend a lot on
US.
WE are the fans and
WE play a big role in building that future demand after production stops. As long as we're still kicking and screaming in the forums
humbly(lets not let everyone think we're a bunch of close minded douche bags), once this car stops production, it's up to
US to build this car into a cult classic. This is what I noticed when I got my 5th gen Prelude. The owners are slowly turning her into a cult classic. They almost made me cry when I sold my Prelude. But then I just went to my garage and saw my FR-S and all was better.
