Cool you don't like it, then sell or trade and move on instead of bitching and moaning about how bad it is and trying to call out anybody that has zero issues. We have had this conversation before and as I said then you will just grow bored with the next one and then the next and so on forever.
Now lets compare apples to apples instead of sports coupes to family sedans
5 Year Depreciation Edmunds Forecast (not a random hand picked selection of prices from Autotrader) http://www.edmunds.com/scion/fr-s/2013/cost-to-own/
Genesis coupe - $7,531
Miata - $7,626
Mustang V6 - $6,298
WRX - $9,651
FRS - $7,509
Now things look more in line. So yet again your argument is skewed to present your point of view. |
What makes my opinion bullshit and yours fact? We have an emotional bias towards things we like, much the same reason why when you tell someone a political stand that they would normally disagree with, then tell them it came from their favorite politician, they will mostly agree with it. Bias is bias. I think it's useless because it's not doing what I want it to do, you feel it's ok because it's doing exactly what you want it to do. Easy as that.
Also, to convincing others.... how? How I feel about this car is out commented on 12.5:1, so if someone does take the time to click through a thread of people mainly saying the same thing they'll see my comment and think, "Hmm, I wonder if there's anything to that?" Then they'll continue on reading through comments of people mostly agreeing with each other. I'm not trying to convince anybody, just giving honest perspective.
We have had this conversation before, and as I said, I don't have the money for a 911 right now.
Edmunds means shit as far as what a car goes for in the market. But alright, let's try that.
2013 FRS MSRP $24,500
Edmunds Year 1 - $22,607 15k mi
Edmunds Year 2 - $20,946 30k mi
Edmunds Year 3 - $19,485 45k mi (Value after depreciation)
So Edmunds is saying after 3 years and 45k mi the car should be worth $19,485 if I did that correctly.
Unlikely.
(
Here are some for sell)
Again, within the same brand of cars this one depreciates faster. So someone like me was thinking that because Subaru and Toyota have a track record of high resell value that this car would have Wonder Twin's Power Activated. It didn't.
