Pay off the car, save up, buy the super charger, install it, deal with any issues if they happen.


my.. idea..
I could go talk to the dealer about their new FRS stock, they are currently trying to dump the scions as they are closing the brand. I may be able to get a nice deal, and then tell them I want them to install the edelbrock as part of my new car purchase.
advantages: new car service plan, edelbrock powertrain warranty on new car. I
may actually be able to lower my monthly payments
disadvantages: I will have 5 more years of payments. numbers are not in my favor.


so, risk assessment, If I want a supercharger, is buying a new FRS and trading my current FRS a good idea?
Well, your plan has a flaw in it ....... good luck with finding a dealer that will go for it.

If your dead set on supercharging a FR-S, I suggest you supercharge the one you have......
