Hello folks,


This is my first post. My son is getting his license and he wants an FR-S for his first car. There are quite a few to choose from in this area. These 2 seem to be his favorites, anyone have any thoughts on which may be better? Both have automatic transmission and the standard features.
1. 2015 Toyota 86 GT Limited Edition (black, 33000 miles) - This apparently was first sold overseas, beacuse Toyota did not sell the 86 in the USA until the 2017 model. My son likes this because it has an Invidia non-stock exhaust (model N1?), which is louder and makes a cool sound. I'm not sure it is even legal here in Florida. It also has a spoiler, black tire rims, and side stripes. The asking price is $19,000. I could not find any info about the special features, if any, of this "Limited Edition".
2. 2015 Scion FR-S (red, 21000 miles) - This one does not have a spoiler, and it has stock rims and exhaust. It seems a bit cleaner and better maintained. However, the Carfax shows one accident ("Vehicle involved in a front end collision involving front impact with another motor vehicle. Front primarily damaged. Vehicle functional." It has substantially lower mileage than the black car and the asking price is lower ($17,500), although this is being sold by a "no price negotiation" dealer.


Any thoughts on which of these is a better buy? Or should we keep looking and try to find something better?
Thanks,
