I found a 2013 BRZ Limited with 1790 miles (yes 1790) for $20,000 at a Chicago Subaru dealer - which is the budget I have available.
I feel like this is a good price and an opportunity to basically get a new car for 50% off. First question - is this price in line\fair for the car?
I've heard lots of horror stories about the 2013 cars. The car still has 18 months of power train warranty left. I asked the dealer to check that any recall fixes have been completed. I'm also scared enough I'm planning to pay for a 5 year 60K full warranty as well. Questions 2+ - is this a good plan? Am I nuts to buy a 2013? Any other suggestions?
Thanks for any feedback you can provide. I greatly appreciate it.

Even at that low mileage that is a pretty steep price for a 13. It is still a 4 year old car after all.
Yes the early 13s had some problems but there are loads of guys that never had a single issue as well so beware of the horror stories.
The only recall was for an AT start switch. The Service Bulletins are not recalls and the dealer will only perform them if the car shows that issue. They will not preemptively do them.
Your call but if I were shopping I would be looking for a 15 or even a 16 in that price range.
