Purchasing Information

Hello!

I'm making this thread as a noobie to the car world as I plan on making an upcoming car purchase.

I'm currently in the market for the FRS in particular, but also looking at a few 2012 MX-5's currently.

I found a 2013 today locally for about $11,500 with 80k miles on it. It's going to be a first car for me and I know insurance is going to kick my ass. The other options were around $17k with about 20-30k miles on most. Should I aim for the lower priced higher mile? I've been so skeptical of buying a high mile knowing people my age probably dog them hard. This one in particular had some body work on it, looked like aftermarket rims, spoiler and brake calipers, owner swapped the scion badges for black toyota badges. It looks beautiful.

At the same time, I test drove one of the Lava Orange FRS' that had about 25k Miles for 17 grand and it was it felt amazing. It's boiling down to the quality of the vehicle vs insurance at this point

Anyways, enough blabber, if you guys could pitch me a few tips i'd appreciate it. Maybe even posting the miles you bought your FRS / BRZ for and what you'd advise me to do. Thank you so much!
