For the record, STi, when first introduced, had a HUGE rebound period where the cars had fallen to 16-18k for GOOD examples 7-8 years.
Economy factors included, the price has rebounded. However, you can still find STis for good used prices.
WRX prices, however, are much lower.
RS prices, which is what I would compare a base model BRZ to, have hit floor at 6-7k range... but they are mostly 100k+ miles. The good ones are still around 10k, which is about the going price for an older, functional, lower milage and HP sports car (see Miata for an example).
Yes, there was a sales high followed by the flood, followed by the initial loss for those jumping in quick and jumping out quick.
However, those are always the idi... whales that the new car market is looking for.
Try lightly used sometime, in the 3-5 year range max. If you can afford that, you can afford to own and maintain the car. Else, look at cars you can afford.
Never buy new unless there is an OVERWHELMINGLY good reason, or you are fine with this loss (which you may be at times, and is fine).
