I really think this is a strong sign that Toyota is letting the 86 die in favor of the new Supra. Without the 86 supporting production, the unit cost of the BRZ must be skyrocketing unless they are using parts already in inventory and they have other uses for the line. I got my 18 BRZ Limited for $3200 below sticker in April for a car that was ordered from the factory.
I actually feel pretty good that we probably got the end of the run so all of the upgrades and fixes are there. My car is quieter and smoother than I expected and the upgrade in infotainment to include Android Auto/CarPlay is a welcome addition.
Enjoy....

I’m sure if someone wasn’t picky on color and don’t mind traveling, a tS can be had for 5-6k off. This was literally the last white one within reasonable driving distance and the dealer was also willing to negotiate. The rest of the dealers are only discounting 1-3k.
I also think the tS will hold slightly better resale than the base, which is why I picked a slightly more expensive BRZ trim over the base. I’m sure I could turn it around and sell it for 27k in a year or two without any problem.
I think the 17 mid year refresh will last until 2020. After that, they may choose to discontinue the car. The platform will be very old and it may not be worth the investment to redesign a new one. Toyota may choose to focus their sales on the Supra instead.
