I'd go :

1. New '19 BRZ if you can afford it (tranny / color you want) , limited or PP would be best.
2. get a '18 BRZ (limited or PP) , end of year deal, between now and Jan. , some kind of a good discount off new, $700-1000
3. a '17 BRZ limited or PP , if it's clean (under 15k miles), 1 owner, $20-22k
4. a '15-'16 , either BRZ Limited or FR-S, tranny and color you want, cleanest you can find, 1-owner (not sure on price here).

**#2 sounds like the ticket, good likelihood you can score something here , #3 and #4 are a roll of the dice.
