The problem is, my family is not very comfortable with me dropping this large sum of money on a discontinued car. I understand their concern but at the same time, from the research I have done, it is to my understanding that the FRS/BRZ are practically the same car. When it comes to maintenance and looking for parts a +/-decade or so from now, it should not be too difficult, right? We are the type of family that tends to hold onto cars until the cost of repairs outweigh the value of the car (basically until they fall apart). So, to all of my maintenance/mechanic gurus, what are your thoughts on this? Is dropping 15k on an FRS a bad idea? Should I drop an extra 2-3k to get a brz instead?

Thanks,
oma
It would help me help you, if I knew "who" "the family" you speak of is.

(wife, SO, father, mother, kids, brothers/sisters)
