I see xrunners going with 150k+ for what an 80k 13 frs sells for. Also.... utility.
Basically, don't buy a twin. I foresee more "problem" threads for us and buyer's remorse for you.

I'd be paying cash for either the BRZ or MX-5, so I am not worried about the thing being paid off. Also, the X-Runner having value now is exactly why it's worth selling. Though my truck in current condition will probably not fetch more than 8.5K. Since no one is going to value the sound system in it, and the other mods I put on it. Though new Sport S4S is worth $1K alone.
I'd tell you I'd regret either the MX-5 or the BRZ. Because of the reasons already stated here. However, after I made my decision, it's one that I chose to go with. So I don't think it'll matter at that point. The only regret I'd have is if we're really two years away from a new gen, and I buy today.
This is exactly what stopped me from getting a NC. I bought the X-Runner in 2005, and the NC came out in 2006. Mid way through, I'd figure I'd sell the truck for the FRS, but didn't see the value in it at the time, but my job has changed in the last 5 years, and having paid for the gas to drive 80 miles these last 5 years have really hurt me. Not to mention, my job also netted me enough pay now to make it a good choice to switch.
So I'm dead set in getting something. Initially I thought I'd ride it out for another 6 months, but since I got the ball rolling, and the new car smell hit me today. I think I'll probably end up with a car by the end of this week.
I would love to have someone in the family take the truck, but I have no one to give it to lol. The truck is amazing, but I've had it for 14 years. If it was a 2013, maybe there's a chance I'd still keep it, but I think it's time to move on. If there's one decision that's definitely made, it's that I won't be keeping the truck.
