It is funny to watch all the guys with really heavy mods worry about the "dumb techs" screwing up their engine during a repair.

Exactly. 99% of people looking for a BRZ don't want that. 99% have no idea what the recall even is. Of that 1% who do know, the majority will assume it applies to all BRZs.
Look at 996's, the '99 is the most reliable, but has cable frunk and trunk releases (eww!) and ugly headlights. They are always cheaper than a 2000 or 2001, and considerably cheaper than any '02+, even with a time bomb engine.
Buying a modded car is a gamble. You know for a fact it's been run hard, and have absolutely no idea how hard, or how it's been taken care of.
Pushing $20k for a 2015 model years with ??? left before something, anything, fails. You can find a new '18 for $25k I bet. The vast majority of people who buy cars aren't like us.
Edit: ocbrz66, The car is awesome and looks to be in excellent shape. If I were in the market for a nicely built BRZ it would be on the short list for sure. Selling modded cars sucks, been there, lost mega $$ every time.
