You tend to pay less when things are broken. Bald tires, spent brakes, shot suspensions all will decrease the value of the car. Who pays a lot for a car with a broken engine or tranny. Deals are out there when things are broken, especially if what’s broken would be removed and trashed for upgraded parts.

For the twins, how many perfect condition stock wheels, tires and exhaust components are for sale at cheap prices because no one wants them because they all upgrade those parts. I see no reason in picking a car that has the most perfect stock parts that you plan on trashing anyway.

In fact it would be great if Subaru would offer a cheaper BRZ without wheels, brakes, tires, stock intake filters, and exhaust. Then I could put my money right into the upgraded parts. My shed has a ton of my stock parts from an 04 WRX and 16 BRZ.
