I live in NJ and there are VERY few twins anywhere. (In 2012 I had considered a twin but sadly realized I still required a fully functional rear seat.) My needs have now changed and I am actively looking at a twin, only to discover they are rare in my area, used or new. No Toyota dealership within 60 miles of me has a new or used 86. And I found one 2020 BRZ in my area and one beaten-up used one. That’s it. My hope is to fall in love with a 2022 and grab one next year, from any dealership, provided the dealerships don’t market adjust the price.

If I may add, there seems to be a much larger percent of knowledgeable drivers on this forum than on others forums. Many of you actually race, which is amazing! However, I will also add that it seems to me the vast majority of twin owners are extremely hard on their cars. I know these cars are sport cars designed to be driven hard, but the potential for extreme abuse gives me pause to buy a used twin. Given how few used twins are in my area, it makes buying a used one even more uncertain. I’d prefer to buy new and keep the car for 100,000+ miles in order to spread the deprecation over a long time and keep the total cost of ownership low.
