average valuation in my area on a '15 brz is $14k. i think just about anywhere from $8-12k is a fair price. first rule in used cars, aftermarket parts don't really add value.

This, get the VIN, run it on Google, 90% of the time the pre-repair photos come up. Then have the car inspected by a Subaru dealer, then a body shop. Ask seller for pictures of prior damage. Rebuilt vehicles can be a great deal.
