Basically, at this age, I've learned many lessons. I still have many years left. Right now, I want to experience the last year of the BRZ. I hope I can get it cheap enough where I can keep it forever and still get other cars. I've also learned my lesson on trading-in cars I love. Not doing that anymore.

I rather have a BRZ vs 86. However, I'm noticing 86's are still be delivered new. They are both built on the same assembly line?

Thanks!
The dealership doesn’t know you are ready now. Even greedy dealerships want to make sales today. My approach would be to tell them that you like this 1st gen but know the “better” second gen is just a few months away, as is the new 400Z. You are fine waiting a few more months for a 2022 twin. If the dealership wants to make a sale today on a car that will depreciate rapidly after the second gen hits the streets, they need to be closer to dealer cost. And be prepared to walk. The car is only a chunk of metal to a dealership. A low profit sale is better than no sale. And hit them at the end of the month when they are most likely to make deals. Stand firm and you may get what you want.
