Pretty keen with that price though right under what I was expecting

The BRZ in Australia was a 'middle' spec, and priced between them. If I recall correctly that 2012 BRZ lacked GPS and touch screen, and a few bits and bobs.

Money wise it was $37,150 drive away. Thats only 6k less than the new car 10 years later.

The Toyotas were 29,990+on-roads for the GT and 35,490+on-roads for the GTS. When I bought my GTS its cost $39,637.49 - that's with the pearl white paint and slimline plates.

So pricing is sharp and even back then for the money I'd pay the extra few grand to upgrade into 18inch pilot sport 4, and a 2.4l engine!

Professor google is telling me that top spec 86 $39,637.49 in 2012 is worth $46,269.90 today due to inflation.

I can tell you that Subaru have only 500 car allotment through to July next year, and 400 of those have already been pre-ordered. I think it goes on sale (online) tomorrow at 11pm and those last 100 or so will probably be gone that day.

So if you haven't pre-ordered, maybe call one of the the bigger dealers and get that in early. 1k deposit, but its is (or make sure it is) refundable pending test drive and finance.
