or "s&h" "green stamps",i am positive this is a considerable sum of money,and as such,
if he desires to wait for a close to "virgin" car,then i say good for him!,because i know it is exactly what i would do for all the right reasons! also,i would like to know if (s.o.a.)
told you personally that they "redline" every car at the factory? just curious,where did you get that information?..at $25,000 dollars a copy,you can bet your ass,i am going to be concerned,
regardless of warranty,or not,especially in light of the fact,it may be the last new car i ever buy!..just sayin'
Am I his salesperson? No. Do I have anything personally at stake if he buys that car? No. I am giving my opinion as a car enthusiast, not a salesperson. But from my experience selling cars that cost as much as 4 times what the BRZ costs, no one who bought those cars ever batted an eye if the car had 100, 200, 500 miles on them.

Do a search. Watch the video of the BRZ's rolling off the assembly line, and watch the engines go up to redline on the dyno as a final test before they get shipped off. Do you honestly think I make this up?? I've got better things to do than spread rumors and false information.

Again, to the OP, the clock is ticking. If it's worth the few hundred extra to get the car early, than by all means do it! If you want to wait to spend less and get a car that only 50 human hands have touched (instead of 52), that's fine too. Whatever your decision, I'm sure you'll be satisfied!
