This talk about resale and the perceived (higher) value of the BRZ vs FR-S made me think about how easy is was to sell my 4 year old tC.

53K miles and I sold it for just under $14K . It had a clean title, and was bought for $17620 plus fees. I did some minor modifications but I kept it clean. 5% avg loss per year is a pretty good number considering market conditions. A WRX from the same year also manages to hold its value year over year. A clean S2000 can also hit these numbers easily.

So, in this case the FR-S and BRZ should both hold their values high. The big factor is 2nd hand consumer response, which I don't think will be lacking. Reason one: the cars are NA ; Reason two: They have the same legendary Subaru/ Toyota build quality and reliability; and Reason three: the modifiers (both BRZ & FR-S) will condemn themselves to accepting a small loss because of the modifications to the cars and that won't degrade the entire value of the machines in the long run to stock cars. ex. Scion tC's, WRX, WRX STi, S2000.
