I'm nearing the day when I can buy an 86/Fr-s/BRZ. Trying to sell my current car before I move on. Once that is over with, I'll have a budget of roughly $26k. I've followed this car since the idea was very first put on paper. At launch I fell in love with what Subaru did. My neighbor has an STI and I've grown up around Toyota and Subaru cars. However, owning a Subaru just seems more appealing to me. At first I thought I was going to get the Fr-s, but I recently found that I can buy a used BRZ for the same price of a new Fr-s. I would love to get a limited, because I would feel like my money went further (tooshies toasters, fog lights, spoiler,....). But that would force me to go used. Wondering what you guys would recommend. Sorry if this is a bit vague.

EDIT: Also, if said used BRZ is 800 miles away, could I use that in the negotiation? Or are Subaru dealers hard ballers?
