Exactly my point. Are low mileage, babied 'Vettes (of the sort the OP is looking for) now at the pricepoint of a new FR-S? Every used RWD sports car I've owned has had some sort of surprise problem pop-up after months of ownership. I've learned used sports cars are notorious for this. Now if it were a used family sedan or luxury car or automatic 'Vette, then I'd be less weary. Or if I paid the premium/got lucky finding a low mileage babied Corvette ($30k+ asking prices when I shopped). To me, the OP's question boils down to "do I buy a new sports car or a thoroughly used sports car?" assuming the prices match. I vote new every time.

Talking about getting it out of your system and used sports cars, wouldn't a much rarer supercar be more desirable to get out of your system? If you're considering the FR-S and its power level, then you might not be disappointed with an NSX! I'd choose that over the common 'Vette if I had to buy a used sports car.
