Am curious if fr-s/brz's will be abused much. Like used miata's are pretty much all like new.
You'd think the most abused fr-s's are the ones already modded the shit out.

It all depends on the previous owner and how they drove it. You really have no way of knowing outside of doing a very thorough test drive, and having a trusted mechanic look the car over. Also make sure there is a documentation trail on all service and maintenance done on the vehicle. If the vehicle looks clean, drives well, mechanic checks it out, and all the maintenance records are in order (and you run Carfax, Autocheck, etc) and the price is right, used is a good way to save some money.
I honestly think the Miata caters to an older demographic and of course there are many more out there.
Supply and demand dictate price
I have actually been looking for an older Miata to use as a track/weekend car that I can pay cash for, but have not found the one I want yet
