I can't speak to the 2022 car since that would be predicting the future, but I can say that I bought my 2016 Limited for 26.8k (plus tax) brand new, and sold it about 2.5 years later to Carmax for 16k. Granted that's a little bit lower than market value, but you get the idea. Also, that car had a 25% higher insurance cost compared to the other "normal" cars I had before and after it (2010 Chevy Cobalt and 2016 Mazda 3). The BRZ takes premium gas as well, which again is about 25% higher than regular gas. Consumables are pretty standard price wise. Tires are a relatively common size. Oil is synthetic, which is only a tiny bit more expensive if you change it yourself, maybe a few dollars. But then again, what new car doesn't run synthetic now? I do feel like these cars depreciate more than say a Camry or Accord would, but outside of that just gas and insurance is a little more expensive. Everything else is pretty standard.
