fr-s for $23,992 new, or wait for 2014? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Have you test driven the car yet?

As soon as I test drove mine, I knew I had to have it. I thought about waiting or ordering another colour, but, I couldn't wait. I went out for one more test drive with my wife and signed the paperwork immediately thereafter.

Anything under 25K is a sweet price. Especially in the Southeast. If you don't buy it, I'm flying up to the ATL area and buying it!

Good deal, that's pretty spot on to what I paid for my Firestorm FR-S a month ago.

Buy it.

BushMan · 07-30-2013, 05:11 PM

Buy it. Immediately. You're only cheating yourself the longer you are without it.

Congrats on graduating

I just graduated 3 weeks ago myself and purchased an FRS

seriously the thing holding me back is my job conversion from contractor to perm. Should happen by september, but i'm not entirely confident until everything is paperworked and signed for.

How long do these cars usually loiter in a lot before moved to another place?

That's what's unusual about that car sitting for three months. FR-S is Scion's hottest seller and in the ballpark with Toyota's hottest sellers on the industry standard day's supply measure at 26 DS.

But, if you aren't confident about your economic future, wait. A potential repo on your credit report would not only harm your future borrowing ability, but your job prospects too.

BUY BUY BUY

Gotta say, outside of being red it's a great price. Manual is perfect and it must not be saddled with the "fancy" radio. The only thing the 2014 model will be is more expensive.

Oh, and the Prizm isn't a bad little car. Those late-eighties-style Corollas are bullet proof.

GNS · 08-03-2013, 04:07 PM

So many people saying to buy right away. I say wait until your job is confirmed....then you don't have to worry (as much) about getting screwed if your job position isn't solid.

If you don't mind driving a brz limited. You can grab a 2013 from clint for not much more than that frs.

I say buy now if your comfortable with payments if not wait. I am a firm believer in taking my time. I test drove middle of may and finally pulled the trigger middle of June. Ran my finances made sure I felt completely comfortable, coming from a paid off 2009 tc, made sure I wanted it enough and had to wait after purchasing to get exactly what I wanted in it.
