Still $1500 more than you originally paid and not the color you want. I would say no.

I work at a Toyota Dealership. I waited until the 10 series came out before I purchased one. I absolutely love it. The Smart Key System with Push Button Start will spoil you. You will grow to love the color. You're getting a good deal if you go with the 10 Series for just $1500 more. Good Luck

like everyone else has said, for the 1500 extra, it is worth it. those headlights alone cost more than that.

How does this dealer do this? They are going to take a big hit on the value of your used car, and give you a 10 for 1500 bucks.

Not 100% sure, but, one of our members in our area has the Series 10 and they seem to think that the suspension tuning is different (read softer) than the regular FR-S more similar to the GT86. The glowing bits can be decision point for a lot of people, but, the climate control and push button start are pretty sweet. However, more than anything, if you aren't set on the Firestorm colour, everyone loves the HID headlights with the LED DRL's.

I would just for the features and the fact that it's a "limited" edition

I would do the 10 series for the headlights alone. Those and the push button start are crazy expensive to try and add afterwords.

We have an auto 10 series at my dealership and it is super nice. For 1500 it is a no brainer. Get it!!

For the features, absolutely. The HIDs, push-button start, and keyless entry and exit are more than worth $1500.

If you are dead set on red though, then you are dead set on red. Only reason I can see then about making the switch to the 10 series is if you really wanted the features and were thinking of adding them separately. It would probably be cheaper to paint the 10 Series red than do those add-ons by yourself.

Thanks for the input ... I am leaning toward buying the series 10.

BTW, my current red car has chirping, weird engine tap, and low on power ... either way I need a new one ... and it is free! Except if I upgrade to the series 10 ... then 1500.

BTW2: My red car had 200 miles on it before I even bought it because it was delivered to me by someone driving it from another dealership ... 195 miles away. They used a full tank of 86 octane then as well as filling it up for me with another tank of 86 ....
