i mean get it (first86) at msrp, drive it for a few months, then sell it at the price i bought it for

i'm sure people will pay MSRP for a slightly used one, if the alternative is not having one due to low supply :P

^ Oh dear, good luck with that.
This isn't an Aston or a GT3 RS... it's a Scion/Subaru :-s
How you reckon on getting back the taxes and fees?

[Sasquachulator]

Im gonna wait to see what a possible RS model brings.

Im not gonna be able to get one till at the very earliest late 2013 anyways.

that worked when scion was new and everybody wanted to have an xb but i cant see that working when a subaru dealer can give you the same car. also do you realize how much tax you would pay on a 25000 car? or registration? you are describing a couple month lease for like 5k which sounds like a bad deal

I really want the GT86 version not the stripped FRS and ugly brz version.

I remember simpler times when trolls put a full 100% dose of troll into their trolling... where's the passion gone?

I broke down and got my deposit back this week. I NEED a new car to dd. I kept looking at the FRS/BRZ and finally came to the conclusion that IF I'm going to buy a brand new car, I'm going to want leather, heated seats, etc, since I'd be driving it a lot, might as well be comfortable. Thinking about what a loaded BRZ would run made me look at other, similarly priced options. In Atlanta you can get a 2012 Mustang GT for $25,500, or a GT Premium for $29,900 with 0% financing. That kind of deal is starting to look REALLY good.

Actually with low supply and high demand it can. I know people who bought and sold first year coopers for a good profit.

It looks really good until you realize that it's a Mustang.

My thoughts exactly. How are you going to feel sitting in your mustang the first time you see a BRZ/FRS.

After some thinking I realised that after the new car smell fades away and the hype settles down as it becomes another car on the streets, you'll realise you could have bought a equal/better car for much less...Especially if you're coming from a better/equal car that's just older than the GT86...

In the end it's just a RWD coupe with 200hp... Coming to think of it, I'd rather buy the original AE86 for fun if I don't care for power...Or a Miata...A Supra maybe? MR2 Turbo ? MR-S ? Lotus Elise S1 ? Silvia S15 ?


If you do your math, no matter what hidden costs an older car may have, it probably won't be as much as the difference in purchasing price from a used to a spanking new car...

But I'd buy a new WRX STI

Plus you guys got all the muscle cars available for really cheap, I don't get why this car attracts you so much ?
