Before you all gang up on me let me say I love my fr-s.

Now, does anyone have any regrets from buying their cars?

I've recently gotten interested in off roading and yesterday I tried out a Toyota FJ, which is amazing.

Problem is our cars drop value like Aladdin tied to that rock and thrown into the sea (without a genie to bring is back up). So if I traded it in I would still owe 1000k. The Fj is 31000k with all the off road goodies.

So my payment would go from 300-550 xD. I can afford this, but I got student loans coming in soon which are gonna kill me. So just wanted to get some opinions. Anyone regret getting this car instead of something else?
I have a FJ and got a brz only to compliment it, never to replace it, if its the other way around I would do in a heartbeat. The torque makes the ft86 feel inadequate, not fair I know. Frankly, only considered brz because I missed out on the many great drivers cars before it, 1M, Cayman R, Boxster Spyder and that is something I regret. They are rare to come by and hold their value unlike the ft86. Since FJ is in its last model year, I would get rid of the frs if I were you and if money is no object. It is one of the last true body on frame truck based suv.

Kinda regret not holding out for a BRZ. When I got my FRS it was 1000 off (new college grad discount) which was a great deal back then since here in socal BRZs were being marked up. Now the tables seem to have turned and people are getting BRZs for under MSRP so could have gotten a BRZ limited for almost the same price.
