Dealer here in Queens, NY gave me my 2015 BRZ Limited (Manual) for 28.5 out the door (after taxes/fees). Wouldn't give me a lower interest rate unless I bought gap insurance to cover depreciation in case of theft, so total was 30k financed over 5 years with 2.9% interest. This was based on my credit alone as a 23 year old, no co-signers.

I'm just curious: Is the "sharkfin" antenna any better than the old ones on the 2013 and 2014 models? I personally think the "sharkfin" looks cheesy, so I'm just curious if it's somehow better electronically. Does it get better reception, etc?

i got my 14 brz for 23. but i looked long and hard for months to find the perfect deal before i bought mine. i wasn't going to buy anything until i found the deal that made me go "thats exactly what im looking for" with no doubt.

Doubt it's better. The OEM sharkfin is nicer than the aftermarket covers though as it's smaller and not as obvious.

There's something not quite right about that new shark fin antenna. Maybe it's too big? The previous stubby antenna looks better IMO. Other improvements in the 2015 outweigh this minor deficit, though.

I like the sharkfin much more than the stubby antenna that made these cars look like RC cars lol.

Also, 2015 interior for BRZ have the nice faux carbon dash panel, instead of the shiny aluminum thing. Much nicer in my opinion.

Hey guys, I just bought my BRZ yesterday. After reading this thread and others I'm trying to decide if I got a decent deal or not. I don't think I got ripped, but idk if I got a deal.


2014 BRZ Limited (1 owner) 5,800 miles. I got it for 24,000 with taxes, handling fee etc I paid almost exactly 25,000 otd.

What was the price of the car before taxes, tags, etc? It's how hard to know how good your deal is unless we know the price minus your local taxes and fees. Do add in the dealer fees though (such as the processing fees if any)

You perhaps could have gotten a bit better deal, but I wouldn't worry about it. Just enjoy owning and driving an awesome little car.

For reference, I paid 25k OTD on a brand new 2014 in March.

They were asking 25,300. I got them down to 24,000 flat. After local taxes, and dealer fee's I paid 25,000 out the door.

Hmm this is "used" but had 5,800 miles on it. But you got a better deal, I paid 25 also.. I guess it wasn't the deal of the century but I didn't overpay IMO. thanks for the replies

I mean you might have gotten it a little lower, but $24K on a mostly new car is not bad either at some point the dealer had to make some money and my guess is they got it for $22-23K.

Just looked over the paperwork. 24,500 for the car. taxes, fee's OTD is 25,500. But they included a 7 year 100K mile bumper to bumper on top of the powertrain warranty. And 6 free oil changes. I feel ok about it.


Car is a blast to drive
