This car is impossible to find

Don't rush take your time finding the ideal BRZ you want.

I think my difficulties in finding this car made it more worth it at the end when i finally sat in it going home and seeing it in my garage. It took me about four months and about 6 dealer ships later before i found my 2013 ultramarine fr-s with 6 miles on it. It was sitting in some back lot all dusty waiting for someone to buy her. It was annoying, exciting and worth it. I can't wait until the end of this year when my brother goes shopping for his BRZ and than i can do this all over again

Just my advice.

I've got a little more than half saved and it'll be exactly 20% of my monthly income!

I read these stories and chuckle at how my experience was so much different.
I walked into the dealership just to look at the tC and kill time while my Lancer was being serviced next door. My car was sitting in the showroom with a bunch of stuff that I wanted already done to it. I had forgotten they even existed, had never seen one on the road and did not know a single detail about them. Looked it over and said "I'll take it" and made (what I think) was a great deal. Went home and franticly researched to make sure I actually would take it. Drove it home a few days later.

I saw my Hyperblue online while I was stationed in Cali at a dealership near where my current unit is at. I still had a month left in Cali however, and everyone on the hyperblue registry was like "zomg only this many left get them before they're gone!". So I panicked for a month that it'll be sold and when I finally got to the dealership, dealer said no one had even looked at it for months so he gave me a deal just to get rid of it. Don't really see how people have so many problems finding these things, they're just sitting ducks in Texas

It was the same with me but I was reminded about them when a friend had mentioned something about it. I got mine the next week, I was lucky as my dealer had 8 of them in stock at the time and they were all stored indoors.

What happened to the poor old Lancer? Is it still languishing in the garage next door??

The kind kind of mileage you cover. 2 year = 8 years for a normal car.

Good luck finding the one you want just be careful. I know a few that were boosted the crap out of then return to stock & sell as problem emerge... & that's only in my area.

If it's me I would stick to used Frs more? Cuz I know usually those boosted one were traded towards something of higher performance. Like STI, focus ST, some Benz/BMW.

Everything been finding that fits what I want is either more than 400miles away, or an automatic.

My experience is almost the same, but it happened months before the MY13 came out. My RSX-S was being serviced next door and I decided to take a stroll next door. I take a glance inside the Subaru showroom and saw her. I've only read about them at the time and was surprised at what I saw. I placed my order for Lightning Red and put my refundable deposit down the following day. Fast forward to 3+ years later and 44k miles on the odometer, she's still purring like she was from day 1.
