If you plan to sell the car you'll be able to get more from a 2015 than a 2013.


If wear and tear are the same on both cars, you plan to keep the car for a few years, and drive with a passenger then I would go 10Series for the color, smart key, frameless mirror, HIDs, and dual climate AC. In '13 was originally going for a white BRZ (loved the color but not the front bumper skin) then saw the 10Series and that did it for me.


As perfect as the pearlescent white paint is on the twins the silver ignition is very unique and cool (unless you don't like silver... or light gray... or light blue).

Aso, are you going to mod it? If yes, then do you want to modify a limited edition car? A 2015 base model IMHO would be a lot better for modifying and you can make it your own. A 2013 limited edition car would be better to leave alone and you have the cachet of owning a numbered edition car.

If you wanted to add the headlights and keyless ignition you would be spending thousands of dollars on that alone.

Not to mention that as cool as the 10s are as far as "special editions" go they really are not all that special. Some paint and some goodies that the rest of the world and BRZ owners got anyway are not going to drive them into collector car categories.

Series 10 will stand out amongst a sea of others for resale IMHO. I have seen maybe 1 on the road and there are tons of twins here.If you like the colour AND IT'S STILL AVAILABLE IN MARCH, you can't go wrong. If the '15 is the same price, wear is same(ish), I see the dilemma IF IT'S STILL AVAILABLE IN MARCH.

Buy the Series 10 now!

I would go with the 10 series for the nicer seats, auto climate, keyless entry/push start, and JDM headlights. Badges are kinda ricey to some but if you like em then it is the better buy everything else equal.

Or just buy a used BRZ limited lol

I recently got a 10Series vs the 2014 FRS (the 2014 had lower miles but was priced a bit higher). The 10s has more options and looks nicer than the regular FRS I think.
