LOL, it still doesn't work. I thought the "official" part was a joke actually for a sec. Just PM me a direct link!

The "check me out on soundcloud" reminds me of this:

It's been awhile and I miss this community! Still a lurker here but good news! back to the market for a twin!! Needing a second car has been going back and forth, do i need a fuel efficient small car like a prius c? Or something i want to drive and will have fun at the same time? So a preowned vehicle is a choice to go and trying to look for something that will fit the budget. I will always go back to the twin as because i'm already familiar and it's just blast to drive. I hope i can find the right one. Just need y'all opinion on this one that I found. Livermore Subaru. · Exterior Color : Crystal Black Silica Interior Color : BLACK
· Mileage : 27,869 miles
· Stock # : 17U0503
· VIN : JF1ZCAC17F9605619









Car fax report say it had a frontal accident but no airbag deployed. Will I have chance lowering the price on this? Input is very much appreciated. Looking at private seller too and still doing search

I personally wouldn't buy a vehicle with an accident report/has been in an accident, especially if it's a DD car.

As for the Prius c, I wouldn't bother. Unless you need something that small, the regular Prius liftback (4th gen) gets better mpg, more power, better handling, more comfortable, and has better Toyota incentives. I'd also stay away from the Yaris hatchback (unless you find a manual, the automatics are painfully slow since it's a 4-speed). This is coming from someone who owns a Yaris, and has a Prius c and Prius liftback in the family.

The new Corolla would also be a good choice if you don't want to spend the money on a Prius.

Hey @tintumz22 nice to see you posting again and looking to get back into a twin!

I would personally pass on that particular BRZ as the price to mileage ratio doesn't really work in my opinion. Plus, there's the issue that it was involved in an accident.

Have you checked craigslist recently? I hate to say it, but there's always a large number of used twins popping up there, some of which seem to have been babied!

@tintumz22


Here are a couple better possible options I found while I was bored.
Both of these are under mileage with zero accidents. The FRS is Auto, the BRZ is Manual.

@Clipdat is right on the money with the mileage and accident factors. There's plenty out there that haven't been in one at all.

Yeah it's not on the website but when I talked to the sales rep it was going for $45K with about 70,000 km on it.

Thank you for these information! Yeah, I've been debating with those cars. Pros and cons and you have helped me eliminate and go down to few options. I realized that having just a small accident can be questionable in a long run. I was talking to my wife with those but she did tell me to get something that I can be happy with. As long as it works out with the budget. I'm always going down to thinking I miss having the twin as a daily.

Hey! What's up man? I was not expecting it to be so soon. I know it will not be a brand new one but I just miss having the twin and happy with the community that it is part with! Thank you for that information! I will be aware of it through my search.

WOW!! Thank you for doing this!! This is what I miss about the community! Will take a look at the brz one and see if what they can offer.

[tintumz22]

How about this one? https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/6089607339.html

Sorry for posting too much.

Nice way to dodge the 580 route to seclude yourself and filter out the other cars' noises. Sounds good

[Clipdat]

So this is with the stock midpipe?
