New to me FR-S

Drove to Ft Wayne and picked it up today. Best Fathers Day gift I've ever gotten for sure!

It's a 2013 FR-S AT (we couldn't find a MT with low miles and in the budget close enough to test drive). 36,000 miles, serviced at the dealer with records, clean Carfax. Zero open recalls. Paid $15,000 for it which seems like a good deal after shopping around for a couple weeks. It's in excellent shape!

I was so amped my 2 hour drive home took 4 hours! I didn't want to get out...what a drive! I love this car.

Thanks for all the great research and information you guys have on here. It helped me make a great choice.

Thank you everyone.


Today was spent tire and wheel shopping and researching low coolant (seems to be a common thing?) My temps are cool, no signs of leakage. Reservoir is just damn near visibly empty. Remedying that pronto...with the super long lasting Blue stuff as recommended.

I roll through there about once a month. Company is based in Indy, and my sister and folks live there too. Does Ft Wayne have an 86 club?

Enjoy your FR-S. Just my 2c: Cosmetic changes are up to you but plan your performance modifications carefully to avoid wasting money.

Go for the OEM one whenever possible. As previous post mention, plans your mods
