Would you take this deal? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Well I checked it out. The car looks pretty much brand new. It drove like it was new too. The only things I noticed were Toyota emblems, and the door handle plastic was slightly wiggly (maybe someone vinyled them and then put it back to stock before selling?) but it was no big deal. They moved like a centimeter. Maybe it was normal wear and tear.

They were able to get me out the door for 20,800 INCLUDING all taxes, fees, title etc. I put a deposit on the car to hold it. and a mechanic is doing a PPI on Monday. I really don't think there is anything wrong with it, but just as a piece of mind. Kelly blue book was like 180 bucks cheaper than the price they got me, so I figure the deal wasn't bad out the door. Also my Mazda is almost dead so it's time.

Only other thing I noticed was a small dip in the dash above the head unit. Does it normally dip in the middle? Almost seemed like maybe someone clamped something on there.

Probably a phone mount or something. As long as it doesnt bother you I doubt its a real issue

Not really. That's what I thought, maybe. My girlfriend seemed to think it was normal and part of the car. Maybe with enough time it'll correct itself, lol.

Small dip in the dash, normal. There have been several people get the dash replaced under warranty with no change. Something about the glue right over the center vents right there. If its the top dash pad you're talking about anyways...

Yes, exactly. It's right over the center vents, the top dash pad. That's good to know that it's a common thing - although to be honest I barely noticed it. Whenever I pick the car up I'll post a picture.
