You shouldn't. If there weren't folks willing to do that, you wouldn't have been able to buy one for $15K.

I don't. They have a nice warranty for when something moronic happens. People make choices about how they will use things. I'd never add fi to a vehicle, it is just not worth the risk to me. But I also understand buying the least expensive decent example of this car you possibly can to mod. No reason to buy any bells and whistles if they are just going to end up as decorations in your house.

I had already done some modifications when the gen 2 news came out, so maybe a bit different situation. Also, looking at moving this spring so that also affects this as well.
I have stopped putting time/money into modifications for now, and am waiting on an announcement of target specs for the second generation to see if it gets me interested in "upgrading". I have no interest in a Supra at the moment, and I have a perfectly fine, well-maintained, 2013 FRS (also bought new) right now, so why would I spend more money to get the same thing? |

Personally I wouldn't trade this car in for another version of the same thing.
Either wait or go with a different car. |

You need to decide what you enjoy. Do you want to track it? What is wrong with the car in your eyes? Be objective. At the most do a track day and autocross event and go from their. I bought a used 2013 58k obo series 10 and since have added the following
Complete BBK by RR racing Supercharger JR dual radiator w/ oil cooler intergrated Header+CB exhaust Flex fuel Wheels/tires Struts from 2017 and RCE springs Trd style rear trunk lip Front splitter Rear OEM diffuser Tom's taillight's And it has completely transformed the car. This car can be a completely blank canvas. Sent from my GM1915 using Tapatalk

Use one hand to slap the back of the other hand.
No No No I don't need a new car yet ! Read every road test/review of the Supra you can find. It ain't all it was originally cracked up to be....AND it's a Toyota Badged Bimmer. Personally I'm looking at the Veloster N with performance package.... while continually slapping my hand. I drove my 2015 FRS today, 50 miles, (it's got 67,500 miles on it)...I came away smiling again. Go figure after 5 years of ownership. I don't need a new car...No No NO.

Need does not equal want.
When it comes to purchasing, my wants typically kick my needs in the balls.
