Repair bills on the GTI are getting ugly

I paid 25k OTD on my 2014 BRZ limited with 200 Miles back in March. You can find a better deal. In fact, I'd bet your looking at Chaplins? That's where I bought mine.

John Goodfellow took care of me.

Here's the price of a new 2015 MT at Walker's in Renton. Up to you to decide if the one you are looking at is a good deal.

Let's say I get them to come down to $26k for a new '15.

'14 w/ 10k miles for $23k.

Hmm. Any other car brand its a no brainer but with these things holding their value really well I'm not so sure. I would sell it within 2 years anyway before the warranty expired.

I paid $22,6 OTD for a bone stock 2013 BRZ Limited with 13k miles. I'm not unhappy with it at all. It's really up to you how much you want to spend.

I lost $5800 on my previous car due to not holding its value at all, and that completely drove me away from ever wanting to buy a brand new car again.

I was under the assumption that you were going to keep the car for the long haul xD

If you are going to sell it in 2 years and if the resale price is going to be somewhat around the current price, I'd go with the one you are looking at.

Fun for 2 years vs the loss of a couple grand upon reselling... All up to you :P

Ahh, just wait for the 2017 model.
AWD and a small instant power turbo.

its to be amphibious aswell.

Lonewolf · 05-25-2015, 11:46 PM

Heck you might be able to get a new 2015 for just a little bit more from
Heuberger Motors in Colorado...they can ship to you...

Bought my 2015 Series.blue for 26.7, 28 OTD, lightly used at 2500 miles, loving it.

headtrauma · 05-26-2015, 02:48 AM

That deal doesn't strike me as great. I bought a 15 Limited 6MT for $26.4 back in March. I'd recommend getting price quotes from Eastside Subaru to see what they're willing to do on new. I didn't end up buying from them, but they quoted me $26.5 on a very similar car to what I ended up with.

donoman · 05-26-2015, 02:59 AM

$23K is fair deal.
$22K is a good deal.
$20K is a screaming deal.

F3RGY68 · 05-26-2015, 10:56 AM

I would say no, but I'm a little biased. I'm also on the other side of the country.

thill · 05-26-2015, 11:49 AM

Seems like a fair deal, if you are only going to keep the car for 2 years you should be the used one as that 2015 will lose a few thousand the second you buy it off the lot.

You will most likely find a better deal from a private seller, but now that we are in spring/summer these cars are more popular. The best deals on these cars are in the winter.

Was back and forth and the best deal I could get was $26.5k on a new one, with taxes this was a $3.8k difference off the $23k used one.

Pulled the trigger on the used one last night, chipped the windshield driving home and now looking for dark tail lights.

Thanks everyone
