I might even wait a year. I want to get it "at the right time"

[SteelReign]

I'm still on the fence and I really love the idea of the FR-S and BRZ but tomorrow I'm test driving a 2005 Acura RSX type S. Its going to be less than half the cost of a new FR-S and BRZ.

I want to see how the reliability goes for the FR-S/BRZ and maybe get a later-model year, maybe used. With that time schedule, I'd be getting the car in 5 years maybe. Why not have fun with a cheaper car in the interim?

You're comparing an RSX to the FR-S/BRZ?

I have no timeline for purchasing the car. My cars are paid off and run perfectly, so I'm just waiting for the opportunity to drive the FR-S/BRZ, and evaluate whether it's the right car for me.

$500 over invoice? Wow, what dealer?

I'm just being fair like you.

where did you get your figures? MSRP for a V6 Premium is 26k + rebates and taxes and your out the door for 28.

MSRP for a GT premium is 32 + rebates and taxes ur out the door for 32-35

idk how you car shop but i get to know the local fleet managers before i buy for sure...you must be getting ripped off

[SteelReign]

Test drove a nice 2005 Acura RSX and I was incredibly let down. The car didn't communicate as much as something like a Miata and even when V-TEC kicked in, it didn't seem like I was going all that fast. Maybe I'll still hold off until the FR-S/BRZ

I just picked up a 2012 Manual GT Premium, with the comfort package and optional wheels for under $35k after taxes etc, and 0% financing. So yeah, shop around at dealers for actual prices, not just the manufactures websites.



EDIT: SUB-FT86 is in Atlanta, Sandy Springs Ford, (Just outside of ATL proper) sells stripper GT's for 25,500, and GT premiums for 29,900, good deals to be had there.

IIRC is it currently $2k or $3k the Ford rebate on the 2012 Mustang?
That's a nice bonus on top of its already low (for what you get) price :-)

I really don't care if it is or is not a chick car. It's my car, and I don't care what anyone else thinks.

It's your money. Buy what you want.

Ill still wait till the day the price is released. after waiting over two years, im not gonna jump the last second...and i don't mind the wait, it gives me more time to save up
