FR-S Price Poll: Are you still in, or are you out? - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Buying used....was probably gonna go that route anyways, unless it came in under 23k, which was a pipe dream.

In the end, its still an investment....there's no emotional attachment (yet) like with my 86...the real 86.

Being a business major, I've ran the numbers already on numerous scenarios. For my current financial situation, I really need a ~$350 monthly payment. Putting more down on a new car will do that, but it doesn't weigh out total investement compared to its depreciation.

yadda yadda yadda, it might be a year, might be 6 months...depends on how fast one (MT) hits the local Toyota used lot.

The price is almost exactly what I expected...no shock to me.

If the test drive impresses me as much as I believe it will, the car will be in garage soon.

I think it's a fair price and as it stands I'm still unsure. I love all the positive feedback we're getting from test drivers so my decision is going to be made after I test drive the FRS, BRZ, Gen Coupe, Focus ST, and 50th anniversary mustang 5.0. In other words I'm likely not going to buy till 2014

A used FRS or new one in 2014? I'm sure used FRS's in 2014 will go for 18-20k.

That's to be determined, might be more worth it to buy used if it does drop to somewhere in that price range. Hype sells though, and this also seems like one of those cars people are going to beat on pretty hard... so I can't say for sure if I'd be interested in a used one atm.

How bout the jumping ship from FRS to BRZ if BRZ starts near $25,000 category?

Until everyone realizes that the jump only makes sense with the more expensive Limited model.....

Because well the Premium is more or less identical to the FRS......

for some cars you still have to stick the keyfob inside some slot on the dash......what the hell is the point of that?

So you use accessory without turning the car on?

but couldnt that just happen if the fob is in range (inside the car) and you just press the start button?

Since you always have to hold the brake down and hold the start button for a few seconds before it actually turns on.

Jeff Lange · 03-22-2012, 08:08 PM

Press on button once: Acc
Press on button twice: On
Press on button again: Off

Hold brake (AT) or clutch (MT) and press (not hold) on button: Engine Start

There is never a need to do anything with the key except have it in the car.

This.

edit: Maybe buy used and spend the extra on a TRD S/C, too.

Quentin · 03-22-2012, 11:18 PM

I'm definitely in. I probably have to wait until late 2013 or early 2014, though. Hopefully they do some neat things with the RS. Factory aero kit, push button start, and upgraded wheels for $27,000 sounds about right.
