To trade or nah - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

o1gnah · 09-26-2020, 09:41 AM

Was at a dealership yesterday and have been thinking about trading my 2013 frs for a 2015 charger. 63k vs 129k. I like the space in the charger but feels like a boat! Also have eyes on a srt4 waiting to hear back from seller. Thoughts?

No thoughts on this.

i've been thinking of trading my ranger for a barge lately as well.

turns out, there's some issues registering a barge for road use though.

the 86 and charger are literally on opposite ends of the car spectrum. the 86 is a subtle, nuanced driver-focused ninja-like car.

the charger is a freaking antique e-class tank, designed originally for occupancy comfort away from the noise of the irritating world, and altered by dodge for insane straight line power, which means that it turns despite it's preference.

the charger/challenger owners i've met, the nice ones are a minority. i believe you must pick up your local mopar group sticker when you register your plates, and sign a release saying you'll talk down to any imports upon registering.

What “Charger”? There are like 20 trim levels with some being pretty decent (For what they are) and some being totally abysmal.
Just don’t get black because having traffic hit the brakes and slow down every single time you come up behind the gets old fast.

Wait, so you would be trading in for a Charger that has double the mileage of your FR-S? Yeah, I would not entertain that thought. Only way I would get a Charger is if it is new and nothing lower than a Scat Pack.

That sounds like a really stupid idea just from a practical standpoint, unless they are paying you money for the swap. And I think this is like the 5th post where I've used the word "stupid" on this forum.

You are going from a relatively low mile (mostly) Subaru to a high mile FCA.

If you give some more information on why you want to trade, maybe folks will offer more constructive thoughts and alternatives.

So with the V6. On paper the numbers look good in reality the V6 chargers are totally lifeless. Makes the twins feel like a rocket in comparison. You couldn’t pay me to take a V6 Charger.

Why is your scion becoming a paper weight?

That makes no sense at all.

Yep, it didn't make sense to me either.
