I actually had a semi-runing s13 last year for $500 bucks. I spent about $150 getting it running slightly better. It got hit a little, insurance paid me $1200. Then I decided to get the FRS. Sold it to make the first few payments for $850. I 'm wondering if I can buy it back slightly above that. The dude seems to have gotten it running pretty well. Quote:

I'm a marketing PhD student. I spent 60 hours this summer trying to understand all the different value determination theories. As @Dadhawk has started to point out, it is really complex and I don't want to go back there mentally. hahaha. Driving my car on the highway is not why I bought this car. Oh, and @humfrz, my research projects kind of cycle. Right now, though, some of my focal research revolves around firearm purchasing and carrying and also something we're calling service provider absenteeism. I may call on all of you for survey responses soon

edit: @Dadhawk, for wear and maintenance, you re right about those being preferable miles. However, if I were to sell it- folks don't tend to put much faith in the phrase "mostly highway miles."

I live in Iowa so 99% of my miles are highway. If I was getting a commuter car it would be comfortable with great mileage. I've driven rat traps. I'm done with that shit

I could afford either, but that is more money than I can justify to spend and basically "burn up". It's a personal decision.

If fact, I'm usually the person buying the "gently used" car someone else wants to trade-in. Only about 1 in 4 cars I buy are new.

As long im banging hot girl i dont mind if its dark or in missionary position. I still dont understand why people care much about puting miles on the frs, its a sub 30k sport car. If you cant repair it, buy other. Rinse and repeat

If I was commuting a LONG way each day I'd get a different car with better gas mileage but only because my frs is pretty race car. Unless it was a long twisty commute
