It's clearly not what you're looking for. Don't buy it.

alex.s · 08-06-2017, 07:35 PM

ugh but it's so niceeeeeeee. i just wish i could have everything yellow but a white exterior

The series yellow BRZ is such a nice buy. I would trade my cherished WRB for it in a heart beat.

But you should really purchase the EXACT car you want.

Jidonsu · 08-06-2017, 07:43 PM

Buy a cheaper used one with lower miles and spend money on upgrades?

strat61caster · 08-06-2017, 07:57 PM

Spending $10k more for something that isn't exactly what you want is bonkers to me.

Wait, they're building tens of thousands of these things, the right one will come up.

Oh, sorry to hear that ......

In that case, I would suggest that you NOT buy a car that has a color you don't like ...... it will haunt you every time you look at it ......

Like others have said buy the color you want.

Razgriz · 08-07-2017, 12:14 AM

Don't buy it if it's not what you really want. You'll just end up regretting it. Especially since it being a Series.Yellow it's more expensive too.

Maybe you actually do want the yellow and just won't face it.
The yellow is pretty sweet and will get way more attention than white.
Which do you like more taxis or rental cars?

i don't like attention. which is why i like the white. but the yellow would look pretty good on the track... with all the black highlights? looks like a little bumble bee

LudwigMiles · 08-07-2017, 01:22 AM

Both are the wrong answer.

Buy a nice used 13/14 for $15k to $17k.
Invest the rest of your money in Google stock.

Wait, your sig says you already have a 16 ?
Why the heck are you even car shopping?
