Hello Everyone!
I just picked up my 2013 10 Series last week! It's in not-so-great shape thanks to a young reckless previous owner, but after going through it thoroughly and settling on a good price, I bought it! Plus, I figured how likely is it I'm going to find a used FR-S which was babied/driven by a retiree to and from the grocery store. I can't wait to work on it to bring it up to great shape and then see where it wants to go from there! ![]() ![]() |

Hi everyone! So my car makes this weird cricket noise?
Jokes aside, I've been out of the car game for a while. I used to be into Honda's (still am, just don't own one) and have owned 3 Si's and a JCW Cooper Clubman...which broke down three times over 5k miles ![]() Anyway, two weeks ago I traded my last Si for a 2014 Raven FR-S. It only had 4,000 miles on it and has the TRD exhaust which I'm a fan of. My car was reaching 200k and I was originally planning on trading for a new Si, but had been interested in the FR-S/BRZ since they came out and I decided to drive one to see what they were all about. About a minute into the drive I was sold. I also own a 1995 Miata and it reminded me of a much more refined version...with a roof. I've driven a lot of cars and I'd have to say the FR-S is probably one of the most fun. Looking forward to the years to come with this awesome car. I'm trying to keep it stock for now, but have had a hard time doing so with most of my vehicles. I've swapped the badges already because I was never big on the Scion brand. Here are some pics from my phone. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Hey!
Had a question and didn't know which subforum to post it in _shrug_ Have any of you bought certified a pre-owned FRS? Sometime later this year or early next I'm finally getting one and I was leaning toward getting one that way since it would be cheaper. Is that a decent way to go with this car? |

I see people on the "how much did you pay" thread buy pre-owned, some with a lot of miles, so it is a decent way to go. Just check the carfax to make sure it had no accidents and what kind of warranty you're getting. Buying CPO certainly makes sense financially to a lot of folks. Maybe PM some of the used buyers and ask if they've encountered any issues. |
