Would you take this deal? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Protege13 · 03-11-2017, 12:46 PM

I'm going to check out an FRS today. 2015, manual, Halo, 11.5k miles. One owner, regularly serviced, clean CarFax. Dealer is willing to let me have a lemon check or mechanic check it out. Should I?

They're asking 19k but said they're willing to negotiate between 17-18k before ttl.

Car has had Toyota emblems put on, looks like a new air filter (k&n I believe), and tinted windows. Otherwise it looks bone stock.

Would you?

That would be a fantastic deal for 17-18k Still reasonable at 19.

Thanks! I thought it sounded great too, but I wanted to ask the powers that be here at this forum

yup i agree with kaka. Under 20 would be good. I have about 8k miles on my 16 i bought last feb. So 11k on a 15 is not bad at all.
Look at shocks and springs. If they are cleaner than the rest of the underbody, you know it had aftermarket suspension. Just something to consider but woulnt be a deal breaker by any means.

Just go in there in your best richard rawlins voice, ask how much is this 15 thousand dollar car?

Awesome deal for the price. For all intents and purposes, it's practically new at 11.5k miles.

It's effectively like getting the car for 30% off at the expense of 11.5k miles. That's a deal I'd take.

Sounds like an OK deal. Unfortunately if you don't buy it someone else will.

Welp, back-in-the-day, when we would see a "cherry" looking car in a yard along side of the road, with a big sign and a unreal price posted on it ....... that's the first question we would ask if we stopped .......
