We are moving and I have to get rid of my toy. 8,000 miles, autom. Trans, excellent stock condition, garaged fair weather car. Tinted windows (legal tint) for Virginia. All weather floor mats and removable Pro-clip mount for GPS or phone on front of dash. Asking $17,500 obo. Located in Warrenton VA. Clean title. PM me.

I’ll try to post more pictures when I figure out how to reduce the size or you can PM me with your email and I’ll send some.

If you're doing from phone, you can get resize app. If you're doing from pc, you can do that in paint program.

Sold to CarMax for $17,000. No responses from this forum. Enjoyed the car but need to go practical for a while.

I had also advertised on cars.com and Craigslist, and didn’t get any real responses with decent offers. Also went to a local Toyota dealer. In fact, Carmax’s offer was the best and it’s amazing that people are willing to pay more for a Honda Civic or Corolla than a low miles FRS. I don’t get it.

I’ll keep Checking back to visit because the car is the most fun to drive I’ve had. No, I’ve never had a Porsche but I have had a Vette, MX-5 and Camaro, so I’ve had some to compare it to.

Before I post the following Carmax link, IMHO, your FR-S was well worth what you were asking for it and maybe given a bit more time would have eventually sold.
I agree with the Jalopnik article that most people are overpaying for Carmax vehicles, especially for a FR-S or BRZ. You have to know your prices. We purchased a 2014 Ford Escape SE/2.0l turbo with 5K miles on it from them back in 2-14 for $21K, sticker was $29K. Best price I could find anywhere. Still have it, 65K, and no problems.

I believe this was your FR-S. Almost nailed the price.

You are correct. This was my car and looks like Carmax already sold it for what you said. I just couldn’t get a bite except from brokers and crackpots. You cant fault Carmax for making money on it and but I couldn’t wait forever and don’t have the lot or advertising that they do.
