BRZ as your first New Car. - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I usually buy my cars a couple years old. I will be 44 in a couple of months and this is the first brand new car I have ever purchased. Wonder who else is in the rookie class with me?

Me!

I will be taking delivery of my first new car (BRZ Sport Tech) 2 days after my 46th bday.

not me! i have bought "several" new cars over the years! it's one of the main reasons why my wife believes there is "something going on upstairs" with me! trust me,it's a losing proposition,and i am getting ready to "bite" again! just sayin"

dori. · 01-20-2013, 02:47 PM

this is the first new car that I've bought, yes.

I'm 26.

First new car for me at 25 (was 24 when I bought it). I would do it again, it is worth it for the sense of pride that comes with owning a car since it had 7 miles on it and peace of mind knowing everything is covered by the warranty.

The BRZ is my first used car as an adult. I'm 35. New cars every 24-36 months has been the norm.

This is my first new car I bought myself.. At 34... But not my first new car.. I've bought a couple others with an ex.. I usually liked buying used because of the money saved..

Achpoques · 01-20-2013, 03:44 PM

First new car as well. I was 22 when I bought it, 23 now.

Lost my new car cherry back in '91...

I think it kind of depends on the specific car. I would be fine buying a Camry/Corolla/SUV used with low miles. An EVO/STI/any performance car??? I would bite the bullet and buy new unless you can get a good warranty...

That is one big thing I miss about owning a new car, that you have peace of mind knowing everything is covered by the warranty. I bought my scion tc new when I was 17. Then I ended up selling it when it was paid off to use the money to move to Oregon for school and now I have a 1994 Toyota Tercel (DD)and a 2000 Ford Windstar (Mountain vehicle for snowboarding). My Van is out of commission and my Tercel is starting to sputter (like if you were to floor it and release the gas right away, until the car warms up). But I cant wait till the day I graduate in a year to own a new BRZ or FRS.

I'm 33 and this is my 2nd new car. Didn't think I'd ever buy another new car with new car depreciation, etc. blah blah blah, but the GT86 is so good, I changed my mind.

Pascal_TTH · 01-20-2013, 04:22 PM

I'am 42. Only my first car was a second hand one when I was 22. All other were new ones and only *coupés*.

Burrcold · 01-20-2013, 04:26 PM

I'm 34 and this is my 6th "new" car, of the 16 cars I've owned in my life.
