Expected Price of car in 3-5 years?

[FRSDREAMER]

I'm 15 years old, and I'm absolutely in love with the FRS. Lightweight, RWD, and Power will make for a thrilling driving experience.

I know I can't afford this car now, but hopefully in the coming years. I heard people say the demand on this car will be so high even used FRS's will stay above at 18k for the next 3-5 years.

I really hope this car is not one of the Supra situation with the price:demand ratio.

Do you think I could get this car for under 14k in the next 3-5 years.

If this is a repost please send me to the proper thread, and delete this thread.

Thanks Guys
God bless

Comparable car - look up the WRX and see what it's going for?

Well 2007-2008 Wrx average $13,000. I got this from Edmunds.

For a $2500 non refundable deposit and a guarantee of KBB Value+TTL+$5k I'll sell you mine in 3 years

Kidding! Just wanted to see what it felt like to be a car dealership.

Depends on a lot of factors including reliability, production numbers, long term quality of materials, maintenance costs, etc. It's much too early to tell most of these factors so we will hopefully get a good idea within a year or two.

these things will be such great second hand buys it's not even funny. young man- you have much to look forward to.

Production numbers seem very limited, but it's also possible that after 2 years there won't be much demand for one. Problem is that with so few going to customers at first, there won't be many on the used market as soon either.

Not enough info to tell right now. Will the next WRX steal some owners away to trade their BRZ in? Or some other car / next hot thing?

If the FRS comes out at $24k, in 3 years I'd expect it to be about $13-15k, depending on miles, condition, mods (most mods reduce the car's value). A $28k BRZ might be $18k after 3 years.

Just save up and see where things go. Maybe you can get a part time job 3 years from now and afford a new car payment or lease.

Also depends which tranny you want. After 3 years I'm betting it should be around 2/3 the original price.

Thanks Guys for the feedback.

I really hope I can get this car for a lower price.

And is it really like that a dealership?

Depends on the dealership. Check out the sticky at the top of the BRZ section.

After the 2012 apocalypse cars will be the new currency. The newly released scion frs will be highly sought after because of its low cd. Survivors turn the frs into low flying biplanes that can quickly maneuver the mangled streets of blood.

Estimated price in 2-3 years: 1.2billion yen.

Don't forget color; if our BRZ pre-order is any indicator, there will be a few colors that are not very popular now. Those will be "rare" colors in the future.

[maxeveland]

if they decide to do some kind of power upgrade as well like the 2013 GC, you actually might see the price even more expensive, and then theres the convertible model as well which will likely be its own increase

Depends on whether people want those colors in the future. Remember there is a reason why WRB, DGM, SWP and SSM are the popular colors.
