Had a "know-it-all" type hit me with a 23 grand comment once. Told him I wish it had been that cheap, lol.

Are you serious? MSRP is $25k so 23K isn't that much off. The FR-S isn't expensive, hell even the BRZ limited isn't really expensive. Get over yourself, your car is nothing special or expensive.

Is this supposed to be a rant against people that devalue the worth of this car with their off-hand comments?

That's not where I was going. Just asking a question. Thanks for being so polite.

Nope. Just asking.

I have actually seen the opposite, usually people that don't know what they're looking at assume its in the 30's cause its a small sports car that looks pretty damn good!

I think someone without any knowledge of the cars might assume that because it has a Scion badge that it could be in the low 20's high 10's since its a brand known for making cheap affordable vehicles that look pretty cool. (except the boxy one)

$30K low, $60K high. To me? Priceless, until the Next Big Thing comes along.

tech4pdx · 09-16-2013, 05:11 PM

$45,000

strat61caster · 09-16-2013, 05:11 PM

$30k, I don't think anybody has thought it was over $50k but I always get a laugh when some guy driving an Infiniti or Lexus or Mercedes something admires my car and act surprised that I have something so "nice" when they could probably trade their car in and get cash back for mine. They usually don't talk about price though...

Out the door for ~$27k for reference, I tell people "just under $28k" though due to fees and I got a discount.

That's exactly what I thought. Your average person doesn't even know that Toyota owns Scion. Someone asked me if it was a Saturn the other day.

Kelbyat07 · 09-16-2013, 05:17 PM

Everyone thought mine was expensive.

BlueDubbinTDI · 09-16-2013, 05:21 PM

Lol Ive never gotten a $# (just jealousy) from anyone but I mean all you have to do is look at the paint quality or the interior to know it wasn't over $30k. If it was FWD and had a normal 4 banger it would be worth about half that.
