Looking good. I LOVE black cars, hate washing them.

So here's a pic of Crystal Black Silica if this can help sway you to the dark side.

For whatever its worth (probably not much) I am 36 and getting WRB because that is what I want. People are going to judge you no matter what (that is what they do), can't base your decisions on that.

I've said this before, but I was floored to find out my Firestorm FR-S was going to be a "rare" color. When I signed up for the 1st86 contest I almost didn't pick red because I thought, "everybody is going to order red".

I can tell you that since I had some 1 on 1 time with a Black Silica BRZ last week that I have a new love for it. It is a wonderful color in person and I wish I had ordered it over my DGM.

I also think it's fair to say that Black gets a lot more love around here than Red does. Lava even gets more love than Red FFS!

Never thought red would be a rare color, especially for the FR-S. Though future buyers (ie not us early adopters) my prefer it.

@Starscream15, no you don't lol. DGM is awesome.

You know what they say about black. Once you go black, you buy a porter cable 7424xp.

Well heard back from the "other" dealer and they too are lowballing my trade in. I will break even whichever route I go. I owe about 12k but i know they'll sell it for over 15 or 16. I was going to use the difference as the down. Maybe I need to start hitting up my 2 local scion dealers see if they do better. FT86 jump? I'm on the Subie for those HIDS and prefer it over scion brand.. but it would be cheaper for the same driving experience. I'll counter back.. see what they say.

Mykflo · 05-25-2012, 09:43 PM

sorry to continue boring you all with my dealership adventures. Turns out somebody who had preordered a dgm brz traded it for the black one coming in. so now my choices are WRB or DGM. However, they are still lowballing me on my trade blaming it on the BRZ limited availability. I was like, what does the BRZ have to do with the value of my trade? Edmunds values my car at 12,639 for trade. Private party sale 14,522. If they sell it certified used they can sell it for 18073. I told them to give me 14000 for it and we'll make a deal. Am I being unreasonable? Remember, they offered 12k for my car, i owe 12300, i'm asking 14000.

Galaxy Blue!! It's rare and uber sexy.

Turbowned · 05-26-2012, 11:02 AM

Sell it privately and be done with it.... Or at least ask them to cover what you owe.

Yeah you definitely should get a color that doesn't wow you because you are old.

Dude wake up! I'm 47 and I wouldn't drive anything other than a yellow car. Have had nothing but yellow cars since 1991. If the car I want doesn't come in yellow I have it painted straight from the dealers floor. Done that twice already and my future 86 will be the third.

Not sure what that says about me at 50+ with a Firestorm FR-S! Oh yea, it says "I drive what I want, don't care what you think!"
