Opinions: Chance to Own a Series.Blue

That said, I personally don't see the justification of a $3k+ premium over this 2015 Limited with lower miles, or the even greater savings with a 2014 or 2013 model, maybe $6-7k. Like I said, everybody has their own priorities, so maybe this used Series.Blue will suit you for $25k.

The car you want will come along, you will just have to be patient if you are limiting your criteria to a Series. Blue.

can't have that last one, that's the one I am about to buy. But the red one looks like a good deal for someone that wants that color.

For me, it is the interior. Yea not a big deal for some people, but a new BRZ Limited is about $27k or so anyways. And supposedly the aero mods actually do something.

I think the series blue was a great limited trim!, I love the sti cosmetic parts and the blue interior looks great in person.

Although WRB is a nice color, I would prefer a CWP.

As far as limited models, my choice of colors in particular order are: Satin or Crystal white pearl, Sterling or Ice Silver metallic. Not interested in any other colors really. World Rally blue would be my third choice.

Just be patient, these things seem to pop up a couple every week, and they do seem to sell pretty quickly to, so keep your eye out and you'll find the perfect one.

You must REALLY want a Series.Blue to be even considering paying only $500 less than I paid for a new one, for one with 22K miles... Lol.

Not thinking of getting the CWP from Carmax, too many miles. Front end must be littered with rock chips and who else knows what happened during the 22K miles.

I am also very picky on the condition of the car, as well as for the price, that's why I only offered 22.5 for the one originally that I posted about with the accident and misc dents and scratched up front STI lip.

I normally prefer to check out a car in person before buying so anything more than 500-1K miles from my location, it will be difficult for me to pursue them (don't want to invest in flying out and end up flying back home if the car doesn't meet my standards, or if a deal doesn't work out).

Hmmm, I think I might try to find a low mileage Sterling Silver Limited and buy the STi Aero Kit, and the black STi wheels.

The combo looks very good on silver:

that's what I did. much cheaper. you don't get things like stitching and the frameless mirror but if that doesn't matter to you you're golden. :highfive:

I agree with him. If you don't care about the interior stuff, don't get a limited edition. I hate the normal interior with that awful read thread, because I hate the color red. Any money you save you can put to mods.

Only cheaper if you're buying knock off parts...

True but I have a knock off on my car now and you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference let alone a big enough one. Well in my opinion at least. I will day all this being said when I forest heard of the series blue I was site that would be the one I got. Until I saw the price. Other dealers may be willing to negotiate but around here it was sticker which was a bit over $29k. I want about to do that

agreed on the price. In my mind there is no way an 86 is a 30k dollar car. The value is just not there.
