My silly FR-S is pretty fun, cheap-ish on gas, and was only like $11k with 56k miles. When I was looking there weren't many fun electrics in my price range.
15k cad, and 26k km for my very serious brz (also 13 years old). I also had the same lack of evs in my price range (not even including fun ones).
The BRZ was what I was originally wanting, but they all seem too expensive in my area. My wife has been driving a Scion xD for around 14 years and as her household mechanic it's been a dream so I figured why not for the BRZ's sister car.
Looking in my area FR-S' seem about the same price, gr86's seemed a bit more pricey. I considered them all equal when i was looking (at the time i was looking at wrx's or miata's also). Really enjoy driving this this car so far only downside is more expensive gas, and the paint which seems to chip super easy.
I loved my FR-S (after a chip tune to smooth out the torque dip). I put a Borla cat-back on it and it sounded amazing. I loved how you could rev third all the way out and not be going ridiculously fast. Parking lot drifting was so easy with the LSD too. Oh, and I loved how it used the standard Toyota cruise control stalk; that one is one of my favorites. Great car.
I don't really need something insanely fast, just something fun to drive lol! Sadly no drifting for me yet, I may have gotten too old for that when I wasn't looking. I'm just glad for a no frills manual transmission in today's world.
Mine came with an invidia exhaust and a pretty nice ingen intake... Makes it a bit louder than I like, but it sounds better than a few I've seen (deeper, less like a pissed off weedwacker).
56k miles on a 10 year old car?? Damn, I need your search skills! But yes, the secondhand market is rough for electrics. It’s like they’re made of gold, the way the price refuses to dip.
?? EVs depreciate like a rock
All of my rocks retain value pretty well?
Good talk
Actually it was 13 years old, it was one of the 2013's that somebody absolutely loved. They installed the starlight headliner mod, ingen intake, and invidia exhaust. It's got the bespoke radio (sadly the 2013 bespoke that didn't have native apps, it was powered by zypher), and the optional bazooka sub in the trunk; when I bought it there was zero bass because someone tried to wire in a kicker and ended up starving the signal so neither sub was working.
The only gripe I really have with it is the black velvet like stuff they covered the interior with and the insanely worn gear shifter.
Are the seats black velvet? That sounds rough in the summer. Hot and slipping across a smooth, sweat soaked surface is, perhaps, the least comfortable way to drive. In my opinion, anyway.
That is an incredibly sweet deal, though. It sounds like you got someone’s leisure car. I can’t think of another reason for all of the mods and mileage being as low as it was. It must have been tough for them to give up.
No the seats are normal, I guess they didn't like the cheap plastic feel for the trim (like silver-grey accents around the radio/vents/door cards) so they glued on some sort of fabric. It really doesn't look too bad, but I'll probably bring that part back to stock, or swap it for nicer pieces meant for the BRZ.
I wish you luck, if you try another veneer. My friend ended up having his new pleather bubble up on him twice before swapping to cloth, which also bubbled up once before being fixed
