    Hopeful future BRZ owner, need some advice

    Yeah to be honest I'm glad I have to wait a while, at least I have something to aim for and it'll feel like an achievement when i do finally buy one. And I'm not saving for 4 years to be a dick and write it off like most bellend my age Thanks for the help man really appreciate it!

    Yeah I noticed they're around my budget now, so I was wondering whether 15/16 models would drop in price in 4 years like the 12/13 models have dropped down now in 4 years, if that makes sense? Thats good to hear, I noticed you're based in Greater Mcr, do you have any suggestions of a good place to try thats not too far? My dad has an MX5 so it would be ideal to try get a bit of RWD experience

    Yeah it does seem abit keen but i thought if i get saving now ill have enough by then rather than having to go down the finance route on a new one, another reason a 3.5 year wait is ideal is that ill be 24 by then so insurance shouldnt be too pricey either,at the minute it would cost 3500 once ive held my license for a year and have no claims which isnt too much for a 2l coupe at my age i guess but i couldnt afford to buy one now so it works out Im still in two minds about which one really, I want the BRZ because like we both pointed out the exclusivity of it,i prefer the front end and the thought of owning a subaru excites me more than a toyota, again that may sound stupid but I've always been a massive scooby fan so thats my reasoning haha. But i know alot of people prefer the interior on the 86 but at the same time i dont think thats enough to make want one over the BRZ. I've looked at second hand prices of both and there isnt a massive difference so its just down to preference i suppose Yeah I'd definitely be careful, 15k isnt something i could just throw away haha, thanks for the help man really appreciate it!
  6. Hi guys, Basically i have had my first car for 6 months now(im only 19) its on finance and i have 3 and a half years left, which i intend to use as an opportunity to save up for a brz, although its a long time away i hoped you guys could give me some advice on a few things. Firstly, i know no one is going to have a definitive answer but does anyone have an idea where the market will stand in 4 years time?(new models,depreciation etc) ive worked out i can save around 15k in the time ive got without making myself completely skint, so a brand new one is out of the question. I like the my2016 model so i was hoping that the price would depreciate to around my price range within the time,does that seem realistic? Next, is a BRZ really worth it? Im swaying more to the subaru side as 86's seem alot more common, this may sound stupid to some but the exclusivity really appeals to me, plus i really want the WR blue version. The only thing that worries me is that the Brz is 'rarer', could this increase the price by the time it comes around to me buying one? Lastly, this will be my first RWD car, also a lot more powerful than im used to, at the minute i drive a vauxhall adam slam(only has 105hp), would an 86/brz be a step up too quick or would it be a ideal car to get to grips with RWD? Id really appreciate some help on this if you could guys. Apologies if its long and boring
