My cousin is a used car sales manager, He has told me some insane stories of what people have done. Like trade a car in that they owe $15k on and the dealership gives them $9k and they throw that on the $6k on the used car and person takes out 7 year loan on a car worth $15k that is $21k loan...

This is great to read, i just sold a BRZ and want to step into a coupe Si. I really don't hardly race anymore so figure it would be more practical and if do want to do an autox or a little track night the Si will still work well for that, it would be a better balance for me and more practical...

Right now locally where i live dealerships are being emptied out, they are paying alot for used cars right now, as a matter a fact they are buying cars from facebook marketplace and craigslist, it happened to me, if my BRZ would have had a perfect carfax it would have went to a dealership for...

i once was watching Suze Orman financial advisor on TV, she said a statement 25 years ago that really stuck with me. "The average American works an extra 6-8 years in their life to pay off the interest they have accrued throughout life" I was like thats BS!! Then i did the math.... mortgage...

The car market locally has exploded! Used car lots are being emptied and people are literally fighting over cars. i had 3 fighting over my car on craigslist. Some auto dealers in the country are being slammed financially while others are slammed with customers, Its crazy!!

Hey Guys , if you see a Si coupe for sale in red blue or gray, let me know, been trying to find one that isn't overpriced ie almost 2020 price or doesn't have a bad carfax. looking for 17-18 def red blue first then gray, everytime i find one i can't get a deposit on it fast enough or it sells...

If i go 2020 i guess could change tire size maybe, or could get a tune and move limiter up so equal with the 19. LOL just kidding i know i know!! ;)

I am about to pick up an Si shortly, if i do i will get these!

You won't believe how many locals have said SSC!!!! LOL The racecomp engineering setup wasn't bad, i actually need more room in the car also carting stuff to and from work, sick of not being able to see my passenger mirror or even being able to see out the passenger window lol

Yeah price is huge, i had a 2000 Si and an 08 that i autocrossed alot in street and in STX, i couldn't break either one , they were great cars! same with my S2k, it was a great car, def miss that one! i think if this Covid stuff wasn't impacting me locally financially i would jump on the...

I almost was think going with a wrx, it just seemed quite a bit understeery, pushy but definitely the torque hit was crazy around 2900 rpms or so almost like a rocket was attached to the car lol

Yeah, my 15 BRZ was great locally, i was on the way to full stx build and just needed a better daily, stx/daily is tough lol especially when you are older lol

I prob will never run nationally though, and most courses i do are smaller. so not sure. but i def see your point though, and was thinking about just going 17-19.

Looks like i may be picking up a new 2020 Si coupe this weekend!! Was seriously thinking Type R but my business got hit hard with Covid 19 in March- May, not sure want to take a chance of that happening again in the Fall so rather spend less.

Any issues with the 2020 Si for autox compared to the 17-19 when it comes to shutting off the traction control or the new gearing?? about to pick one up.......

Well, i got a chance to test drive a Type R last week. It was impressive! very comfortable etc. The rev match was a little weird at first but got used to it quickly, Great car!! Gonna drive an Si next if i can find one, kinda scarce locally atm. especially a coupe, i did drive one last...

Well, the price of the Type R is good but my trade in is horrific due to being a BRZ and winter time. :( 2 places said they really don't even want my car at this time in the winter. So selling it outright would be the best thing then throw that on the R.

yeah i bet! Yeah, i think i am gonna wait till early spring to make my decision, no use driving a new or nice Type R in a snow belt for this winter. Plus selling mine right now in the winter isn't gonna work to well and this car has already seen snow and salt for 4 winters , one more isn't...

Edit: granted this is more focused on rally racing, it's still a thing. Scroll down to "front wheel drive" (it's in all caps). LOL i imagine so! Yeah the RWD is prob one of the items that makes the BRZ a better racecar than an Si out of the box but that being said the Lightning lap...
