Why can't I find a used FRS/BRZ under 5k? I would think all the retarded boyracers would have given up their no-torque car by now and it'd be easy pickings

I tried to offer someone 5k for their 40k mile BRZ and they fucking hung up on me

>hurrr I know what I got

fucking retards

No OP, I believe you're the retard to think you can get a FRS/BRZ for under 5k without it being destroyed
>>
I would hang up on you too, OP. Just cause boi racers find out it has no balls doesn't make it worth 5000 dollars. Buy a 240sx you dumbass, OP. Also that's not a frs/brz in your pic.

>>14849444
considering there was a recent listing for a 520 hp 2006 911 turbo with 450k miles on it for only 8k, I'd rather not waste more than 5k on 200hp

the car was worth maybe 10 or 11k new at best

the sticker price has no relation to the car's true value
>>
>>14849444

I don't think you can even get 10-15 year old Corvettes for 5,000K

Maybe fox bodies? i think you can get a miata (not a recent one mind you) in working condition for that price.
>>
>>14849478
The sticker price is about 2 thousand dollars more than the price most people are willing to pay, aka what a car is worth.
>>
>>14849492
>people willing to pay = worth

so are you telling me if people were willing to pay $1m for a toilet then the toilet would actually be worth $1m

that's not now economics works buddy, things have a value that doesn't care about what people want to pay for it
>>
>>14849549
wut.
Value is set by what people will pay.
Just because most things in our life are cheaper than we're willing to pay doesn't mean they're less valuable.
Take your begginers guide to economic and pound sand.
Just because you don't want to pay market value for something doesn't mean people are fags for not coming to your price.
Next time you get some mountain dew and doritos please tell the cashier they're only worth $0.50.
>>
>>14849563
Then is the value of bait calculated by how many fucking idiots respond to it?
>>
>>14849563
>Next time you get some mountain dew and doritos please tell the cashier they're only worth $0.50
They literally are. If not less. Do you not understand basic economics?
>>
I know this is bait but there really are people who think the frs isn't priced competitively. Mid 20000s for 200hp is standard fare. Maybe even more value because you get rwd and an lsd.
>>
>>14849603
compared to how much more hp you can get on the used market it's 100% overpriced as fuck

you can get a salvage title 08 camaro ss with 400 wheel hp and only 375k miles on it for less than $3k

Yea fuck your self op there worth there price
A 2012 brz with 45k should sell for 13-18 k
>>
>>14849745
the car's inherent value is ~10k at best

50% depreciation in 4 years is fine

your fucking stupid

Only 375k miles. Only. 375k. Miles. On an '08 nonetheless. What the fuck dude?

Don't you know how well subaru's hold their value? The FR-S's are just starting to get under 20K, we won't see subaru's for a while

still has 400 hp

Buy a civic and shut up.
>>
>>14850622
Sucks that you'll be keeping those theoretical 400 hp at a mechanic's or more likely rotting on your trailer's yard 90% of the time.

Also,

You'd be able to get a decent first gen NA Miata ('89-'97), or an okay NB ('98-'05) for that price.

No way you'd get a BRZ, that's for sure.
>>
>>14849430
5k? thats porsche money m8 why buy a shitbox for anything over 1k anyway? look at the amount of bmw 330s, mazda rx8s and even better things you can get for a fraction of 5k.

That's litteraly the definition of worth.
>>
>>14851243
things have an intrinsic value that's independent of what retards want to pay for it
>>
>>14852336
Ok so who decides the intrinsic value?
>>
>>14852377
nobody, thats the point

the value is set like the speed limit of light or the price of a gallon of gas

>>14849430
OP, I too am looking forward to a 5k BRZ/GT86

New, the car is £25k
3 year old GT86 is £13k

I imagine by 2019 we'll have our 5k GT86

REEEE!!! I feel like the rise of social media has caused the price of used shitboxes to go through the roof. Every swagfag wants to be just like his favorite car centered YouTuber. Fucking sucks, I want to go back to the 90s before the Internet started this car culture phenomenon.

I've decided I'm going to stop hunting until I have at least $15k in cash to spend on a God Machine, at least then I won't have to compete against shitskins for what I want

You realize its literally basic supply and demand. If people had no want for cars worth 20k, then no cars would be worth that, since nobody will pay it.
If everybody was willing to pay $20 for a chicken nugget, guess how much the nugget is fucking worth.
$20.
Things are worth what people will pay for them.
