    @@franchisefred4066 no one is forcing people to buy them with markups and some dealers still have waiting lists for purchasing at MSRP. Regardless, they'll hold their value just as well (if not better) than the previous generation R. If this is truly the last fully combustion engine R, a model with low miles and good maintenance would probably sell for quite a lot in another 20-30 years. Edit: I agree, for 80k, there are better cars. I don't like dealer markups either, but not all of them will be sold for 70+.

I'd probably get a tacoma or some other smaller truck if I was in his position and sell the brz.
