Well, this escalated quickly...

I feel ya on selling her. My fiance's C300 had a wrench fall down into the engine while driving (Tire Kingdom thread) and the cost to repair was just under $900. We're looking at the same car/same year/same everything with 30,000+ less miles on it and going to take a $5,000 hit just to know it's never had the damage we reported on ours.

Understandable. Part of my desire to trade is that I've had my fun with the car, it's cool, but I'm on to the next thing. Also, I'm getting used to having a few grand a month that I can save/spend how I want, and think that a few hundred bucks more would just make me smile more. I'm very tempted to hold on and get the 2014 BRZ STi when it comes out, if the interior is as nice as what was shown in the Tokyo show.

Another NA car with even less power?! You looking to downgrade? Pretty sure there is gonna be wayyyy better performing stuff coming out in 2014/15 for around the same price. To each their own I guess.

Let me know what. I'm all ears. I like the look of the BRZ, and at 220-230bhp, 2700#, 4-piston calipers, better rims, alcantara everything, NAV, etc. the STi should be pretty nice. But I'm not bent on it. Tell me, what would you recommend? I was looking to downsize into a $30-35K car in about 3 years before I built a house, but since...here we are, I'm taking the move a bit early.

Not another Nissan. Subaru is a totally different company and their cars are made with a different mindset. I calmed down since that thread and realized that if Ford and Chevy can be very different, so can Nissan and another company in the same country.

oh okay, sounds good. cause your previous post was just talking hate and distaste about the entire japanese car manufacturer's mind set. aka, the whole car manufacturing industry of japan, you were basically saying, can go f- a horse and eat it.

im glad you changed your way of thinking cause that actually works more to your advantage.
