If you're looking for noticeable gas savings, a turbo Subaru isn't going to do it for you. Especially if you've got a heavy foot.

Yea I know, that's why brz is my number one right now sadly

This is the same dense fucker I was arguing with 30 mind ago about not buying an expensive car, right? Lol. Even c7' used are still 55+. (C6's don't have cylinder deactivation right?) Also, insurance jumps 200 over the mustang for a c6 ( I checked before I bought the stang :D)

Does financing used make insurance lower than financing new? I never really understood I surance. Thought it was based on your record, price of car, and how fast you can kill yourself in it

The brz driven with a lead foot still gets upwards of 30. Ill say 26 for fun. That would save me another 50 on top of the 370, and insurance will drop 100 (I'm switching companies soon so that's why the big drop)

The epa has a BRZ at 28 combined, and it needs premium.

Pitch 12-23-2013 02:50 PM

All the forums say they get close to 30.

Premium schmemium. That's what I put in now. If you do the math, it's like 2.50 a full up more than regular. That's not gonna break my bank

Really dude? At no point did I call you any names.

A used C6 is not $55k. :roflpuke2: It's $30k, and when the C7 is readily available the prices will drop even more. Guess what- It'll cost about the same as your BRZ. it doesn't have cylinder deactivation, but it still gets 26mpg on the highway.

Just following along, and I know I'm late and I don't know your financial details...

- don't buy a new car unless you can throw the money at it and not miss it/sweat it. That includes the debt, which as Chuck said, is not good debt. If you can pay ~$600/mo and not feel the pinch, have at it.

- If you don't have a girlfriend and would like a girlfriend, a new car won't compete with having your own home. Unless you plan on uprooting elsewhere, it's not a *bad* idea to get into some good debt. But definitely talk around to anyone you know who's had a property or two. Unless you know what you're getting into, you might end up being very disappointed. Or you might end up taking a big loss and avoiding that idea again. Good debt, but it *is* a commitment.

Anyway, I know the advice is likely not wanted, but a car only fills a certain part of life's desires/needs. Think about the other parts, too. :) (I should bookmark such advice for my future self!)

Haha I know I said it joking. Calm yourself! I said c7 Cause I know c6 doesn't have cylinder deactivation (didn't know they got 26 hwy)

But insurance doesn't drop down to brz lvls do they? (Now not in 2 years when they go up)

90% of my driving is city now. Why drive 2 cars if your going to the same place at the same time and you can split gas! :D

I'm paying 514 a month on the stang and 326 a month on insurance. And if I loved the car I wouldn't mind. If it was a 370 or any car I would love I wouldn't think twice, and I'd actually mod it (stupid financially but your only young once) even with the stang it's not a big deal to me, just wish it was something I wish I would wake up and think "man I want to go drive that"

I have a gf but I wouldn't buy a car to try to get one if I didnt. I buy it for...well....The joys of being young. The same reason you all bought a 370.

But new car talk is long gone. Now to find a used something! New car after I'm making 100k+! 4 more years let's hope

It's not going to be two years when they go up. Insurance is partially based on how many cars are wrecked. :rofl2:

No one can talk insurance numbers with you. The worst thing you've got going for you from an insurance standpoint is your age. We don't know your area. We also don't know your record. If insurance cost is such a major issue, getting a cheaper car and paying it off so you can drop down to liability only will help you there.

Pitch 12-23-2013 03:15 PM

Yea i know, but how long will it take for them to go up? I figure at least a couple years

Yea I know. Which comes back to that 2005 corolla I don't even want to think about haha.

21 living in so cal with 2 speeding tickets (from 2 years ago a week apart) and clean since then. So yea, my ***** high. I even checked a 2011 carolla for ***** and giggles. It was like 40 cheaper than the brz only. Even liability is a ton. A lot less than full coverage but still over 170 a month if I recall

In the meantime, would swapping out the rear end in the Mustang be an option? It'll save you a couple mpg.

Pitch 12-23-2013 03:18 PM

Meh. If I wanted to Dave some bucks I'd refinance it and get it with a lower interest rate if possible

That is...if refinancing I'd what I think it is

I keep seeing this thread get bumped, and I keep hoping for some more insider news on the new Z announcement.
