Estimates for a new purchase at list price; retail basis, trade-in ≈ 12% under retail.

Small numbers of the first-generation BRZ were sold here alongside its Toyota 86 twin. The second-generation 2.4 was never officially brought in, so newer cars are private imports. Used first-gen cars trade on the same affordable rear-drive appeal as the 86 but with far less supply.
