I was camping for an e90 M3 sedan at work, until this thing arrived. It feels less precise than the M3, feels more of a brawn and brute kind of car, yet puts an even bigger smile on my face than the M3 (i've lived with company demo M3 for a few days)
The 63' is a relatively, simple, old school approach to building a euro super sedan... and I like the old school simplicity behind it.
No active dampers, no active steering, no fancy performance stability programs.... Just big brakes, a big engine, a beefy transmission and a beefy limited slip rear end. Its a German muscle car... that actually could turn very well.
Couldn't ask for much else for smoking tires and going side ways with this face  | Exactly, people who complaints about the price of rear tires and wear on drivetrain, shouldn't even consider getting into one of these ! Some would even complaint that the earlier model didn't come with DRL and wearing out the xenon headlights !  |

If this isn't acceptable someone can pm me or remove it as I do work here and it's not technically a private sale. I honestly felt that this car is a good deal for someone looking for a slightly used FRS/BRZ. I would never post to spam for exposure. If anyone is interested you guys can PM or even call me Cheers. 2013 Subaru BRZ Sport-tech Manual

Being 2 years old and only $3k off the MSRP of a brand new one doesn't exactly scream good deal to me

There was a WRB BRZ for $22,800 for the longest time, not sure if it's still available. Seller said he would've been down to trade for my E46 a month prior to my email but he already purchased a GT3! What an upgrade.
Edit:
And some say good deals don't last? http://vancouver.craigslist.ca/van/cto/4989634458.html 
Also a good deal, 2013 FRS 26,000km with coils asking $20,900 http://vancouver.craigslist.ca/pml/cto/4981950409.html  | |

You would trade your e46 m3 for that?!
I mean, don't get me wrong, the BRZ/FR-S are rad, but your e46 is a LOT more car.

Or I could trade and beat the crap out of a "new" car without being paranoid it'll blow up at the track.
In the end I decided to blow the chunk and now I'm loving the straight 6 goodness.  | |

That white lowered FRS has been for sale for awhile. I was trying to buy it and the guy was literally responding to every 3rd email, he sucks big time. I don't really care for these BS ads filled with bravado but it looks like a decent deal for the price. He would probably sell it if he actually got back to people.

Looks like a real ZHP to me. I think it was called something different on the build sheet in Canada. Beautiful car. Well worth the pick up if maintenance is up to date.

I'd just run the vin if there was any doubt. I don't think it would be 6 speed if it wasn't a ZHP. I can't remember if thats the case though. It would be a LOT of work to add all the little details to it if it wasn't, and all seem to be there. The tails, badging, knob, kit, steering wheel, wheels, etc.

Anyone know if Toronto has a site that's more popular than craigslist? They seem to have 10x less posts compared to Vancouver.
