Looking at buying this 2014 FR-S as a daily, good idea or bad?
Thinking about picking up this 2014 Scion FR-S automatic with 89k miles for around $9k and wanted some opinions from people who know these cars better than I do.
Seller says it has:
Clean title
Automatic transmission
89k miles
Lowered on springs
Aftermarket exhaust
Aftermarket taillights (seller mentioned one seal leaks a little but they have the stock taillights too)
Stock exhaust included
Yokohama tires
Smoked side markers
Interior and seats look pretty clean
No check engine light in the dash pic
Overall body/paint looks pretty clean from the photos
I’m mainly just looking for a cool reliable daily commuter that still looks nice and is fun to drive. I don’t really plan on doing anything crazy to it besides maybe tint and small cosmetic stuff. Not trying to drift it, turbo it, track it, or constantly beat on it.
I know the early FR-S/BRZ/86 models had some common issues like the valve spring recall, possible timing cover leaks, throw out bearing issues, and some people mentioning oil consumption problems, so I’m trying to be careful before buying one.
Does this one look pretty solid from the photos/info for what I’m wanting out of it? Also anything specific I should really check or ask about before buying?
