Pros

  • Priced under same-mile comps
  • Rear-drive boxer coupe with a cult chassis
  • Legendary reliability reputation when maintained

Cons

  • 91k miles on a sports coupe demands a pre-purchase inspection
  • Automatic dulls the FR-S formula for purists
  • Valve-spring recall status unverified

Analysis

The FR-S is the last of the Scion breed: a 2.0L boxer, rear-wheel drive, and a chassis that still gets talked about a decade later. This 2016 Base coupe is finished in dark paint over aftermarket-style multi-spoke wheels, and it’s the actual car in the listing photos.

Ask is $14,240 at 91,425 miles with an automatic. Comps: $14,900 for a 93,824-mile car, $14,990 for a 91,425-mile automatic, and Edmunds dealer retail running $14,900–$16,000 for clean examples at these miles. This car prices a touch under the comp set.

Sports coupes at this age live and die by maintenance and how hard the previous life was. Get it inspected, check for the valve-spring recall completion, and the price leaves room for the tires and brakes these cars eat.

Market Comparison

Market check: 2016 FR-S comps: $14,900 (93,824 mi); $14,990 (91,425 mi, automatic); Edmunds dealer retail $14,900–$16,000 at these miles. At $14,240 with 91,425 miles, this car prices just under the comp set.
