With any luck, I’ll be saying goodbye to my FR-S relatively soon. It’s been a great car to me. Reliable, efficient, fun to drive. But work and life have gotten in the way, situations have changed, and I no longer have the means to keep it.

I’ve listed it for sale on the Oppo Facebook page, our local NASA chapter (NASA AZ), as well as on !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

I hope it goes to a good new owner, who appreciates it as much as I do.

On a slightly related note, if there’s any Opponauts in the greater Phoenix area looking for a lightweight, RWD, fun to drive daily — I know a guy.

Thanks! I currently owe $24,000 on it — financed through Toyota Financial. If he’s interested, wouldn’t be too hard to refinance to someone else (still relatively new, so should be able to get a good interest rate).

I’m sorry to hear it. Life takes some funny turns sometimes. Hopefully you can pick up something fun as a replacement. That E30 you mentioned sounds promising. Good luck with the sale!

Showroom condition and an M50 swap? Definitely promising... Thanks man!

Neat, at least you’re staying with the light-ish RWD aspect.

Yeah, I really wanted the dark grey when I was shopping, but got a great deal on the orange. It’s grown on me.

Yeah, I was originally just going to replace it with a cheap commuter or a bike... but then my buddy offered up the E30. I’ve been eyeing it ever since it was built a few years back. Can’t pass up the opportunity to snag it!

The gray is nice too but, IMO orange was the right choice.

There is an oppo fb group? Why didn’t I know that earlier?
