The 2022 and 2023 model years are holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

Should I buy a used Subaru BRZ now or wait for the next model?

• Starting price: Pricing for the 2022 Subaru BRZ starts at $28,955 for the base Premium trim level with the manual transmission.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
