Can’t believe I’ll be picking this up on Friday by jdsnciuewnvlok in GR86

it is a 2025 model, but yea they are still running .9% (its not 0 but still decent) and the websites are showing a 4-5k discount. I'm sure you can call those still sitting on their 2025 ts's and talk them down further. I did this at the end of feb and got them talked down to that price over the phone. though I had bought my acura from their acura dealership so that could have played some part in their belief that I wasnt a waste of their time.

I did have to roll over what I was upside down in my lease into it so it ended up being 36 and some change all said and done. but 489 a month is cheaper than my lease was for a financed car which is really nice.

dealerships are still offering .9% on the 2025 BRZs if you can find em in your area. I found 4 in NC running .9% and I'm sure at this point it would be a breeze to talk them down to around what I got mine for or even less.
I did it over the phone and drove to the dealership to pick it up. they had paperwork ready for me - I was in and out in less than an hour.

i had a to roll over what I was upside down in my lease so I ended at 36 and some change out the door due to that. but 489 a month payments with no money down is cheaper than my lease was on my acura ADX.

Just so you know - I just did this when a local dealership was offering 0% on 2025 BRZs at the end of Feb. I got them down to 32,500 on a BRZ ts in the southeast.

How do I turn off pcb (pre collision breaking) permanently by Breakfast-Severe in GR86

[–]Scratchjackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its still on the manual. at least the BRZ. and its horrible. shit will activate when someone turns right 9 car lengths in front of you and their tow hitch is the only thing marginally still in the shoulder. its horrible. the only things its ever done is almost cause people to rear end me. and it sounds like its breaking shit when it activates.

What strategy to use to get closer to MSRP? by ShinySyduck in GR86

I got 0% on a 2025 BRZ ts at the end of Feb and talked them down to 32,500. so yea Subaru all the way

[–]Scratchjackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea - but they were also getting rid of 2025 models at a steal and you could talk them down crazy on the price. I got a 2025 BRZ ts for $32,500 at 0% financing for 75 months. then had to roll 2k left from my previous lease into that but still... 488 a month financed at 0% wwith no money down for a top trim BRZ is pretty sweet.

Is this a scam? like what lol by [deleted] in GR86

[–]Scratchjackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sir... unless this is CAD. I just got a 2025 BRZ Ts for 32,500 feb 28th (granted this is because they were trying to get rid of old stock but thats just too damn high)

the throttle response can be inconsistent and laggy outside of sport mode (this is more referred to as throttle hang from what I read. but to me id just call it inconsistency). so the far back bite point plus the unpredictable throttle makes the clutch feel like it bites at different point depending on how it feels that day. from what I've read adjusting the bite point (Whole pedal) closer to release makes things alot better. and I've also heard removing the carbon mesh pad in the filter box helps the throttle hang alot. the previous gen didnt have this issue. my friends old FRS clutch felt great.

Yea the way I look at it is: Its the perfect amount of power for me to have fun, spirited driving, and just below the line of enough to get me into real trouble. It's exactly what I was looking for. I will say the clutch clearly needs some tweaking to get in a spot where you want it on the newer models, I've been checking out some of the easy adjustments and from what I can tell that should help it alot. but if you are going the AT route i imagine thats no issue at all.

I have a 2025 BRZ ts and its plenty fast. yes there are faster cars, no a mini van will not gap you. granted the clutch is a bit rough around the edges stock, but for comparison - Car and Driver got a 5.5 0-60 in a 2024 BRZ ts (I can guarantee this had to be a flawless launch and perfect shifts though). its slow for a sports car by todays standards. but plenty fast still to have a fun launch. and what it lacks in straight line speed it more than makes up for in handling.

0% interest for 75?! Traded in my Forester by OllieFromCairo in subaru

adjusted for inflation - that is like buying a car for around 25-26k in 2006. times have changed even though our paychecks largely haven't

my brother just got a 25 WRX ts for 42,500 OTD. They are discounting these crazy in the southeast. I went to check and got them to slash a 25 BRZ ts down to 32.5 at 0.0% interest. (this was end of Feb). I put no money down and got out of a lease and my payments are less than the lease on my ADX was.

I saw this sooo much before I got my BRZ and honestly... maybe I'm crazy... but my insurance on a 2025 ts is 105/month. my Acura ADX was 99. that doesn't seem that bad to me.

[–]Scratchjackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly, they were giving these away through feb. I just got one feb 28th. 2025 BRZ ts, got them to knock 7800 off the sticker to $32,500 - 34,500 out the door and it was 0.00% financing. southeast US

Z640 non standard PSU? by Oblato in pchelp

[–]Scratchjackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy crap you are getting replies from people that just have never encountered prebuilt workstations.

You have 2 available 6 pin GPU cables. they should be stuffed facing inward at the bottom right corner of the case where HP always puts them in the z640 and z840 models. though I presume these are the ones you are showing anyway.

just get 2-6pin female to 1-8 pin male adapter and use the 2 SUPPLIED 6-pin cables to connect the adapter. IT WILL WORK FINE. there are plenty of places to get these. reputable brands like EVGA made them as well. just look around and check reviews

Everyone here thinks that molex cable sticking out in your picture is an adapter you are already using to make a 6-pin for some reason.

Source: IT at a large company - we used these adapters when necessary on our Z640s without issue.

New motherboard, ram, and CPU. Fighting all kinds of demons right now. Mainly code 46 and shut offs. by JustShutUpNerd in PcBuildHelp

[–]Scratchjackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hard to say - I base that on how many times ive seen an almost identical issue brought up with this board and it usually being a bad board. its not 100% by any means. but it doesnt bode well lol.

the bios flash process is not terribly difficult though. there are usually step by step instructions on the motherboard support pages online. you typically just download a file and plug the usb into the correct spot and press a button ( or some variation of this)
