Clean used versions are available, its up to the shopper to be patient and discerning.

are you really trying to argue that buying new is better value than used? the only difference is effort, really
I mean, just look at the for sale section here and there are dozens of Z's available in various states of tune at various prices, and just a small snapshop of the market.
If you wanna be lazy and walk into the dealership and drive off, thats your money, its cool.
And back on topic, the STi is even more plentiful since the same drivetrain has been available since around 2004-ish The chassis hasn't changed that much. And you have a hatchback option too!
My point is the same, the used market for the Z and the STi offer a ton of options if you care to look there, you CAN come way ahead of paying for a new Z or Sti. Think about it, thats ******* $40k! Sorry if i'd like to get better value for my money, especially if a chunk of that $40K is going to a dealer.

Yeah dude, you're a clown.
If you trust Carfax and/or private sellers ALL of the time, then everything I read on the internet just HAS to be true ALL of the time I guess. LOL
And lazy? Really? Someone who's responsible and works hard for their money so they can support their family, buy nice things for their family and still have money left over to buy a nice new car and nice new expensive parts for it, I wouldn't exactly call lazy.
Like an artist, I like starting with a new blank canvas, and buying a brand new car is just that. I don't have to go and undo a bunch of crap I don't want on that used car, and possibly find out that someone somewhere along the line cut corners and did a hack job on everything, possibly even making the car unsafe. The heck with that noise.
You go ahead and buy your used cars and well... I won't. Because quite frankly, I don't give a rat's a$$ about depreciation and resale value.
And next time, think ahead before shooting off your mouth about people being lazy. I could just as easily say that you're just cheap and lazy and want to buy an already modded car for a song. Mind you, modded to someone else's taste. But hey, whatever floats your boat.
