...does anyone know if this applies to used scions as well?

(i know a few on here have said to me to be weary of buying a used tC, but at the time, its all i can afford after my mazda3 was totaled, ive found a few with great prices.)

 

No, it doesn't apply to used tCs. Honestly, for as much as what the dealer is going to charge you for a used one I think you're better off with a new one.

If you do get a used one, make sure it has LOW MILES! (Like only driven 10K miles a year.) That way you don't inherit somebody's used-to-be turboed/supercharged-then-returned-to-stock-for-a-quick-trade-in tC. (Hypothetically speaking of course. )

GL with your outcome!

 

Nope doesnt stick with the used ones, but hyghgynx is right, you proablly are better off getting new with the prices the dealer will charge for a used one.

 

Probably? No, you ARE better off going with a new. I ran into this situation when buying my car. Found an '05 with 5K miles, 5 speed. Only dealer accessory were door sills. Drove it, no unusual noises. Thought to myself, "Wow, I may end up $1500 under the list price".

WRONG. Stealership wanted $19.700 for the car. I told the salesman "I can walk into your showroom and order a new 2006 for $16xxx. See ya." Walked away, went to the next closest dealer and ordered my SW'06.

 

I bought mine used and it cost just about the same as it would of new, 06 with 10k miles. Mine was a ceritified used toyota so it has a 100k mi warrenty (eng/trans) on it and I also got the full bumpber to bumper and free matienace thrown on for almost nothing extra. So all in all I think buying used in my case was better than new. So now my s/c tc has a 100k warrenty.

 

at the time it was supply and demand though. if you wanted it NOW. you paid NOW.

if you wanted to wait. you ordered.

 

Pure pricing does not apply to used cars, but good luck anywayz!
