Tripertripp-

I'm also here in Houston. I bought mine in October @ Fred Haas Toyota / Scion Country on HWY 249. Matt was my salesman- cool guy. Danny was my salesmanager- a tad pushy, but not too bad. I wanted a BSP 5 SPD xB, but they didn't have one at the time & I wouldn't compromise (Why should I?). They set me up in a loaner BCM 5 SPD xB for a week until they got mine in. PLUS they through in the kooler tail lights!

If you want more info, feel free to PM me.

Sorry- I guess that was rather subjective of me. I don't intend to dis anybody else's tails. I'm just not a big fan of the standard tails.....everyone's got their own tastes.

:?
No, I'm sorry. My other 2 cars were made in 1964 &, I assumed that they would'nt have been interested. Maybe I should have asked though.

I do feel that here in Houston, you are better off selling the car on your own. Dealers don't give much for trade-ins here, in my opinion. If you were to check http://www.nada.com/
You could get an Idea of your trade in value. You'll notice how it differs from retail, which is closer to what you could sell it for yourself.

They never give you a good deal on your trade in. Sell that bad boy yourself. Just get it detailed and people will flip out.

By the way, what are you trading in? Just a shot in the dark, but maybe I know someone who would be in the market for what you have.

Be sure to check the dealer review area:

https://www.scionlife.com/dealers/it...&sub_cat_id=44

With Pure Pricing, the price will be pretty much the same, so the important thing, IMO is how they treat you and you they treat their service customers. I mean dealers in general, not just yours. Good Luck.
