I picked up my new Phantom Grey '05 xA yesterday. I got one fresh off the boat with 7 miles on it. When I called the dealership yesterday morning, my sales rep said they would put the stereo in it and put the wheel covers on it before I got there at noon, so I wouldn't have to wait around for that to be done. I asked for the car to be 100% stock...no options. When I got there, they had put the 6 disc changer in!!!!! I'm not sure if they did it by mistake or if they were out of the regular ones. Either way, when my sales guy realized what they did, he just said, "Oh well..you got big-time lucky". They're letting me keep it at no charge! 8) Then I went straight from the dealership to my local custom shop and had keyless entry installed for $140. I love this car! It's very sparse and basic compared to other cars and trucks I've owned, but I think this is my favorite so far.

Congrats! And nice score on the radio. My Dealership messed up and gave me 18inch wheels instead of 17s, I'm glad to hear that others are so lucky. Have fun.

I got a t-shirt, a key chain, a beenie, and a hat... Which was cool... But none of which add up to the cost of that 6-disc upgrade! Good ____!

nice...
However, when I went to my dealership I was planning on ordering one in black, phantom grey, or silver but the dealer ended up offering me the BCP they had on their lot with the 6-disc, fog lights, AND the spoiler at no extra cost!:D So much for the Scion Covenant.

awesome! haha, what kind of keyless did you end up getting? just wondering because im looking into itThe remote keyless entry I got is made by AutoPage. You could probably buy the basic setup for under $50 if you want to do it yourself. I didn't want to tackle the job, so $140 for complete install and a lifetime warranty was worth it to me. It comes with two remotes.

Not sure what a demo is; Is it the car they use for test drives?
The car he sold me was on a parking lot on the roof of the dealership where they had other Scions/Toyotas and some pre-owned vehicles. My xA had 20 miles when I took it so I guess it was used for test drives.

Nice bonus there! I didn't get anything free, myself, and I was foolish enough to have the dealer install a keyless entry. They gave me an aftermarket system that is not programmable and isn't compatible with the automatic door locks. Looks like you made the right decision. Congratulations on your purchase!

a demo is a dealer owned car, and I don't think yours was one, but they probably drove it around once. nice extras, congrats!
