hey - thanks for your responses to the manual / automatic poll i posted.

i'm sure now that i need to go with a manual and i've been able to nail a few down in my area that match my color preference. but they're all 2008.

i've scoured the specs on the 2008 and 2009 and nothing comes up different. are there any changes i'm missing?

aside from better resale value on an '09 down the road, is there any reason why i should really try to get one over an '08?

thanks, much!

 

Everything is the same. The price is usually raised on the new model, but they did it before the 09 came out. I got my 08 at the end of July and paid the same as the 09's price.

Scion rarely get year to year updates. If you see a large price increase (typically is $100-$300, more than that is large), then you may have an added "standard" feature.
