Sup ya'll. Im new here.
Can't wait for the tC coming out. I like toyota's style of making a cheap nice looking car. I'm pretty stoked that my dad is the sales manger at Santa Maria Toyota, so i can get a killer deal on the tC.

Welcome to the boards! Have you had a chance to see the tC in person yet? It's even better than the pictures!

Nope not yet, but they might get one in earlier than June for a sneak peek to the costumers. So once it comes in I'll try to tape it and post it.

i doubt you will get a discount on the scion because everyone i know that works at toyota can't get deals on them because of the pure pricing.

Hey, you may still have a chance on getting some kind of deal. I know i get the tC for somewhat of a deal. I'll get it for somewhere in between invoice and msrp. Helps when your dad works for corporate toyota...b.t.w. he got to drive the prototype...i hope i have his job someday.

Um, no i think your wrong man. I already got a price quote from them with my dad's discount for a scion xb, and xA. The price was knocked down by close to 800 to 1200 bucks. And on top of that, Toyota setup a new program for their costumer service for it to be improved, and the mangers get a brand new discount that is even better than invoice. So im looking for my new scion to be at a really low price.

If you can get a discount, more power to you. You will be one of the lucky ones. But everyone else will pay invoice for these cars.

yeh, im new too and am eagerly awaiting June. i am part of the T-TEN program (toyota's school for becoming a technician) so i work at a dealer. i'm hoping to get some kinda hook up on buying one. at least i will get parts cheap.
i'm very interested in these Knee Airbags the tC advertises. i'm tall and have wrecked a car before. my leg got jacked up for a while.

I'm the Scion Manager for my dealership, and I didn't get a discount on my xB. The normal employee deal is $300 over invoice, and Scions at full sticker are already pretty close to that. I can't complain...pure pricing is fair enough for me.

my dad has been with toyota for over 20 years and even to this day no employees can get any discount on scion because of the pure pricing policy which is why i got a matrix instead of the xb. i got a xrs matrix for 18k (with a sunroof) instead of 21k while the scion was going to be about 15k.

Mmmm, I'm gonna have to call BS. And if your daddy really does work for Toyota corporate, you should be able to get us a price for the tC.

That was how I felt when I looked in my wallet today,
"damn, I swear there was a million bucks in here yesterday. Honey have you seen my million bucks?"

:? My dad works for corporate, and he's trying to find out the price. No one knows yet exactly how much yet, and for the people who do know, they must be sworn to scilence or something. As soon as he finds out, i'll find out, and then i'll post it. Toyota is still telling their employees thats its "well under $20k"

hey guys i'm new here.......i'm also a member of the vvti.net forums and the newcelica.net forums......I heard about this car yesterday on the speed channel and i fell in love with it..i cant wait for it to come out......the only downside i can think of is the weight of the car but im sure ther'll be plenty of aftermarket support to overcome it...specially its low compression ratio compared to the gt-s engine which has given them problems with forced induction...........and the suspense is killing me, cant wait for the price and want to say hi to all!!!

great avatar :D ,
it may not be popular yet...but I thik that everyone will soon find out that this engine gonna have so much more potential than the GT-S...and like you I'm sure the aftermarket parts will spice it up even more...there's only 2 more things I'd like to see for the Tc.....RWD and Solor Yellow as a color Choice...Welcome to the boards

01-28-2004, 09:03 PM
thanks man 8)
yeah ur right, a RWD would be great along with a couple hundred pound weight reduction.......but this car pretty much sums up everything i've been looking for in a car.
solar yellow would look really tight.....if they dont offer it you can always take it to a paint shop if u have th money.....
a lip kit, 19" rims, and a drop, WOW, incredible potential

Also a newbie here, HI!
Anywho, i haven't seen anyone opt for a black tC. Good. (the shock blue looks nice, too!)
They're aiming to sell 30,000 tC's in the first year that's about 600 per state.
In other words, better reserve your tC early!

so in comparison, how big is the tC? i mean i'm 6ft tall and i have trouble with the xA and xB models cause of the leg room, especially for the person behind me. in comparison to what is it roomy or no!

02-10-2004, 08:57 PM
good luck! Your too tall and I'm too short. I have a feeling it will still be a tight fit, after all, the xA and the xB have 4 doors and this is a little coupe. But you wont know for sure till you get to actually sit in one.
