So I was at the track the other day. Didn't take a pic... I saw this black tC, I got a closer look... Thought it might be a RS5.0. But it had the other black TRD wheels, paint was BSP...
I was thinking this thing must be $25k+
Had almost everything, TRD BBK, all the TRD stuff...

So I asked the guy... He said $28k. Older gentleman...
I was like WTF!? I wish I was the sales person on that one.

 

28K!?! All that for an extra 10hp what a noob

 

meh, its what scion is all about. the guy got everything he wanted on the car, from the dealer, with warranty... and he has the money to pay for it over 4-6 years... its basically what the scion brand was built for...

 

did he have the factory navigation and stuff to? That'll bump up the price a few thousand..all things considered had he bought all that stuff seperately (brand new..different brand) it would be very similar in cost to what he paid sticker..still a lot for a tC of course but just throwing in my .02

 

meh atleast he was happy about it.

 

uhm...actually...when my tC left the dealership, it was about 25k dollars...got just about everything in the accessory area, fogs, security, floor mats, interior lights, leather seats, spoiler, trd exhaust, trd CAI, lojack, auto dimming mirror, b-pillar applique, door jam appliques, also have a lifetime loaner car when i take the car in for service. it adds up pretty quick.

 

how does this work? ive had work done at a few diff dealers and they all offer free loaners as long as you make an appt.

 

was just part of a service plan, every other oil change is free, if i don't want to wait around the dealership for my car, i can take a loaner car, and go about my day so long as i'm back within 24 hours of my car being completed. was very handy when my car was in for 2 weeks having the transmission overhauled. woulda sucked having either no car, or paying for a rental car.

 

i paid around 27 for mine with everything possible in it too...price does add up real quick

 

Face palm...

 

Wow 27 thousand..haha well I paid 23 thousand but thats including interest. Still paying my ride till this day. I have around 11 thousand left but hey I love my tC so its worth it

 

i wish all i had into my tc was 28k lol

 

i think the rs3 started at around 20 plus trd supercharger, exhaust, springs, struts, dimming mirror, navigation, b pillar aplique, under dash lights, carbon fiber dash applique, spoiler, short shifter, and some other things and delivery fee and taxes......

 

I payed 12k. lol I would rather do it part by part instead of TRD upgraded OEM parts.. TRD has some good stuff.. But 28K wow

 

Wow, he could have bought a base 370z for that much and had all of those options x10 and a much better car.

 

DIY FTW! 19.5k out the door total financed for my brand new RS3.0.

 

yeah, i mean, in retrospect, yeah, wasted a lot of money. but i had no idea there would be places like TRD sparks where you could order everything from for like 25% off MSRP. also, this was the first car i ever bought and started modding. some (many) mistakes can be expected.

 

I did the same thing with my first tC. Got things like the CF b-pillar, door sill enhancements, etc. Only things I got for my 08 were the TRD springs (free install and balance) and lip kit (free install). Still ended up coming out to around 24k with tax and financing though.

 

the sticker on my tc was 18,900..so yeah I had I known what I knew now I would have probably gone the used route and found a bugeye wrx or like an s2k haha oh well live and learn ..I love my tC but I definitely wish I would have done more research before hand

 

i dont know about that lol, you still need a lot more then 28 grand.
