i want to trade my 2005 xA for a tC....but the thing is my mom wont let me and she thinks my xA has no more value to it after havin it for 5 months and 14000 miles to it...its in good condition....injen intake upgrade with a soundsystem...i want to trade it in..but its on my moms title but shes transferring it to my name.....when it gets transfered it to my name can i trade it in for a new/used tC...is it worth it....will i lose LOTS of money??....my xA was 16,000 because i got the extended warranty and other stuff like keyless entry..now it has remote start..floor mats....i paid about 5,000 off...i was wonderin if i could still trade it in and if it will be worth it!!! need INPUT..please help!!

 

Why get rid of the xA?! You can be on those cool scion commercials... my name is [*****] and this is my scion xA!

 

the xA is nice but i would rather have a tC. and yea the scion commercials are hot. theres a tC one out and it has that white tC with the axis finish wheels on this board. i think his name is alextc

 

umm... i think you'll have to take that up with teh dealer to see what "stuff" can be transferable such as the extended warranty. since you added so many options and accessories, i think you'd have a better chance just selling it out right in a private sale, than to trade it in.

 

just look forward to losing at least 4-5k

 

the value of my car will go down that much??


soo sell it on my own instead of trading it in??

 

i've actually heard of situations with scion where the dealer gives more than the car is worth because it is the only price they are able to negotiate in the sale. try the dealer, see what he could give you, and figure out the numbers from there. you may be better off putting it back to stock and selling the extras (or keeping them for the tc), because those are basically not worth anything once they're put on the car.

another thing to keep in mind- i'm only 20 (as of a week or so ago) and i was planning on getting the tc. i decided on the xb because the tc is the kind of car that looked cool but isn't really great as far as functionality goes. not great gas mileage (intakes/headers/exhaust/forced induction don't help either), it's small in the back (yes, bigger than most coupes, but not an xb), and it's significantly more expensive (initial price, insurance is a couple brackets higher, gas money). definitely don't just buy it for the looks, because that can come back to bite ya.

enjoy, and good luck.

 

thanks for sharing your thoughts

ehh gas wont be a problem, my aunt owns a 76.... however...i rather get a 2 door...i dont want 4 heads in the car with me...its only gon be me and the lady....i think ive grown outta the xA..dont get me wrong..its a great car...but i need a lil more power and a little more style...

i will go to the dealer tommorrow for some deals...car is now under my name!...=)

 

dealers will pay you like 2g's below KBB's trade price just to let you know...I got 5500 for an 02 ZX3 focus with 12k miles!!!!!

 

good choice getting a TC

 

tC is great for everyone!
xA might be too cute! At least for me!
I would rather get xB than xA. Trade it in ba!
