Default Thinking of buying a tC, what factory options?

I'm in the market for a new car and right now I'm leaning towards getting a tC. I'm wondering what options are best to opt for when purchasing one? Thanks in advance.

Get the stuff from mcgeorgeparts.com instead of getting that overpriced $hit from the dealer. Its like half the price and just as nice.

You can only buy it one way. Then theres the cosmetic stuff you can buy from the dealer to spruce up the place.

If you get ground effects, strut bar or exhaust, include them in the initial purchase from the dealer. The cost of the labor is included in the price. Options like B-pillar appliques and other cosmetic enhancements, buy from Mcgeorge. The items from Mcgeorge parts are cheaper, they are genuine toyota parts and they are easy to install.

it really depends on how much you want to install on your car. if i were getting the ground effects, i would have them installed by a dealer unless i really knew what i was doing. But for pieces like... mats and simple stuff like that, buy from mcgeorgeparts.com

Yeah, it depends on what you want on the car. As posted above, I would also recommend having the big stuff (spoiler, ground effects kit, factory alarm, fog lights, anything electrical or structural, etc...) installed by the dealer. All of the stick-on stuff (b-pillar appliques, rear bumper applique, door sill protectors, etc...) can be found at McGeorge or other outlets much much cheaper.

Also, if you are financing, and do it through Toyota Financial, within about three months' time, you will receive a $50 gift card that can be used on sites like mcgeorgeparts.com or partznet.com, which are cheaper than the dealer, and that $50 can be stretched that much more.

Good luck with your car-buying decision, as it is a tough one. If you choose tC, you won't be disappointed, no matter what mods you decide to put or not to put on.
